Although this page is dedicated to helping beginners get started in Astrology. Much of the software on this site will be of interest to the experienced Astrologer. Until you are able to look into Astrology, you will not know whether you want to go into it deeply or just use it as a social attribute. Either way this page is designed to help you. To be a real Astrologer you need to be able to calculate a chart by hand, but this can come later if you find that you are interested. For now you need to get started. The best way is a computer program that does it all for you
