As a general rule, all prerelease versions should be used for testing purposes only. Most new features are only partially implemented. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please report any problems with the software and your ideas for improvement to the developer. Thanks for participating! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New in TP81 ----------- This is a major special update. It contains a great many improvements to the ACA module. The most significant change over the previous special update (TP71) is the separation of the Moon as a dispositor and the Moon as a phase object, later referred to as the Solar Moon. By default, the Moon as a dispositor carries the same influence as that of the Sun, while the Solar Moon is the most influential of all objects enabled. The latter Moon's influence is greater than that in earlier previews. The increased influence has greatly improved statistical significance. The analysis module in this update is still a mix of both old and new code, but tuned to produce results more inline with what can be expected in the next regular update. The code is cleaner with a lot of tuning constants eliminated. The Sankhya Yoga Ruler (SYR) retains much more dignified influence than before. The higher planets (those associated with higher sankhya yogas than the current SYR) stand to lose more influence and the lower planets keep more influence. The average integrity score for the 715 public figures is now raised and the amount of disgraced influence is lower than in earlier previews. When enabled the chaining factor should never increase integrity. The only factor which can still increase integrity is the last one in the list, the SY factor. Like before it can only happen if the diagnostic shows a value of less than 50 percent. Its positive effect is more limited than before. While a positive effect improves statistical significance, it might be slightly counter-intuitive to see the integrity score rise ever so slightly when enabling this factor, and for that reason and consistency with all the other factors, its potential for boosting integrity may see further reduction in coming updates. This update yields a lot of statistical improvements, but there are still a few charts that score much too high and a great many that score too low. One reason for this special update is that the chart for the Canadian serial killer scoring above 50 and even above 60 percent integrity in some earlier previews now scores much lower. While the average integrity score for the C715 group of charts has increased significantly, the score for the serial killer has dropped well below 33 for a noon birth. The separation of the Moon as a dispositor from the Moon as a phase object accounts for most of this drop. As a minor side-effect, the separation has also led to situations of internal planetary wars. This effect is the strongest for New and Full Moons. For the Full Moon, the phase object always wins these wars. The ideal Solar Moon influence is always to some extent assigned the Sun. On average, about half the initial influence is assigned the Sun's ideal influence. As a result, it is now more difficult to achieve stars next to the Sun in the Benevolence table, especially for Full Moons. The advantage of Full Moons over other Solar Moons is the increased awareness and thus an increased likelihood of seeing stars next to Saturn in the same table. The Moon as dispositor follows the Sun with regard to essential dignity. The only difference being the flip of primary and secondary dignities. In all future updates, I expect the average integrity score for the C715 group to land somewhere between 12 and 16. I do not believe I can manage to increase statistical significance much further, if at all. Instead, I will focus my efforts on bringing up more charts from the red categories in the C715 group and bringing down charts from the Green and higher categories in the T1080 group. All charts for known serial killers/rapists should score below Green in the first alpha release. All sociopaths and at least 99 percent of all prolific serial killers should score below YellowGreen. 100 percent of the 10 most prolific serial killers/rapists should score in the red. In a future regular update, the category conditions might be amended to include disgrace, not only integrity, as is now the case. Average chart influence is likely to drop significantly, but so is also average disgraced influence. Charts with really low integrity will only end up in the Red if they show more disgraced influence than dignified or score extremely low integrity. If they do not they will end up in the Orange, Yellow or YellowGreen categories depending on their ratio of dignified to disgraced influence. Charts can also get demoted if they have too much disgraced influence relative integrity. The following are goals for the first alpha, some of which have been met by this technological preview: A significantly raised average integrity score for the C715 group, greater than 12 percent; Fewer than 33 percent of the charts should appear in the DR category and fewer than 50 percent in the red categories; The charts of all imprisoned criminals should score below Indigo; All salesmen, players, puritans and sex offenders should score below Blue; All routinely violent criminals should score below 50, they should also score inferior disgrace at least half the integrity; All torturers, child or serial rapists and serial killers, and at least 95 percent of all other rapists and murderers, should score below Green, they should also score inferior disgrace greater than half the integrity; All thieves and psychotic people as well as drunkards and decidedly dishonest or self-applauding people should score in the Yellow or a lower category, they should also score superior disgrace greater than half the integrity; in addition, all druggies and psychotic people should have a clearly malignant Jupiter; At least 85 percent of all extra-ordinary violent criminals and at least 95 percent of all sadists, child or serial rapists, serial killers, and pseudo- psychiatrists should score in the Orange or a lower category; All perpetrators of extra violent crimes, most obviously sadistic killing, emotional abuse, and war crimes, but also violence against old people, children and animals, should score inferior disgrace greater than the integrity; If the perpetrator lacks harmful intent, but the victims still experience serious harm, then the perpetrator should score superior disgrace exceeding the integrity; All dictators should score integrity below YellowGreen; All insane, moronic, jealous, idiotic or incompetent people should score integrity below Yellow and inferior disgrace at least one third greater than the integrity; More than 55 percent of all dictators, war criminals, mad people and psychopaths should score below Orange and more than 35 percent should score in the Dark Red category; All mad (aggressive) people and anti-social (teas- ing, raping, lying) psychopaths should also score inferior disgrace at least twice the integrity and have insufficient benevolence for Jupiter, or score inferior disgrace greater than integrity and have an extremely malignant Mercury, Mars or Sun; Venus and Saturn must also score benevolence below good; The average integrity for atheists and all otherwise severely mentally retarded people should fall in the red. Without exception, their charts should score integrity below the Green category and feature a severely insufficient Sun or Mars, or alternatively, a severely malignant Venus combined with less than Good benevolence for both the Sun and Mars; at least two thirds of the charts should also have clearly insufficient benevolence for Saturn; none of them should show good benevolence for an inferior planet without extremely insufficient balance for one of the others; directly atheistic (antisocial) people should have a malignant Mercury; no atheists should score in the Green or any higher category; All bigots, xenophobes, hypocrites, as well as all clueless people prejudiced against astrology, should score integrity below the Yellow category and have inferior disgrace at least twice the integrity; All chronic psychopaths with especially low IQs, arrogant and pathetic liars, false prophets, genuine (and thus utterly unscrupulous and fully delusional) alcoholics, extremely violent aggressors, and all other completely shameless people should score in the Dark Red; they should also score inferior disgrace at least three times the integrity; More than 50 percent of the days of the last 7 cycles of Saturn should score integrity in the Orange or a higher category. Change details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ACA: There have been more than a few significant changes to the ACA module in this update. The new statistics show fewer charts scoring really low and more charts scoring in the YellowGreen or higher categories. The changes are too many to detail here in full, let alone be remembered, but they include reducing the war and combust factors for objects enjoying essential dignity. Only close wars result in high war factors, the higher the essential dignity of a loser, the closer the war has to be to achieve the same war factor as a loser with little or no essential dignity. The new Sankhya Yoga algorithm is less aggressive for most charts. The three primary variables controlling influence caps and diversions come with both floors and ceilings based on SY innate dignity. If not fully dignified, both Rahu and Saturn limit their maximum values. The new 'Curtailed' diagnostic label refers to the fact that the SY factor causes influence to be cut short, limiting its expression to a particular stage of development. Influence dispositors ruling higher SYs than the SYR stand to lose a lot of influence, some of which is diverted to the SYR. Dispositors ruling lower SYs than the SYR may retain most or all of their influence if the SYR is bestowed full dignity. The SYR never receives any influence from these dispositors. The diagnostic should only show 0 percent for the highest SY. The 100 percent value should only show up for the lowest SY and only if the Sun is not in Leo. The analysis of the AK has not changed in this update, it will in a later update. The new 'Vitiated' label refers to the fact that a high number should correspond to loss of vitality through premature aging, in a sense the opposite effect to that of the SY factor. The AK factor reveals a karmic backlog reducing the vitality. Saturn as the AK calls for stoicism. Usually, the SY factor is not a karmic indication. Instead it can reveal lack of experience, knowledge, talent, etc. Gola Yoga, or Saturn in Leo or Cancer, calls for awareness or wisdom. A future update will implement a more aggressive AK analysis. Currently, the analysis only transfers influence from the Sun (for a man) or the Moon (for a woman) to the AK. The new analysis will transfer influence between the two, as well as from all dispositor objects below the AK (in the order of the AKs) to the AK. Saturn as the AK will thus draw influence from all the other dispositor objects and if it is fully undignified and greatly advanced over the other planets it will greatly weaken them according to their lack of essential dignity in its domicile. For Saturn as the AK, the latter limitation means that the Sun and the Moon stand to lose the most (no limitation) and Mercury the least (84 percent of its influence is left unaffected). The following is the new stats. The mean integrity score has increased significantly and a lot fewer charts now score in the red categories. The obvious ultimate goal is to see fewer than 50 percent of the C715 charts in the red and fewer than 33 percent in the dark. There is obviously still room for improvement and an update will be available fairly shortly. C715 T1080 IH AH Influence: 55.52 53.52 93.81 40.36 --------------------- ----- ----- ----- Debased (%): 49.60 51.02 2.42 71.77 Polarized (%): 48.17 49.98 94.52 41.23 Cusped (%): 5.96 6.24 5.16 3.67 Opposed (%): 23.81 26.32 3.46 40.32 Scorched (%): 9.12 10.47 0.00 15.80 Chained (%): 72.53 76.53 6.50 80.14 Vitiated (%): 65.52 70.02 0.30 78.35 Blocked (%): 75.18 79.96 0.00 88.69 --------------------- ----- ----- ----- Disgrace (%): 77.98 82.88 5.84 96.71 Inferior (%): 46.93 50.53 0.99 82.91 Superior (%): 31.05 32.35 4.85 13.80 --------------------- ----- ----- ----- Integrity: 13.65 10.10 88.34 1.33 --------------------- ----- ----- ----- Category: 2.64 2.27 9 1 Neither the chart for US astrologer Isabel Hickey nor the chart for nazi dictator Adolf Hitler are included in the two chart groups. The same is true for all other charts representing astrologers and dictators. The correct gender has been entered for Isabel Hickey, but no changes have yet been made to any of the other charts. Correct gender info will be entered for all charts after the release of the first pre-alpha. The following is the new chart distribution by category: C715 T1080 1. DR (%): 38.88 46.30 2. Red (%): 13.01 14.81 3. Orange (%): 16.08 15.28 4. Yellow (%): 18.46 17.31 5. YG (%): 6.71 3.61 6. Green (%): 5.17 1.39 7. Blue (%): 1.40 0.83 8. Indigo (%): 0.28 0.46 9. Violet (%): 0.00 0.00 --------------------- ----- Five+ (%): 13.57 6.30 In the previous documented release (TP71), while the average integrity score for all the serial killers was well below average for the 715 public figures included in the test suite, and the most prolific serial killers already scored in the Red categories, there was one Canadian serial killer whose chart scored in the Blue. With this update, the charts for all known serial killers score below 50 percent integrity. In addition, all dictators score below the YellowGreen category, and all but one score below average for the 715 public figures. For the most extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into one of the red categories and the inferiority score be at least five times the integrity score, or the integrity score fall into the Orange category and the inferiority score be at least six times the integrity score. Already, the most notorious sociopaths, war criminals, scam artists, torturers, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (31.81 / 20.93 = 1,52) (1) Tzipi Livni (62.17 / 6.96 = 8,93) Dominique Strauss-Kahn (64.76 / 6.99 = 9,26) (2) Bernie Madoff (66.80 / 3.49 = 19,1) Donald Ewen Cameron (93.73 / 2.48 = 37,8) (3) Marquis de Sade (52.82 / 1.38 = 38,3) Bill Gates (63.51 / 1.26 = 50,4) Anders Behring Breivik (60.52 / 0.52 = 116) (4) Timothy McVeigh (60.46 / 0.36 = 168) Harold Shipman (65.61 / 0.16 = 410) Adolf Eichmann (53.54 / 0.09 = 595) Ted Bundy (74.26 / 0.10 = 743) 1) In this release, Kissinger's chart does not qualify but is included for reference only. His chart did qualify in some earlier previews and should do so again in a future preview. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, AK enjoying exalted dignity in its sign - but its dispositor is combust, fully undignified Libra Moon. The ACA results show a malignant Mercury, which is appropriate, but the integrity score should never exceed half the inferior disgrace for an extreme or severe psychopath, such as Mr Kissinger. 2) Strauss-Kahn fits the list as a former IMF head and a man with extremely unmanly behavior towards women. If he were born early in the day, his integrity score would be even lower than the figure listed. The noon chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, Saturn as AK fully undignified in Leo, the Moon enjoying some dignity in Aries, but with a combust dispositor. 3) Cameron was a Scottish pseudo-psychiatrist who tortured numerous patients. He is the founder of the World Psychiatric Association and its first formal president. He was also the president of the Canadian and American Psychiatric Associations in the 1950s. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully undignified Gemini Moon. 4) Breivik is a Norwegian massmurderer described as "Islam-critical and Israel-friendly" on Wikipedia. He killed 77 people in and near Oslo in 2011. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully undignified Virgo Moon. NOTE: The Moon refers to the Solar Moon (whose characteristics depend on the sign of the Sun). Perhaps the best thing about this update is that so many notorious dictators score below average integrity for the control. Only one score above average: One chart scores in the Yellow category: Mao Zedong's (14.35; 36.88; 30.95) Five charts score in the Orange category: Francisco Franco's (39.41; 39.45; 12.88) Josef Stalin's (32.98; 42.96; 12.72) Kim Jong-il's (19.85; 56.34; 10.88) Pol Pot's (55.25; 24.23; 10.68) Fidel Castro's (44.08; 41.42; 8.40) Two charts score in the Red: Vladimir Lenin's (14.67; 73.68; 5.88) Hu Jintao's (53.85; 36.52; 4.94) The remaining charts all score in the Dark Red: Ho Chi Minh's (69.75; 26.48; 1.96) Omar al-Bashir's (57.11; 39.40; 1.53) Benito Mussolini's (89.10; 7.72; 1.40) Adolf Hitler's (82.91; 13.80; 1.33) Hosni Mubarak's (57.73; 41.40; 0.44) Note: AA-rated birth data is available for Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco. For the other people listed, the times of birth are less certain or unavailable. The list does not include notorious dictators for which the date of birth is unknown. For the chart of Pol Pot, the figures are for a noon birth. The numbers vary widely with the time of day, but the integrity score never exceeds 11. It enters the Red and even the Dark Red at the end of the day. * Defaults: The default influence of the lunar nodes has changed. The North Node (Rahu) carries the same influence as Saturn. The South Node (Ketu) carries the same influence as the Sun. This change reduces their influence compared to earlier previews. Note 1: Changes in the ACA module mean that the relative importance of the lunar nodes has increased. Note 2: The South Node values have replaced those for the EP in the "Planets and Minors" settings dialog. The latter's default values have not changed. * Stats: A convenient batch function is available through the menu and by pressing CTRL+B. This function resets the stats and adds all the charts available in the directory of the currently selected chart. While processing a directory, any other command halts processing. It can be resumed by giving the "Next Chart" command. Pressing CTRL+B once more cancels processing. The client window display does not change until all available charts have been processed. The title bar shows progress or lack thereof. It is now possible to disable stats and still view any stats already gathered. Choose "Clear" from the menu or press CTRL+R to remove stats from the graphics sidebar. The "First"/"Last" chart commands only reset stats when enabled. * Graphics: Line-height is one pixel greater than before. Chart info and most other (if not indeed all) text output erases the text background. Graphics mode uses a shadow bitmap, resulting in flicker-free screen updates. In the past, this optimization has resulted in system freezes on some systems. The freezes usually only occur when moving the main window around very quickly. If you experience system stability issues, you may download an earlier technological preview and compare. If you notice any difference, please drop me a note (including information on what graphics driver you are using) and I will implement an option to disable flicker-free graphics for future releases. * Text: Sign meanings have been slightly revised, replacing "earthy" with "domineering" for Taurus, and for Libra, replacing "militant" with "oppressive" and "extrovert" with "adulterous", and adding "smarmy". For Sagittarius, replaced "sympathetic" with "devotional" (the former considered a bug). New in TP71 ----------- This is a major special update. New features include a delete chart file command and atmakaraka analysis. The update includes quite a few fixes and improvements to both text and graphics charts (especially the aspect grid). A regular update will, God willing, be available early next month. The analysis module in this update is a mix of both old and new code. The regular update should see full atmakaraka analysis and all new code for sankhya yoga analysis. The improvements in this update include slightly increased statistical significance and significantly increased average integrity score for the 715 public figures. This update yields the best statistical significance ever, but there are still a few charts that score much too high and a great many that score too low. I expect great improvements for individual charts in the planned regular update, aiming to bring the scores for all charts inline with expectations. I no longer expect the average integrity score to rise above 12, and I doubt I can manage to increase statistical significance much further, if at all. Instead I will focus on bringing up more charts from the red categories in the C715 group and bringing down all charts from the blue categories in the T1080. Change details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ACA: The new statistics show more charts scoring really low as well as more charts scoring really high. The updated analysis module avoids zero-based factors except for combustion, planetary war and cuspal placement. These factors very rarely hit zero. No major planet can have exactly zero essential dignity by sign, unless all of them completely lack dignity or strength, but with Gola Yoga and for a fallen higher planet, such as Venus, they can come very close. Planetary wars and cuspal placements have to be exact to yield zero dignity or strength.

A regular update may, God willing, be available early next month. Apart from a few fixes, this particular update significantly sharpens the combustion factor, introduces letter grades (A-F) for the six essential dignity levels, and adds atmakaraka summary stats. It also adds gender as an optional extra item to the extended chart information. Gender affects chart analysis by swapping the primary and secondary essential dignity levels for women. This update includes a few important fixes and a preliminary version of the improved residence analysis promised when TP54 was released. It yields the best statistical significance ever, but there are still a few charts that score much too high and a great many that score too low. Great improvements can be expected in the planned regular update that will include a rewrite of the analysis module, aiming to bring the scores for all charts inline with expectations. The changes in this release mostly affect the automatic chart analysis module and the influence list screen, but also include a correction in the default essential dignity table. The integrity scores have changed a lot for many charts. While the average integrity score for the C715 group of charts has risen very slightly, a huge number of charts now score really low. One of the goals for the next regular update is to greatly reduce the number of charts scoring integrity below 8 and also to significantly raise the average integrity score. The sankhya yoga, its ruler (SYR), Saturn and the atmakaraka (AK), the Sun and the Moon will be the most important factors. At last, this preview includes the new category limits to be employed in the upcoming regular update. Two category names have also been changed. Change details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved with a new residence analysis, including weighted arithmetic and geometric mean dignities of the links in dispositor chains. Some relatively small, but statistically very significant, changes have been made to the sankhya yoga analysis. The essential dignity of Saturn now affects sankhya yoga dignity. The dignity of planets ruling sankhya yogas above the current also affect the dignity of the current sankhya yoga ruler. Different planets carry different weights when calculating the arithmetic and geometric means of the links in dispositor chains. Also the product of link dignities is weighted. By default this means that the dignity of Jupiter means less than the dignity of Saturn for the dignity bestowed a planet if both planets are links in the target planet's chain of dispositors. The weights are proportionate to the innate influences of the objects in the chain. The dignity of a zero influence object has no impact on the dignity bestowed a planet. An object can often contribute dignified influence to a dispositor even if the object completely lacks essential dignity in the sign it is in. The requirement is that the dispositor chain has some essential dignity. Apart from the essential dignity determined by the sign an object is sitiuated in, the arithmetic mean of the link dignities is the most important value controlling how much dignified influence a dispositor can receive. The Moon is about 25% more influential in this preview. It has been the most important object in the analysis for quite a while now, but its importance is hard to overestimate. Cuspal range has been extended to 3 degrees. This has the effect that only three charts in the T1080 group score above 67, which is inline with the intention to offer certain guarantees for charts scoring in different chart categories (see below). The combustion effect considers retrogradation and selects shorter ranges for Mercury and Venus when applicable. The effect also kicks in later than before and grows faster. Any planet closer than five degrees to the Sun is more than 99% combust. A planet should never be more than 50% combust when more than a degree outside of a core range. There is no combustion effect at 108,3% of a core range. Earlier only the essential dignity of the Sun counted when applying a final dignity reduction for a combust planet. Now the geometric mean of the Sun's essential dignity and that of the planet itself is used. This makes combustion more severe for planets lacking essential dignity in the sign they are placed in, and less severe for planets having essential dignity. These three changes have all improved statistical significance. Letter grades (A-F) for the six essential dignity levels have replaced the previously used initials of sometimes widely unknown internal terms. A raised dot indicates unknown/undefined essential dignity and is treated as the arithmetic mean of C and D. By default no indications come with undefined dignities. The so called crown dignity in earlier previews, more properly called domicile dignity, now gets an A (or a), the exalted dignity gets a B, the assisted dignity a C, the hindered dignity a D, the earlier, so called, debilitated dignity, often called fall, gets an E, and, like before, the lowest dignity gets an F. Gender matters for essential dignity. The chart for a woman with, by default, secondary dignities (especially a, b and c), will see the integrity score rise when the correct gender has been entered in the chart info (turning 'a' to 'A' and 'b' to 'B', etc.). The reverse is true if the chart features mostly primary dignities (turning 'A' to 'a', 'B' to 'b', etc.). If you are using a pointing device, you can click the new chart info label 'Gender' once for a man and twice for a woman. This will enter an 'M' for a man and a 'W' for a woman (unless you have already entered something in the entry field, in which case you can now overwrite it by typing on the keyboard). If you enter an 'm' or a 'w', the 'm' becomes 'M' and the 'w' becomes 'W' when focus leaves the entry field. Default object influences have increased for Uranus (53), Neptune (34), Pluto (10) and the lunar nodes (100), and decreased for Lilith (5). The change for the lunar nodes is minor (98). The AK is still not a factor in the automatic chart analysis, but it will be in the next regular update. There were some wrong stats in one of the previous special updates (TP61). The correct stats are as follows: Mercury and the Sun are the most common atmakarakas in the C715 group, followed by Mars. Venus and Saturn clearly trail the rest. In the T1080 group Jupiter and Venus are the most common atmakarakas, followed by Saturn. In the atmakaraka summary stats, you can now view the average 'dignity' of the atmakarakas for a group of charts. Compared with special update TP60 this update includes a number of fixes and improvements. The chain integrity was wrong in some cases. It was also impossible to completely disable chaining. In addition, in the most recent earlier previews with all factors except debasement disabled, it was impossible to reach the expected 50 percent integrity of the C715 control group. This was due to a compounding of essential dignity for all cases except where the dignity bestowed a planet was 100 percent. These issues have now been resolved. Although the statistical significance comparing average integrities for the T1080 and C715 groups of charts is less impressive using this preview, a number of other results make me favor this preview over the previous and the last regular update. A Canadian serial killer not included in the T1080 group scored greater than 70 percent integrity using TP60. The chart now scores below 52. A fallen atmakaraka, Mars in Taurus, and an otherwise fairly dignified Moon makes the chart likely to score yet lower integrity in the next preview. The Unabomber now scores integrity below average, and Nidal Malik, the pseudo-psychiatrist who killed 13 people and wounded 30 others on a US army base, now scores significantly lower than before, putting his chart in the upper half of the Red category. Both charts feature severely afflicted atmakarakas, Jupiter in Gemini for the Unabomber and Mercury combust for the pseudo-psychiatrist. Josef Fritzl, the Austrian who kept his daughter and the three children he had with her captives in a cellar for 24 years, now scores much lower integrity than in any previous preview. His chart scored above 40 percent integrity using TP54. Now it scores below 20. Thanks to a highly undignified atmakaraka, Jupiter in Scorpio, the integrity score can be expected to drop even further in the next preview. No murderers score above 60 percent integrity using this preview and only three charts in the T1080 group score above 67. All three belong to people convicted of fraud. The two top scorers belong to a man and a woman. The current integrity score is 73 for both charts (TP65). According to classical astrology and supported by empirical tests, manly indications are less favorable for women and womanly indications less favorable for men. The pre-alpha will take gender into account and since the woman's chart features mostly or even exclusively manly indications, the integrity score can be expected to fall below the 67 limit. With the correct gender information entered, it is already below the limit using this update. Saturn as the AK will reduce the score even further. The man's chart features ideal womanly indications including Venus, the SYR, in Taurus. The chart for Josef Fritzl might also see a small additional drop since it too features mostly womanly indications, incl. Venus in Taurus. This preview introduces new category limits. The new limits combine seven essential dignity limits with seven sankhya yoga limits. The fourteen limits overlap each other, except for the red and green limits. Two categories have been renamed. The Black category is now called Dark Red and the Gray category is called Yellow Green. In the software they are abbreviated DR and YG. Integrity < 4 => 1. Dark Red (DR) Integrity < 8 => 2. Red (at least Yuga Yoga) Integrity < 16 => 3. Orange (at least Sula Yoga) Integrity < 33 => 4. Yellow (at least Pasa Yoga) Integrity < 42 => 5. YellowGreen (YG) Integrity < 58 => 6. Green Integrity < 67 => 7. Blue (at least Kedara Yoga) Integrity < 84 => 8. Indigo (at least Dama Yoga) Integrity < inf. => 9. Violet (at least Veena Yoga) The new statistics show more charts scoring really low. This is due to factors being multiplied together and also the use of a geometric mean in many places, which results in a great number of dispositor chains scoring zero, or very close to zero, dignity. The rewritten analysis module will avoid zero-based factors except for combustion, planetary war and cuspal placement. These factors very rarely hit zero.

The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, torturers, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (53,89 / 15,15 = 3,56) (1) Adolf Eichmann (38,36 / 6,10 = 6,29) Bernie Madoff (45,78 / 2,99 = 15,3) Tzipi Livni (82,71 / 2,33 = 35,5) Donald Ewen Cameron (74,33 / 0,74 = 100) (2) Timothy McVeigh (60,29 / 0,54 = 112) Bill Gates (91,18 / 0,64 = 142) Dominique Strauss-Kahn (74,15 / 0,52 = 143) (3) Anders Behring Breivik (68,09 / 0,39 = 175) (4) Harold Shipman (80,85 / 0,41 = 197) Marquis de Sade (50,78 / 0,24 = 212) Ted Bundy (87,26 / 0,39 = 224) 1) In this release, Kissinger's chart does not qualify but is included for reference only. His chart did qualify in some earlier previews and should do so again in a future preview. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, AK enjoying exalted dignity in its sign - but its dispositor is combust, fully undignified Libra Moon. 2) Cameron was a Scottish pseudo-psychiatrist who tortured numerous patients. He is the founder of the World Psychiatric Association and its first formal president. He was also the president of the Canadian and American Psychiatric Associations in the 1950s. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully undignified Gemini Moon. 3) Strauss-Kahn fits the list as a former IMF head and a man with extremely unmanly behavior towards women. If he were born early in the day his integrity score would be even lower than the figure listed. The noon chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, Saturn as AK fully undignified in Leo, the Moon enjoying some dignity in Aries, but with a combust dispositor. 4) Breivik is a Norwegian massmurderer described as "Islam-critical and Israel-friendly" according to Wikipedia. He killed 77 people in and near Oslo earlier this year. His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully undignified Virgo Moon. Perhaps the worst thing about this update is that so many dictators score above average integrity for the control, but at least their average is well below control average, and all 13 charts score in Orange or lower categories. Many of the integrity scores can be expected to fall below average in the next preview. The following four charts score above average for the control: Hu Jintao's (15,24; 72,75; 7,68) Fidel Castro's (12,53; 29,21; 56,96) Mao Zedong's (11,73; 13,07; 73,46) Vladimir Lenin's (10,51; 7,10; 80,58) Two more charts score in the Orange category: Josef Stalin's (9,23; 7,73; 77,62) Pol Pot's (8,60; 60,98; 29,48) Three charts score in the Red: Francisco Franco's (4,93; 45,14; 48,72) Adolf Hitler's (4,39; 64,62; 28,26) Benito Mussolini's (4,11; 92,85; 1,25) The remaining four charts all score in the Dark Red: Kim Jong-il's (1,51; 33,36; 64,72) Omar al-Bashir's (1,45; 40,41; 58,07) Hosni Mubarak's (0,74; 39,96; 59,01) Ho Chi Minh's (0,46; 58,86; 40,59) * Settings: A buggy default setting affected the essential dignity of the lunar nodes in the signs of Aries and Libra. The correct default, which is Rahu exalted in Libra, has now been set. Some other essential dignity defaults have also changed: The Moon, when acting as itself (which it mostly does not), is no longer exalted in Taurus and Libra, but instead in Pisces and Sagittarius. It is assisted in Scorpio and Aries. Also Mercury is assisted in the same signs (only swapping primary and secondary signs compared with the previous preview). Finally, the primary and secondary domiciles of the lunar nodes have been swapped. * Text: Chart/Influence list: The dispositors are weighted a little differently in this preview. For idealness the weights are 1/7 through 7/7 in ascending order and for harmfulness the other way around. This means that all planets contribute something to both metrics and that the neutral planet Mercury contributes equally to both metrics with 4/7 and the benefic Jupiter contributes a little more (5/7) to idealness and a little less to harmfulness (3/7). * Graphics: Colorless mode has been fixed. All colors, without exception, are now colorless. * Text: Sign meanings have been updated. A few new keywords have been added, and six substitutions have been made. * Chart info files: Characters found beyond the internal limits of their respective character strings are no longer loaded. New in TP54 ----------- This is a minor update containing small adjustments of the automatic chart analysis. Since a relatively long time has passed since the last preview and this one increases statistical significance this is a fitting interim release until there is time to finish the bigger and better improvements still ahead. These include reworked Sankhya Yoga, planetary war, and also residence analysis. The latter is the backbone of any chart analysis and results in a planet retaining all, some or none of its innate influence. Such influence is always classified as dignified. Influence which is not retained is transferred to the planetary lord of the residence. In this and earlier previews a planet that is a guest at another planet's residence and having no essential dignity there loses all its influence. Currently the lord of the residence receives this influence classified as 100% disgraced. A planet enjoying some essential dignity always transfers some of its influence classifed as dignified and the remainder as disgraced. In the next preview the dignity of the dispositor will greatly affect how transferred influence is classified as dignified and disgraced. The result will be that some charts will see increased dignified influence and reduced disgraced influence. This means, for instance, that the there will be cases where the Sun in Aquarius will give Saturn dignified influence despite the Sun having no essential dignity in this sign. This can happen when the Sun's chain of dispositors carries essential dignity. Note that the SUN will still, just as in this preview, lose ALL of its influence. Preliminary testing shows that this change might increase statistical significance. It should also help raise the average integrity score, since there will be a way for a planet to effectively operate at a more dignified level than its residence would otherwise immediately suggest. The effect of a planet operating at a less dignified level than its essential dignity by sign is already in place in this preview, but will be reworked to favor final dispostors and especially those enjoying full essential dignity. This preview also has a new chart influence list with dispositor analysis. * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved. Cuspal range is reduced to 2,5 degrees. The effect of placement within cuspal range only applies to regular planets and not to points in space, such as the lunar nodes. A cusped planet rapidly gains strength as its distance to the cusp increases. The increase follows a simple sine curve. These two changes have effectively reduced the cuspal factor and have for the first time brought positive statistical significance to this factor as revealed by the "cusped" diagnostic below. In the test group each and everyone of the seven classical planets has its influence more cusped than in the control! The planetary strength reduction within cuspal range is a mere 5% at 2 degrees, 41% at 1 degree, almost 70% at 0,5 degrees and 100% at exactly 0 degrees. Minor dignities are now even more minor. The dignity levels are 1 (domicile/rulership), 5/6 (exaltation) and 7/12 (down from 4/6). The default minor dignities for Mars and Venus have been reversed. This deviates from the traditional exalted dignity of Mars in Capricorn. The exact dignity level used in the automatic chart analysis is 5/12. Venus now has minor dignity in Aquarius and Capricorn and Mars in Leo and Cancer. As a result Venus in Leo or Cancer contributes less integrity and more inferiority than before. The atmakaraka, the planet who has advanced the farthest in any sign, is still without effect in the automatic chart analysis. The Sun is considered the natural atmakaraka. It generally spells better fortune, more fun and a more powerful self. Saturn shows worse fortune, more service and a less powerful self. If the AK is weak, for instance through a lack of essential dignity, the whole chart is supposed to be weak. Also if the AK is any other planet than the Sun or the Moon then the Sun and the Moon will lose influence to this planet. When using the automatic chart analysis it is always important to check the strength and dignity of the individual planets and not only the overall scores. The strongest dispositor planet in the chart is always a good starting point for an astrological interpretation (see Chart/Influence list). For Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Ho Chi Minh, Hu Jintao and Omar al- Bashir it is the diabolic and dictatorial Sun. For Hosni Mubarak it is the grandiose and ruthless Mars. For Josef Stalin it is the reckless and self-applauding Jupiter spelling a huge superiority complex, and for Mao Zedong the unkind and invincible Saturn with an even greater sense of superiority. The changes in this release have improved statistical significance for the cusped diagnostic, inferior disgrace, and the integrity score. The ordering of individual charts has probably not changed much, but individual differences in integrity have of course seen a a lot of changes as is the case for the charts of actress Sandra Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic actress now scores 12,89 (17,04) and the chart for the less sympathetic dictator 6,37 (9,07).

The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (10,06 & 58,90 => 5,85*) Adolf Eichmann (5,58 & 38,63 => 7,02) Bernard Madoff (2,01 & 29,01 => 14,5) Bill Gates (4,09 & 70,35 => 17,2) Marquis de Sade (1,80 & 52,07 => 28,9) Dominique Strauss-Kahn (1,76 & 70,66 => 41,6) Tzipi Livni (1,86 & 87,94 => 48,9) Timothy McVeigh (1,12 & 65,48 => 59,5) Harold Shipman (1,18 & 82,99 => 75,4) Ted Bundy (0,42 & 67,79 => 169) * In this release Kissinger's chart is just short of qualifying, but in a future ACA revision his chart might qualify depending on the strength or weakness of the atmakaraka. With this release only two dictators score above average for the control and most score in the Orange or lower categories. The top two charts belong to Mao Zedong (20,36; 5,29; 71,77) and Fidel Castro (10,22; 31,56; 57,13). All the remaining charts score below the average for the control. Four charts score in the Yellow category: Francisco Franco's (6,85; 44,34; 47,53), Hu Jintao's (6,37; 80,69; 11,19), Josef Stalin's (6,28; 9,18; 80,49) and Vladimir Lenin's (6,27; 5,94; 86,75). Two charts score in the Orange: Benito Mussolini's (4,36; 91,56; 2,35) and Adolf Hitler's (4,11; 61,47; 32,10). One chart scores in the Red: Pol Pot's (1,86; 76,27; 21,42). The remaining four charts all score in the Black: Hosni Mubarak's (0,72; 44,15; 54,83), Ho Chi Minh's (0,44; 67,32; 32,10), Omar al-Bashir's (0,41; 55,36; 44,19) and Kim Jong-il's (0,33; 33,22; 66,38). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control. Its average integrity score is 11,07 with a category average of 3,89. 41,51% of the charts score in the Gray or higher categories. The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,13; 49,06; 41,70), 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,51; 52,01; 38,26), 100 white female murderers (8,05; 48,54; 40,86), 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (7,21; 51,06; 39,72), and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,39; 50,32; 40,29). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 9,02. This preview adds object influence aggregation as a final step in the chart analysis. It has no effect on any overall metrics, such as the chart integrity score, but simply gathers the influence of all the included objects under six ultimate dispositors. Since only the classical planets (rulers of the 12 signs of the zodiac) can act as dispositors no other objects can receive influence anyway. The system thus transfers any influence retained by other objects to these ultimate dispositor objects. In this scheme, the Sun and the Moon together reveal the mentality and the brain as a physical organ. The Sun is to the Moon as Yang is to Yin, ie. the Sun represents both the brain as whole and more specifically the left- side, while the Moon specifically represents the right-side. Any influence carried by the Moon when acting as the dispositor for Cancer or retained when representing itself is transferred to the Sun. When the Moon represents another planet based on its aspect to the Sun its retained influence is transferred to the planet it represents. Upon completion of this step there is an even number of six ultimate dispositors, each responsible for two signs (one manly and one womanly). Following this release, three planned major improvements remain to be implemented. Two will impact all charts: A redesign of the Sankhya Yoga analysis and a more dynamic residence analysis. The third will only affect a select group of charts. It targets planetary wars in the same sign as the Sun, which are not greatly or fully affected by combustion. In this and previous releases such wars are practically ignored as only the Sun is recorded as the winner. The charts affected by the necessarily much more complex code change are quite few. A short list includes the charts for the following people: Richard Nixon, Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler, Thomas Watt Hamilton and Theodore Kaczynski. In the case of Nixon's chart the change will have little effect in absolute terms as his chart already scores in the Red, while it may have great effect on the chart for the Una Bomber as the planetary war involves the sankhya yoga ruler and the chart's current score puts it in the upper Gray. If you come across any other charts which deviate from what you expect with regard to the integrity score please let me know. In particular I know of no charts for serial killers, war criminals, serial rapists or mass murderers which score in the Blue or higher categories using this preview. The category limits will change in the next preview. The new limits will reflect the dignity levels innate to the seven sankhya yogas plus the two new minor residence dignity levels. With these new limits it will be possible to attach certain astrological guarantees to the charts in each category based on the minimum sankhya yoga required to qualify in a particular category. The system will no longer be calibrated to yield an average integrity score of 10,00 for the C715 control group. The average is therefore expected to land higher, probably somewhere between 10 and 20. * Text: Chart/Influence list: Object analysis has been replaced by dispositor analysis, which is a listing of the objects capable of receiving influence from other objects. Below the basic absolute numbers for total, dignified and disgraced influence, there are six new tables. On the first row you find "Balance", "Benevolence" and "Disgrace". Each value listed in these three tables is relative the ideal value for the planet, which is based on the initial influence set for the planet plus the influence of any other planets it lords over. On the second and last row you find "Dignity", "Idealness" and "Harmfulness". Dignity is dignified influence relative total influence. Idealness and harmfulness is the same as benevolence and disgrace for each planet, but expressed relative the planet's balance for balance values exceeding 100%. A planet's idealness and flawedness/harmfulness can thus never exceed 100%. The bottom line averages are weighted means. The planets' weights correspond with the dignity of the associated sankhya yoga for the idealness average and its opposite for the harmfulness average, thus the Sun can never contribute idealness and Saturn never harmfulness. Mercury and Jupiter both carry the same weight (0,5). In this preview most charts show an excess of plus signs, minus signs, and exclamation marks. * Text: The "Meanings" of a few signs have changed slightly, notably adding the keywords "rich" to Cancer and "poor" to Aquarius. Libra has lost the keywords "neurotic" to Gemini and "calm" to Leo. The latter change can be considered a textual bugfix, since Libra is perhaps one of the least calm signs and the most restless and unstable. New in TP50 ----------- The primary reason for this release is to provide a fix for a bug in the automatic chart analysis. The bug was semantic, in the sense that the code did what it was supposed to do, but still not exactly what was originally intended. The effect was that integrity for charts with undignified sign placements saw a boost that was proportionately greater than for those with dignified sign placements. Some other changes and additions have also been made, but nothing major. The bigger and better release is still ahead. * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved. Fixed a semantic bug in the substitution algorithm that increased dignified influence for less than fully dignified sign placements beyond the essential dignity of the planet in the sign. This had a proportionately greater effect on less dignified placements than for more dignified, thus changing the code to never go beyond the essential dignity limit has increased statistical significance. It also means that the integrity score should never be able to exceed the total chart influence minus debased influence. The atmakaraka, the planet who has advanced the furthest in any sign, is now presented next to the Sankhya Yoga for the current chart. You can also choose "Atmakarakas" from the "Stats" menu to see the atmakaraka distribution for the currently selected group of charts. Only the 7 classical planets can become atmakarakas in this release. The effect of cuspal placement has been decreased in general and also changed for the Sun, Venus, Mars and Saturn, so that the Sun and Mars are less cusped in so called infancy, ie placement very early in a sign, and Venus and Saturn are less cusped in old age, or very late in a sign. The exact implemention will change in the next release. The full range of this factor is still 15 degrees, but the practical effect is minute until a planet comes closer than about five degrees from a cusp. The effect of combustion and planetary wars should now vary more depending on the planets involved. In general the outcome can be more benign, unless the planets are completely antagonistic. In some cases a so called war or even combustion can improve the dignity of a planet. This can be the case if the losing planet is undignified in the sign it is in. Influence chaining (introduced in the previous release) matter less in this release, but still serves to give the charts that need it greater inferiority scores, such as that for serial rapist and probable serial killer Anthony Sowell. In the next release, which will incorporate the atmakaraka as an important factor, his chart may see an even greater inferiority score, it already exceeds 70. A bug in the influence chaining routine has also been fixed, very slightly improving statistical significance. The changes in this release has improved statistical significance for a lot of values including the integrity score, but also debasement (lack of essential dignity), polarization (secondary instead of primary dignity in sign), and cuspal placement in particular. For the first time there are now charts in the control group scoring in the highest category. The ordering of individual charts has also changed in many places, or their distance has increased as is the case for the charts of actress Sandra Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic actress now scores 17,04 (up from 14,38) and the chart for the less sympathetic dictator only 9,07 (down from 9,59).

The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,55 & 56,25 => 5,89), Adolf Eichmann (5,23 & 47,61 => 9,10), Bernard Madoff (1,88 & 30,44 => 16,2), Bill Gates (4,09 & 70,35 => 17,2), Tzipi Livni (2,53 & 85,85 => 33,9), Marquis de Sade (1,39 & 52,80 => 38,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,69 & 75,20 => 44,5), Harold Shipman (1,46 & 90,33 => 61,9), Ted Bundy (0,87 & 72,03 => 82,8). In this release Kissinger does not qualify, but since his atmakaraka is Mars he will have no trouble fitting the bill in the next release. With this release only three dictators score above average for the control and most score in the Orange or lower. The top three charts belong to Mao Zedong (23,75; 5,27; 67,14), Fidel Castro (18,46; 26,56; 53,08) and Francisco Franco (10,57; 47,21; 40,32). All the remaining charts score below the average for the control. Three charts score in the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,07; 81,77; 4,68), Benito Mussolini's (7,32; 88,07; 1,82), and Josef Stalin's (6,93; 32,47; 57,60). Two charts score in the Orange, Adolf Hitler's (4,76; 79,59; 12,81) and Vladimir Lenin's (3,53; 9,81; 85,51), and another two in the red, Pol Pot's (1,67; 86,47; 11,43) and Hosni Mubarak's (1,32; 53,42; 44,73). The remaining charts score in the Black: Omar al-Bashir's (0,60; 47,93; 51,41), Ho Chi Minh's (0,53; 78,98; 20,32) and Kim Jong-il's (0,23; 54,13; 45,47). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,54 with a category average of 3,85. 35,85% of the charts score in the Gray or higher categories. The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,08; 48,82; 41,07); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,58; 51,76; 37,54); 100 white female murderers (8,53; 47,67; 39,98); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (6,95; 50,65; 39,39); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,57; 49,85; 39,46). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 8,86. New in TP49 ----------- * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved. Fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have more than half of the control charts score in Yellow or higher category, at least a third in Gray or higher, and fewer than one tenth in the Black. This release meets the first two goals and also manages to push down the number of control charts in the Black category from over 14% in TP39 to just under 11%. Fixing a bug inadvertently reducing dignified influence more than was intended for some charts with Pasa yoga or lower sankhya yogas has contributed to this reduction. Also other improvements to the sankhya yoga algorithm, as well as to most of the other factors have contributed greater statistical significance. The essential dignity of the Sun has increased in importance. If the Sun enjoys zero dignity then all the planets will be reduced to their minimum power (brightness), which will affect their dignity, strength and susceptibility to the chaining effect. For a fully dignified Sun this change has no effect. The retrogradation subfactor of essential dignity and strength in sign, which could boost these values for retrograde Jupiter and Saturn, no longer depends on velocity (direct/retrograde motion), but instead considers estimated brightness based on elongation. The brighter the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) the greater the boost to dignity and strength. Conversely, below average brightness can reduce the same values. Since the charts for criminals in the test group tend to have these planets darker than the charts for public figures in the control, this feature has good statistical effect. The range of the cuspal factor, or strength in sign, has been extended to its maximum 15 degrees (up from 12 degrees), while the overall effect has been toned down leaving less influence cusped than in TP39. The scorching factor, or combustion in general speak, now kicks in later than before, but also grows more quickly on approach towards the Sun. This change has meant a slight increase in scorched influence and a very clear increase in statistical significance. A new feature is called influence chaining, which is a recursive process which passes on received (primarily undignified, but also some dignified) influence in the same way innate influence is transferred through the regular substitution process. Only objects with some innate influence can retain received influence. This feature has mixed impact on statistical significance, but serves to give the charts that need it greater inferiority scores, such as that for serial rapist and probable serial killer Anthony Sowell. The outcome of the sankhya yoga algorithm is now more predictable from the Numbered diagnostic. A value below 50 predicts a possible increase in dignified influence. A value above 50 always results in decreased influence if possible. With this revision the sankhya yoga ruler has strength to retain some dignified influence. This has boosted the integrity score for Albert Einstein's chart from red to orange. Compared to the unofficial bug fix release (TP48) the increase in statistical significance is minute. Instead the major statistical change in this release is the increase of the number of charts scoring in the Gray and higher categories. The ordering of individual charts has also changed in many places. One example is the order reversal of the charts for actress Sandra Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic actress now scores above average (14,38) and the chart for the less sympathetic dictator now scores below average (9,59).

Integrity < 1 => 1. Black Integrity < 3 => 2. Red Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange Integrity < 10 => 4. Yellow Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue Integrity < 70,0 => 8. Indigo Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet This results in an easy to remember number series (1,2,3,4) for the ranges covered by the first four categories now representing integrity scores below average for the C715 public control group. The TP49 chart distribution by category, using the integrity limits listed above, is as follows: C715 T1080 1. Black (%): 10,63 11,20 2. Red (%): 15,52 22,87 3. Orange (%): 19,44 21,48 4.

Violet (%): 0,00 0,00 --------------------- ----- Five+ (%): 37,34 26,85 Obviously this categorization is very rough and there will be many individual differences that can be discerned by looking at the influence distribution over planets, as well as factors outside of astrology, including, but not limited to status of parents, country and cultural setting, etc. Astrology can predict a bad childhood, but the exact details will of course vary with the context. There are also additional astrological factors such as timing, which determine if a given potential can materialize or not. For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into the Orange or a lower category and the inferiority score be at least five times as great as the integrity score, or alternatively the inferiority score be at least six times as great as the integrity score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,61 & 59,60 => 6,20), Adolf Eichmann (3,26 & 42,81 => 13,1), Marquis de Sade (2,01 & 29,97 => 14,9), Bernard Madoff (2,26 & 44,90 => 19,9), Tzipi Livni (3,60 & 72,02 => 20,0), Bill Gates (1,83 & 93,39 => 51,0), Harold Shipman (1,36 & 91,16 => 67,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,11 & 91,29 => 82,2), and Ted Bundy (0,72 & 96,37 => 134). With this release only three dictators score above average for the control and most score in the Red. The top three charts belong to Fidel Castro (31,0; 21,0; 44,9), Mao Zedong (23,6; 14,3; 58,1) and Francisco Franco (11,7; 41,8; 43,7). All the remaining charts score integrity below the average for the control. Two charts score in the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,6; 76,2; 8,5) and Josef Stalin's (6,9; 25,1; 64,8). Four charts score in the Orange: Adolf Hitler's (4,9; 84,7; 7,5), Benito Mussolini's (4,8; 88,5; 4,7), Vladimir Lenin's (4,1; 20,9; 72,2) and Pol Pot's (3,8; 77,2; 17,8). The remaining charts score in the Red: Kim Jong-il's (1,7; 40,2; 56,6), Hosni Mubarak's (1,5; 29,7; 68,3), Ho Chi Minh's (1,1; 55,7; 60,2) and Omar al-Bashir's (1,0; 42,4; 56,4). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,64 with a category average of 3,9. 39,62% of the charts score in the Gray or higher categories. The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,3; 48,5; 40,4); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,8; 51,6; 36,9); 100 white female murderers (8,5; 49,3; 37,6); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (7,3; 50,7; 38,2); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,8; 49,3; 39,2). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 9,0.

Some primary and secondary essential dignities have been switched, see Help/Planets for a listing of all essential dignities. You can change these using the same command-line options as in the original Astrolog software. The Moon's programmatic influence has been increased again. The Moon was already in the previous release by far the most important object, but its weight is now even greater, improving statistical significance. Currently the Moon carries about four times the actual influence of the average planet (its own influence plus that of its accidental rulership based on its sign aspect with the Sun). Only the Moon has this programmatic influence increase. All the other objects carry the exact influences shown in the Object settings dialogs. The analysis module has been tested for effectiveness using the same test and control groups as used with the previous releases. The average integrity score for the criminal test group is now 79% of that of the average for the control group, which is down from about 86% in TP22. A new diagnostic has been added to independently track the effect of placement in primary and secondary dignity. A placement is recorded as Polarized when having secondary essential dignity. In theory this should indicate the womanly complement. Initial testing using mostly untimed charts for 196 lesbians yields a Polarized average of 49,69. The corresponding figure produced using mostly untimed charts for 244 homosexual males is 52,38. The expanded analysis output for the control and test groups using program defaults (7 planets plus the lunar nodes) is as follows: C715 T1080 IH AH Influence: 64,25 63,59 84,21 62,67 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Debased (%): 50,50 51,36 4,51 65,92 Polarized (%): 48,12 49,93 6,06 21,05 Cusped (%): 29,27 29,22 15,77 23,41 Opposed (%): 24,36 25,46 12,59 46,63 Scorched (%): 9,73 10,63 0,00 14,47 Chained (%): 79,73 80,54 14,87 82,49 Numbered (%): 74,80 77,16 7,72 77,55 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Disgrace (%): 84,81 88,00 11,31 94,61 Inferior (%): 49,10 50,79 0,14 85,80 Superior (%): 35,71 37,20 11,17 8,81 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Integrity: 10,00 7,90 74,69 3,38 -------------- ----- ----- ----- ----- Category: 3,66 3,30 9 3 You may notice that the Cusped diagnostic for the first time shows a slightly higher value for the control than for the test group. This can be explained by the Moon's greatly increased weight in this release and the fact that most of the charts in the test group are untimed. With the Moon disabled the corresponding figures are 29,10 for the control and 29,12 for the test group. It is my prediction that if only accurately timed charts are used the statistical significance will be a lot greater, especially with the Moon enabled. In this release the cusp range extends 12 degrees from each cusp. The inferiority score should reveal potential for antisocial behavior. Inferior disgrace can also show forth as childishness, incompetence and excessive humility. An inferiority score below ten in combination with a strong sidereal rising sign should rule out the possibility of severe antisocial behavior, including violent extremes such as all rape and torture, cruelty to animals, pseudo- psychiatry, as well as any state-sanctioned unlawful killing, such as capital punishments in some countries, killing of unborn children, euthanasia, genocide and suicide. The strong sidereal rising signs are Aquarius, Capricorn, Libra and Taurus. If the inferiority score is greater than the integrity score and either Jupiter, Venus or Saturn is very weak (registering very little influence) there can be intellectual, social or universal/spiritual retardation. In the case of a weak Saturn health problems and dyslexia can also be predicted. For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into a Yellow or lower category and the inferiority score be at least five times as great as the integrity score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Tzipi Livni (6,7 & 42,4 => 6,3), Henry Kissinger (8,3 & 62,3 => 7,5), Bernard Madoff (4,1 & 82,7 => 20,2), Bill Gates (2,0 & 84,0 => 42,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,2 & 54,0 => 45), Marquis de Sade (1,0 & 45,6 => 45,6), Adolf Eichmann (0,9 & 41,4 => 46), Harold Shipman (0,9 & 86,7 => 96,3), and Ted Bundy (0,5 & 91,0 => 182). The superiority score should reveal potential hypersocial behavior, including infidelity and adultery (without antisocial intent), and a lack of respect for people in general. High superiority scores should also be indicative of repression and lack of authenticity, humility and bravery. People with a weak Sun and an emphasis on superiority are less likely to know themselves and are consequently also less likely to know the people around them. Charts with a superiority score exceeding 50% or at least twice as great as the integrity and with a margin greater than the inferiority score should reveal a genuine superiority complex. If the superiority score is greater than the integrity score and either the Sun, Mars or Mercury is very weak (registering very little influence) there can be mental, analytical or sensual retardation. In the case of a weak Mercury problems with concentration and memory can be predicted. With this revision, 4 of the 13 dictators included in the Astrolog for OS/2 Chart Collection score above average integrity for the control: Fidel Castro (31,1; 15,9; 49,5), Mao Zedong (27,8; 31,8; 35,0), Hu Jintao (15,2; 65,1; 12,9), and Francisco Franco (12,7; 41,7; 43,0). All the remaining charts score integrity below the average for the control, as well as below the average for the criminal test group, including those of Josef Stalin (7,7; 17,9; 69,9) and Pol Pot (7,4; 56,7; 32,9). The following charts all score integrity below category 4, i.e. more than half of the control charts score higher integrity: Adolf Hitler's (3,4; 85,8; 8,8), Vladimir Lenin's (2,7; 35,0; 60,0), Benito Mussolini's (1,8; 92,7; 4,8), Ho Chi Minh's (1,6; 37,5; 60,2), Kim Jong-il's (1,3; 36,9; 60,3), Hosni Mubarak's (0,8; 61,7; 37,2), Omar al-Bashir's (0,4; 32,2; 67,3). The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges (all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building the control). Its average integrity score is 10,29 with a category average of 3,75. 42,45% of the charts score in a Gray or higher category. The test group includes the following subgroups of at least 100 charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,6; 49,7; 38,7); 244 past and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (8,1; 51,0; 36,8); 100 white female murderers (8,4; 50,3; 36,6); 105 assorted serial rapists and killers (7,5; 48,6; 39,6); and 189 people convicted of first degree murder (7,7; 50,4; 37,9). One subgroup scores well above average for the test group as a whole: 92 people in prison for fraud (first and second degree) have an average integrity score of 9,0. The updated chart analysis module also produces a new category output, which for now simply divides the integrity range in nine different bands, with the fifth starting about halfway between the criminal test group average and the control group average, and ending exactly a ninth the distance towards full from the latter. The fourth category surrounds the criminal test group average. This category output makes it easier to track chart distribution and may in later releases also be augmented with constraints based on the inferiority and superiority scores. In the pre-alpha the user will be able to adjust these limits, but for this initial release they are fixed as follows: Integrity < 1 => 1. Black Integrity < 3 => 2. Red Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange Integrity < 9 => 4. Yellow Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue Integrity < 66,7 => 8. Indigo Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet Slighty fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have at least a third of control charts score in the Gray or higher categories, and fewer than one tenth in the Black. For a new control consisting of the 75 232 noon (UTC) charts spanning the seven last cycles of Saturn the share currently scoring in the Black is 15,4%. I hope to bring this down in the pre-alpha, so that fewer than one ninth register in the Black. The average integrity score is 9,01. The category distribution for the C715 and T1080 groups, using the integrity limits mentioned earlier, is as follows: Charts (n): 715 1080 --------------------- ----- 1. Black (%): 14,13 17,13 2. Red (%): 17,76 20,74 3. Orange (%): 16,64 20,28 4. Yellow (%): 12,17 11,76 5. Gray (%): 24,90 20,00 6. Green (%): 8,67 7,69 7. Blue (%): 4,90 1,76 8. Indigo (%): 0,84 0,65 9. Violet (%): 0,00 0,00 --------------------- ----- Five+ (%): 39,30 30,09 If you have any ideas for additional analysis factors to include or tests you would like to see done please contact me. All data used are available to the public via the Internet. I would appreciate if you let me know of any timed charts for serial killers that score in the Blue or higher categories, there should not be any! Note: Starting with this release you have to enable chart analysis on the new Analysis menu. You can also selectively disable one or more features of the ACA module, and turn on/off diagnostics. * Stats Function: You can have the software gather statistics for a group of charts by selecting Enable on the new Stats menu. The current chart will be added and all subsequently analyzed charts as well. The stats will only be reset when you select Reset on the Stats menu or use the First Chart or Last Chart commands on the File menu. * Chart Show: Akin to a picture slide show you can create a show of astrological charts by selecting Auto Repeat on the File menu. Start the show by pressing Ctrl+PgUp for the previous or Ctrl+PgDn for the next chart in sequence. Another chart will be loaded automatically at the set timer interval specified from the Animation menu. To pause you can press Ctrl+Pause. To resume use the same key combination again and restart. Standing notes on the ACA feature --------------------------------- =================== DISPOSITOR ANALYSIS =================== Dispositor analysis is a text listing of the objects capable of receiving influence from other objects. It is available from TP54 onward. Below the basic absolute numbers for total, dignified and disgraced influence, there are six tables. On the first row you find "Dignity", "Esteem" and "Disgrace". In the first table some dignified influence and no disgraced yields 100% dignity. The second table shows dignified influence divided by ideal influence. The third table presents disgraced influence divided by a value close to but always less than ideal influence. The ideal influence for a dispositor is based on the innate influence set for the planet plus the influence of any other planets it lords over. For the Sun the ideal influence amounts to the innate influence of the Sun plus that of the Moon. It also includes the influence of the Solar Moon, a special object sharing its placement with the normal Moon object, but with characteristics based on the sign aspect cast by the Sun. The Solar Moon is by default the most influential object, but if either the Sun or the normal Moon is assigned zero influence then the Solar Moon is assigned zero influence as well. On the second and last row you find "Balance", "Benevolence" and "Malevolence". Balance is total influence divided by a weighted mean of ideal influence and full disgrace. If dignity is 100% the weighted mean equals ideal influence, if dignity is 0% it equals full disgrace. Benevolence and Malevolence are the same as Esteem and Disgrace, but expressed relative the planet's Balance for balance values exceeding 100%. A planet's Benevolence and Malevolence can never exceed 100%. The bottom line averages are weighted means. The weight carried by a planet increases with the dignity of the associated sankhya yoga for the Benevolence average and the reverse for the Malevolence average, thus the Sun contributes the least to the Benevolence average and Saturn the least to the Malevolence average. The weight assigned Mercury is exactly the same in both averages. To the right of the percentages you may find signs indicating especially noteworthy values. Stars highlight values pointing to benevolent abilities and strengths, minuses show deficiencies, plusses excesses, and exclamation marks malevolent character traits to be watched extra carefully. There can be one to four instances of each sign, with 1 indicating the lowest magnitude and 4 the highest. * = promising ! = ominous ** = good !! = malignant *** = very good !!! = severely malignant **** = excellent !!!! = extremely malignant + = excessive - = lacking ++ = clearly excessive -- = clearly insufficient +++ = severely excessive --- = severely insufficient ++++ = extremely excessive ---- = extremely insufficient The specific interpretation depends on the planet. For the Sun, stars indicate authenticity, material control/dignity, beneficial publicity, faith, good fortune, productivity, dignified privacy, a well-functioning brain, etc. Exclamation marks can reveal childish and diabolic behavior, along with gullibility, selfishness, greed, bad temper, crankiness, a lot of talk and arrogance, addiction, melancholy and depression. When found under benevolence, plus signs can show too much of a good thing, such as too much publicity, too much power, too much fun, or being too rich. Minus signs for the Sun reveal deficiencies of the brain and a lack of material fortune. There is less enjoyment in life and most obviously less public and private dignity, little or no bravery or lack of shyness and prudence. So long as its dignity exceeds 50%, an insufficient Sun can be interpreted as merely a weak sense of self, but there can also be more severe issues, such as mental disability and mental illness, including fraud, severe mood swings and brain injuries, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases, or ALS. A short summary with keywords for all six dispositor planets can be found below. For the first three categories, roughly between a third and two thirds of the keywords should apply to any particular chart with stars, exclamation points or plusses. Many keywords only apply to one of the two signs ruled by the planet and if that sign is not emphasized in the chart those keywords will miss the mark to some extent. A few of the keywords, usually listed last in the category, only apply in extreme cases. More keywords can be found in the program through Help/Meanings. For each sign, the first seven or so keywords apply to the star category. The last keywords before the final comma apply to the malignant category. All of the keywords in the minus lists are applicable to ACA results indicating extremely insufficient balance. For lack of benevolence, the relevance of the minus lists increase if there are exclamation marks next to the planet's opposite. A few of the minus list assertions are only relevant to a lack of balance, not benevolence alone.

Conversely, the last table on each row never shows any stars, as its values are never promising. Instead dots are used to indicate safe values. A single dot indicates a possibly safe value, two dots a usually safe value, three dots a very safe value and four dots shows there is extremely little or exactly nothing to worry about with regard to that particular planet. In general, the actual safety of a planet showing something other than a perfectly safe value (three or fewer dots) also depends on the benevolence of its opposite planet. A possibly safe value for an individual planet is only safe most of the time if average benevolence is not lacking and the planet's opposite has sufficient benevolence. A possibly safe overall value is only safe if average benevolence is not lacking. In case of severely insufficient benevolence only completely safe values can be considered safe. · = possibly safe (! = ominous) ·· = usually safe (!! = malignant) ··· = very safe (!!! = severely malignant) ···· = safe (!!!! = extremely malignant) Similarities between Planets of Similar Evolutionary Development ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are similarities between the first three planets, and also between the last three. These similarities are no coincidence, but due to the fact that the first three planets are inferior and the last three are superior (opposite the inferior). When strong, the inferior planets show speed of learning and ability to assert one- self. They are braver, more courageous, bolder, more genuine and honest than the superior, but also less experienced, less secure, more timid, more against things and more prone to fault-finding, one of them can even find faults when there are no faults to be found. When introverted they show potential for violence, killing and aggression. The superior planets reveal greater awareness, a sense of morality and justice, smartness and neatness, and capacity to consider, understand and accept other people. They are older, more laid back and less prejudiced, but when introverted also more prone to narcissism, victimization, and in the case of Jupiter assumption of insight or being right without any evidence or even a hint to that effect. People with severe disorders of inferiority, shown as inferior disgrace exceeding chart integrity, including psychopaths, serial killers and alcoholics should always have one or more exclamation marks next to one of the inferior planets. People with disorders of superiority, such as crooks, fraudsters and perverts should have one or more exclamation marks next to one of the superior planets. More specifically, for a rapist the mark should be next to Mercury and for a crook (a dishonest, unsympathetic, not so clever, but usually non-violent offender) next to Jupiter. The requirement is lessened only if overall benevolence is insufficient or overall malevolence is ominous or worse. In this case it is enough that the specific malevolence value is unsafe (no dots). For dictators the inferiority/superiority distribution tends to follow ideological lines with fascists, such as Mussolini and his even more infamous follower, Hitler, having greater emphasis on inferiority, and socialists, such as Lenin and Stalin, stressing superiority. To recapitulate, inferiority complexes are associated with the inferior planets and are thus indicated by exclamation points next to the Sun, Mars and Mercury (the young, material or direct, and potentially childish and arrogant, selfish and greedy planets); superiority complexes are associated with the superior planets and are thus revealed by exclamation points next to Jupiter, Venus and Saturn (the mature, lofty or detached, and potentially crafty and depraved, poor and envious planets). Capitalism requires significant inferior disgrace and socialism significant superior disgrace. Both require lack of faith and humility. Most people are neither capitalists nor socialists. Some de facto capitalists advocate socialism for everyone else. The analysis results for these people's charts show exclamation marks next to both inferior and superior planets. Similarities between Opposite Planets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are also similarities between opposites: Both Mercury and Jupiter are mutable planets. While Mercury rules honesty and verbal communication (voice, spelling and grammar), Jupiter rules Truth and language (tone, sense and logic). It is easy to see that you need both to be a truly truthful person and a fluent speaker of any language. Barack Obama, derided as the teleprompter President, has a strong and clearly favorable Mercury, but a weak and insufficient Jupiter. He should be youthful and easier to talk to than most people, but also short on vision, truth and fluency of expression. His sense of humor is lacking and he is more likely to follow the advice of others than to take the lead himself. More importantly, his direct involvement in unlawful killings and, to quote the New York Times, "lethal action without hand-wringing", reveals a clearly deficient moral sense (the Benevolence table shows severely insufficient influence for Jupiter). Barack Obama is against prosecuting those responsible for torture under the George W. Bush administration, and he has appointed John O. Brennan, a torture supporter, as his chief counterterrorism advisor. In addition to greatly increasing the number of lethal drone strikes the US government carries out around the world (on average killing more civilians, including women and children, than alleged terrorists or militants), Barack Obama also supports partial birth and sex- selection abortion and opposes protection for babies who are born alive as a result of induced abortion. According to Israel's oldest daily newspaper, the Haaretz, Obama cast his first veto in the UNSC against the settlement resolution: "And Israel, an international pariah, once again found itself supported only by America." The horoscope governing the United States of America (4 Jul 1776 18:30 UTC-5) shows an even weaker Jupiter. The US government in general and the current President in particular fail to see what most of the rest of the World sees clearly: The President and his advisors, blind to all things true, moral and humorous, are headed for Hell. Jupiter is the planet of vision. When Jupiter is weak, so is the vision as well. A large part of the US foreign policy is dictated by a tiny state in the Middle East and its most extreme political party, the Likud, and above all the most extreme members of that party. Another side of the harbinger of joy is competition. The extreme lack of benevolence associated with Jupiter in the natal horoscope of the United States reveals a lack of competitiveness. The emphasis on Cancer in the chart shows greed as one of the Nation's strongest driving forces. Since the US is unlikely to come out a winner in competition, it sees a need to cleverly persuade other countries to relinquish their resources, or if that fails, due to a lack of corruption in a particular country, to invade and put in place more cooperative or at least more easily manipulated governments using military force. The weakness of Jupiter also supports the isolation of the US government in world affairs and its steadily increasing unpopularity around the globe. Many of its own citizens have become more than a little disenchanted as well. The corrupt US government allows banksters and other kleptcrats free reign to plunge more and more people into economic and social misery. A weak Jupiter signifies a weak leader, and a weak leader means a lack of prosperity. The planet of money, Mercury, is in the horoscope of the US much stronger than Jupiter. It carries very significant benevolence, but Mercury is no substitute for Jupiter: The US is said to have "the best government money can buy", but it is at best difficult to buy a good government, what you are most likely to get is an amoral government that supports immorality in the private sector and easily turns immoral itself. Without morality there can be no joy and with immorality there can only be a rock-bottom low. As a unit, the weak Jupiter and the strong Mercury clearly points to the immorality and inconsistency we have seen from the US polity in both foreign and domestic matters, but also the antisocial actions taken by mainstream media to encourage moral relativism, general stupidity, secularism, islamophobia, homosexuality, racism, attacks on or even invasions of other countries, and to disrupt peace, protect criminals and discourage understanding, justice, religion, health, truth, competition, growth and prosperity. A current example of the senselessness and unpopularity of the US foreign policy is an official expectation of peace with muslims, while supporting the Zionist state of Israel, or directly interfering in, invading and occupying their countries, and even killing people of both foreign and US citizenship with impunity using CIA-operated drones, of course in blatant violation of both International and US law, although the latter has been defended by the infamous US Minister of Injustice, Mr. Eric Holder, saying that the requirement for "due process" is satisfied by the executive branch of government weighing the evidence and having the President decide who to kill or not. Two examples of the anti-truth drive in the US government are the protection of people producing offensive propaganda films and the incarceration and pre-trial judgement of a US Army soldier accused of exposing war crimes in Iraq. A rational government imprisons war criminals, not those who expose them. Note: The scarce morality in the President's chart would have been even more obvious had it not been for the superior sankhya yoga: Dama yoga adds experience and at best a strong sense of justice and ethics. It always boosts the IQ, tact and diplomacy. In the chart for the US government there is no superior sankhya yoga and the lack of morality, truth and prosperity is thus even more glaring. The US is not keen on competition and tries its best to eliminate any competition as quickly as possible. Since it lacks experience as well as humility it usually fails - even if it did have experience it would still fail to defeat more religious people and countries, i.e. it would hardly defeat anyone. Domestically, big corporations and well-known banksters, such as Jamie Dimon and Robert Rubin, avoid competition through the corruption of the US Congress. In August 2012, a Gallup poll reported that Congress's approval rating among US citizens was at 10%, matching a 38 year low reached in November 2011. Both Mars and Venus are military planets. To be a high-ranking military of good repute both planets need to be strong. General David Petraeus, the current director of the CIA and formerly serving in the US army, has more than one star next to both of these planets in the Benevolence table. According to Wikipedia, he was the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1983. He served in Iraq, 2003-2008, and then as a Four Star General in Afghanistan, 2007-2011. In 2011 he was unanimously confirmed as the next Director of the CIA by the US Senate. Mars represent needs and promotes friendship, loyalty and marriage; Venus glows with capacity to father, disarm, listen and love. At its best, Mars protects the defenceless; Venus stands up for justice and spreads peace. Mars is vigilant and takes on conflict quickly; Venus employs patience or brute force. If a person does not have both, he or she will lose in battle, either right away or down the line. The overall integrity of the General's birth chart, assuming a noon birth, falls in the Blue category, but it should be noted that the Sun in Scorpio and Venus in Sagittarius are better fits for a woman than a man (he could probably make a better detective or spook than a military man). The time of birth is not known to me, but regardless of time, the chart integrity never falls below YellowGreen, unless the Moon was exactly cusped at around 19:00, in which case it could possibly fall into the Yellow. Even at that abysmal time, there are still two stars next to both Mars and Venus (the only insufficient planet is Mercury, the most malevolent and possibly malignant planet is Jupiter). The Sun and Saturn are very different planets, but they too have similarities. They both represent the top. The Sun manifests the visible, material and public top and Saturn the much harder to see spiritual and universal top. To be really at top you need both planets to be strong. The Sun reveals public dignity and ability to direct oneself and others, it comes with faith in oneself and others; Saturn is necessary for leadership and authority, to have the knowledge and awareness required and an interest in the welfare of society as a whole. A person with exclamation points next to one or both of these planets in the Malevolence table is unlikely to enjoy a low position for long. The governments of the UK and the US are perfect exponents of the innately anti-democratic tendencies of these planets when they are malignant. Stars next to both of these planets in the Benevolence table show true top potential. These people are the ones most likely to stand out in any group of men or women. Their top qualities are unquestionable. Similarities between Planets of the Same Elements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A final grouping of the planets is by element. The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are all material, subjective and emotion-oriented planets. Their complementary elements are Fire and Water, with one domicile sign belonging to the former and the other to the latter. They promote enthusiasm, sentimentality, passion and emotions of joy and sorrow. Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all abstract, objective and idea-oriented planets. Their complementary elements are Air and Earth. They promote speech, singing and listening, not just talk but lucid communication. When introverted they are capable of receiving sex, love and knowledge. To be a great singer Venus has to be strong and extroverted. The first group includes all the planets which lack strong verbal and listening skills. The second group includes all the planets which lack sentimentality, ecstasy and power. The two highest planets incline people to spirituality and universality and reveal capacity to either transcend the material illusion and enter samadhi or already dwell there. Saturn comes with Grace and full satisfaction. The first group of planets is necessary for empathy and intimacy, as well as for sympathetic thinking and emotional comforting in the here and now. The second is required for everlasting happiness, peace and detachment. While Fire and Water are infinitely close to each other, the latter is usually considered the most subjective. Of Earth and Air, the latter is the most objective and the former the most inert of all the elements. Fire and Air are both hot elements. They stir the cold elements into action. -- The strength of a planet of can compensate for the weakness of a planet of the same elements. Planets of higher evolutionary development are more able to compensate for those of lower For example, if Venus or Saturn have some benevolence, then benevolent Mercurial traits will not completely missing, even if Mercury itself appears to have no benevolent influence. The compensation is limited to the higher planet's essential dignity in the signs of the lower. In practice this means that a barely sufficiently benevolent Saturn gives a somewhat lacking reasoning ability but not insufficient degree, even if Mercury is extremely insufficient. The software may add in this compensation automatically in a future update. Note that the higher planet loses some of its benevolence as a result of standing in for the lower. The effect is negligible for planets of better than insufficient benevolence. Most notably a strong Sun can compensate for a weak Mars and Jupiter, and a strong Saturn can compensate for a weak Venus and Mercury. A strong Jupiter can also compensate for a weak Sun and a strong Mercury for a weak Saturn. Conversely, an extremely weak Sun can bring down Mars and especially Jupiter and an extremely weak Jupiter can bring down the Sun. 1. The compensation given from a planet is always limited to the giver's essential dignity in the signs of the receiver divided by the sum of all the giver's essential dignities in the signs of all its potential receivers (this sum equals 2 for all potential giver's). 2. It also never exceeds the receiver's innate influence (as set in the object settings dialog) divided by the sum of innate influences of both receiver and giver. 3. The primary limit is the weakness of the receiver, which is simply the difference of its ideal influence and its actual influence divided by the ideal influence. Only if this quotient is positive will the potential receiver become an actual receiver. The square of the quotient puts an absolute limit to its gift. 4. The relative dignity of the giver decides how much influence is transferred as dignified to the receiver. The square is used. Of the remaining influence a share equalling the second quotient squared is added to the receiver's disgraced influence. All the rest is lost. The same compensation as for dignified inlfuence can be carried out for disgraced influence, but substituting one minus dignity for the dignity. Since this post-processing can make the analysis harder to penetrate, it will be optional. -- Sexual Sides of the Planets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All planets rule or lord two signs, one odd and another even. There are significant differences between odd and even signs. Depending on the physical gender of a person, a planet is fully at home in one and only one of the two signs. For a man, the Sun is fully at home in Leo, the Moon in Cancer, Mars in Scorpio, Mercury in Virgo, Jupiter in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra and Saturn in Aquarius. For a woman the planets are fully at home in the signs complementing those for a man: Cancer, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Pisces, Taurus and Capricorn. Later on this text refers to the signs listed for a man as primary. The sexual leaning of a planet (e.g., Leo/Cancer) is called its polarity. In the software, a planet with a polarity not matching the physical gender of the person is said to be polarized. The degree of polarization in a chart can to some extent be gauged by looking at the "Polarized" diagnostic, but its value is often misleading, since it only considers polarity by sign and is totally independent of other factors in the chart. Unfortunately, neither the listing of final dispositors nor the underlying variables differentiate between odd and even polarity at this time. Since in most cases people have both polarities in significant amounts, this shortcoming usually makes little or no difference in practice. Nonetheless, polarity is still important in a lot of cases. For example, Venus in Libra defines the ideal father (smart, patient, attractive, confident, polite, cordial, just, loving and secure) and Venus in Taurus the ideal mother (cute, stable, genial, competent, tactful, social, ethical, lusting and happy). For gender identity and sexual preferences, polarity becomes all- important. Planets placed in their own signs have very clear gender identity, while other placements might be neutral. It is important to point out that a gender identity at odds with the physical body does not automatically make a person a homophile or transvestite, but it certainly increases the likelihood. Many, if not indeed the majority, of homosexuals have suffered sexual abuse as children or have other causes for arrested development. A minority may have no significant disorder - other than sexual or gender. Although the probability of having a chart whose analysis satisfies the signatures for some of the disorders mentioned in the following sections is great and most people probably do, I have so far never come across a chart for any homophile without a malignancy or an insufficiency of some sort. At least 99 percent also show some significant sexual bias opposite that of the physical body. In the rare cases where there is little or no malignancy, this sexual bias is even more clear. For homosexuality, my initial idea was that sexual bias could be the sole issue, but having learned a lot more in recent years I am now more inclined to sympathize with those who view it more negatively, seemingly, a majority in non-western and African countries. For a lot of people, homosexuality could be a mental illness. Quite a few homosexual men tend to believe that other men are homosexual as well. In those cases where this is mere wishful thinking it might be unimportant, but in the case of serious belief, this is an example of serious delusion or at the very least a very limited perception. The signature for so called homophobia is the same as for homosexuality, but usually with a slightly less pronounced sexual bias. The word homophobic is often misused in Western media for people who disapprove of homosexuality and view it as immoral or irreligious, a developmental disorder, a mental illness, an excuse for child abuse, a popular fad, or simply nothing to proud of, etc. Such people do not fit the signature, unless they have traits of homophobia as well. Although many or even a majority of the cases of homosexuality might be ascribed to sexual or other abuse in childhood and many other cases would not lead to adult homosexual relations without some encouragement from the environment and Western culture in particular, there are cases where none of these causes apply. Nonetheless, the Sun signs most common among faggots, Taurus and Libra, are also those inclined to mental illness or at least slower mental development. It might be worth noting that an excess number of males with the Sun in Taurus who are not practising homosexual relations are instead sexually harrassing uninterested women or engaging prostitutes. At the current time, the most well-known example of this behavior is the French socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It is harder to fully identify all gays, my preferred term for lesbian women, but in the clear majority of cases their gender bias is exactly opposite that of faggots, lacking any better or as well-established word for homosexual men. Taurus and Libra are the least common Sun signs among gays. On average, both gays and faggots score lower overall chart integrity than people in general, but there are great individual differences and the integrity score for a few charts can for the time being fall into the Green and even Blue categories. When polarization has been fully implemented, it will be impossible for a highly polarized chart to score in the Blue or any higher category. Most of the disorders described in the sections below require an even polarity or an introvert gender bias. This is especially true for autism, depression, addiction and narcissism. If there is an odd polarity or an extrovert gender bias, the signatures match quarrelsomeness, melancholy, insecureness and hardness. Psychopathy requires an extrovert gender bias. In general, planets placed in their primary signs indicate an extrovert and prominent life, and planets situated in their secondary signs point to an introvert and active life. For a malignant planet, an extrovert gender bias results in overt behaviors, while an introvert gender bias yields covert behaviors. Depending on the exact sign triggered, overt behavior can involve being opinionated and dictatorial, touchy and crude, irritable and provocative, pushful and indecent, restless and flirty, or odd and rash. Covert behaviors include xenophobia and violence, jealousy and vengeance, aggression and mocking, avoidance and stealing, lewdness and anger, quietness and perversion. Character Traits ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To judge the potential presence of an ideal character trait you look for benevolence of the planet associated with the trait and lack of malevolence associated with its opposite. For humility and thinking you would thus look for strength of Mars, highlighted by one or more stars if its benevolence is promising or better, and for little, or at least less, malevolence associated with Venus. For the presence of a character flaw you look for malevolence first and benevolence next. Doctors of Deception, Psychopathy and Mental Illness ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As an example of the above procedure, have a look at your favorite pseudo-psychiatrists, aka doctors of deception. The character trait they all have in common is mental retardation or mental illness, here defined as a significant lack of self-control and restraint, leading to unhinged or unbalanced behavior, neither calm nor fully present. Mental illness requires worldliness and is a precursor to physical disease. Mentally ill people are faithless, thoughtless, envious, weak, domineering or oppressive. They often suffer a lack of public dignity and can live their whole lives in denial, without sufficient regard for facts of life in general and facts about themselves in particular. They are as far from sharp thinkers as you can possibly get. Despite (or possibly thanks to) this severe shortcoming they rarely suffer any sense of inferiority but are instead more likely to view themselves as superior to other people. They maintain this unreal estimation of themselves also in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. As leaders of a country, they can voice the most outlandish and hilarious opinions on its greatness - no matter how small it is. If the country is racist and routinely involved in grave violations of human dignity and even war against civilians, they can present it as a beacon of democracy and progress. Severely mentally ill people are unsympathetic and frequently condescending or patronizing. Their lack of personal control and restraint can cause them to lose respect also within their own ranks. With an introvert gender bias, they can be fraudulent bullies. Regardless of gender bias, they are unlikely to genuinely consider the opinions of other people. They also lack fidelity, loyalty, sympathy, liberty, tech-savvy, attention, power, passion, ecstasy, religion and analytical skills. The analysis signature for mental illness starts with a malignant Venus and continues with a lacking or insufficiently benevolent Sun, which also reduces the benevolence of Mars, which itself must have less than sufficient benevolence. If Mars has extremely insufficient benevolence, it is enough that Venus has unsafe malevolence. For severe cases of mental illness, the benevolence of both the Sun and Mars must be clearly insufficient or the benevolence of one must be severely insufficient. For mentally ill people lacking self- assertion, the chart analysis should show insufficient balance for Mars. By design the automatic chart analysis is unlikely to yield a strong Sun, but doctors involved in pseudo-psychiatry easily beat the average person by consistently scoring insufficient benevolence for this planet. In plain English this means they are up to little or no good and have less than adequate capacity for empathy and authenticity in their dealings with other people. The insufficiency is worsened by the Sun's lack of dignity (less than 50%). At best an insufficient Sun points to mental retardation from birth, a poor family background, poverty in early childhood, or severe brain injuries and strokes later in life. If the Sun's dignity is greater than 50% (with an adequate margin), the lack of balance points to victimization very early in life, the victimization being a result of a poor sense of self, or possibly vice versa. In addition to the insufficient benevolence for the Sun and the below average dignity for this planet, all of these medical doctors have charts with a malevolent Venus, either directly malignant (shown by two or more exclamation points) or having unsafe malevolence (indicated by fewer than two dots) exceeding the mean benevolence of Mars and the Sun with a clear margin, in almost all cases greater than 100%. A malevolent Venus reveals weakness or stubbornness, or possibly both. The impoliteness and unfriendliness of a malevolent Venus also help increase the likelihood of infamy. By contrast, people critical of pseudo-psychiatry, and other forms of tyranny as well, are likely to have charts with a benevolent Sun and a benevolent Mars. Later on I will detail one especially infamous example of pseudo-psychiatry and then one contrasting and especially famous example of a critic, but first I will present signatures for a few more character traits that help describe pseudo-psychiatry and its practitioners in full. These traits can of course be found in the general population as well, but rarely to the same degree of malignancy and hopefully never with the same consistency. A great number of medical doctors dabbling in psychiatry are antisocial, some are genuine idiots, and others are best described as psychopaths. Individuals who are clearly beyond the reach of sanity and prescribe involuntary confinement without sunshine, various forms of torture, including electric shock or dangerous and proven unhealthy drug treatments, should have at least one of the inferior planets malignant. To be severely antisocial and thus have a severely deficient ethics and little or no compassion nor tact, the most malevolent inferior planet must be malignant and the benevolence of Venus (the planet of IQ, competence, charm, social skills, love, justice, saneness, heart and compassion) must be insufficient. The signature for idiocy, incompetence, delusions and killing is exactly the same: A malignant Mars and an insufficient Venus. Considering that more than a few medical doctors are more likely to kill the patient than save him, it should come as no surprise that many doctors of medicine match this signature. The introvert side of Mars, Scorpio, is the one associated with magic, voodoo, medicine, poison, death, power and ecstasy. When benevolent this side of Mars can become clean, intelligent and healing, but such perfection should not be expected from ordinary men and not even all women (the medical profession is tailored for a woman, as men are not born to be intelligent). When malevolent, Scorpio believes things which are so far from sane that they are clearly seen as insane by most men. These delusions are more often than not dangerous to the health of others. Scorpio is the most timid of all the Zodiac signs and when frightened she can act automatically, extremely quickly and without ruth. Scorpio rarely gives necessary consideration to the validity of the premises on which she bases her judgement, and she never fully understands the consequences of her actions. Even under the best of circumstances, this is the sign most capable of throwing out the child with the bath water. At her worst, Scorpio reveals pride, hatefulness and injustice. For even more extreme behavior you have to turn to Cancer, the sign of panic attacks and extreme violence a la the United States. When it comes to hypocrisy and all things crazy you cannot beat Cancer. Her violence is so extreme and bigoted that even Scorpio calls for restraint. The main flaw of Cancer is her lack of knowledge and she appears naively disinterested in doing much about it, preferring business over invention. The least antisocial of the three directly violent signs of the Zodiac is Virgo, the sign of murderers, i.e. people only taking the lives of others when there is wealth to be gained or sexual satisfaction to be had. Virgo is by far the most aggressive sign and her ego is as big as she is small. She most often resorts to verbal aggression and sarcasm to boost her fragile ego, but she frequently goes a lot further than that. Virgo is an extreme repeat offender and a precise follower. She likes things to be modern and everyone to conform. After having read this far it ought not come as a surprise to see the sign of Virgo associated with madness. Sweden, a Virgo country, has the most number of rapes and murders per capita in the EU. It also has the greatest number of medical doctors. Far from all Virgos are as extreme as Sweden, but for a man a Virgo Sun can almost always lead to weird behavior, this even when equipped with a lot more talent and confidence than most. Michael Jackson and Charlie Sheen are perhaps good examples. Most Virgos, but maybe especially females, tend to appear slightly undernourished. Cancer is the first and typical sign of arrogance, but Scorpio, with her multitude of prejudices, wicked tongue and extreme jealousy, and Virgo, in her mocking and most aggressive mode, are not far behind. Fortunately, these are all superficial signs, and not even their arrogance is more than skindeep. Note that the Sun in Cancer is a benevolent indication, especially for a woman, and boosts a person's perception, empathy and intuition. It is also an indication of productivity, domestic skills and beauty. The Sun in Scorpio is highly dignified and a very powerful antidote to mental illness and thus also pseudo-psychiatry. Scorpio is the sign of intelligent research and religion, while the sign opposite, Taurus, has a tendency for bullshit and fraud. The near perfect placement of the Sun in Scorpio is not quite there, and unlike Taurus, it can expose idiocy from time to time. While I at first expected to see a lot more psychopathy in the charts of pseudo-psychiatrists, there are still quite a few charts showing genuine soul pathology. Psychopathic people are unable to understand right from wrong and incapable of experiencing the human emotions of joy and sorrow. Emotionally as well as academically, they progress slowly or not at all. Since they lack any sense of morality they cannot maintain relations with ordinary people. Psychopaths tend to be social outcasts and quite a few end up in prison, but in some societies, more tolerant of psychopathy, they run "too-big-to-fail" banks or other sociopathic institutions. Psychopaths are supposed to be more common in legislatures, in business and in the medical world than in the society as a whole. Ironically, while the pseudo-psychiatrists have invented more than a hundred pseudo-psychiatric diagnoses in the last century, they still do not include psychopathy among them. Instead it is a Canadian psychologist called Robert Hare who has pioneered its use. The word psychopathy literally means soul disease (psyche = soul, pathos = disease). Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of the psyche and thus a weak Jupiter reveals a weak psyche. For severe psychopathy, Jupiter has to have insufficient benevolence and the opposite planet, Mercury, has to be malignant, or alternatively Jupiter has to be severely insufficient. For a plain lack of conscience, a clearly insufficient Jupiter is enough. Note that so long as the Sun has sufficient benevolence and the benevolence of Jupiter is not extremely insufficient, there is enough hope for even the most limited, or least perfect, conscience to grow and mature. The analysis signature for less severe psychopathy (having greater intellectual capacity than the one described above) has an ominous or worse Mercury whose malevolence clearly exceeds the benevolence of Jupiter (unless Jupiter has less than sufficient balance, Mercury's malevolence should exceed Jupiter's benevolence by a factor two or greater). The Sun's benevolence must be insufficient, if Jupiter's is not. This signature incorporates psychopaths who do well academically, thanks to a stronger than usual Jupiter, but who nevertheless become rapists or murderers for the sake of a playful or "scientific" idea or excitement alone. A few practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry are psychotic. The analysis signature for psychosis is similar to that for mental illness, but substituting Venus for Jupiter and Mercury for Mars. Psychotic individuals are dishonest, evasive and irreligious. They are more subjective than average and frequently disregard facts. They have tendency to flee reality and seek fantasy. Psychotic people lack manners. They rarely feel inferior to anyone. Instead they are more likely to maintain a false sense of superiority. They are never any good with details and they usually avoid science and religion - at least the part about submitting to reality and God. They can be generous and money is likely to run away from them, more often than not it did not belong to them in the first place. Psychotic people who are not psychopathic easily become emotional. A chart analysis supporting psychosis must show unsafe malevolence for Jupiter exceeding the benevolence of Mars and Mercury or the mean benevolence of Mercury and the Sun. People whose charts match the signature and have insufficient balance for Mercury and/or Mars are likely to see no evil, hear no evil, and thus facilitate evil. These people are inclined to miss, deny, excuse, or postpone any confrontation with evil. A psychotic medical doctor avoids open and reasonable scientific testing of his or her methods and disregard scientific findings against their efficacy. The most psychotic practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry diagnose people they do not know and do not care to know or are simply unable to know. Needless to say, these individuals are a lot more psychotic than the average person. For them, Jupiter must be severely malignant and all of the inferior planets must show clearly insufficient benevolence, at least one of which must show severe insufficiency. If both Venus and Jupiter show severe malignancy, it is enough that none of the inferior planets have promising or better benevolence. The inferior planets have attributes counteracting psychosis. Science (Mercury), religion (Mars) and lawfulness (the Sun) are reasonable, powerful and balanced antidotes. If either the Sun, Mars or Mercury has extremely insufficient benevolence, and especially if one of them has extremely insufficient balance as well, it is enough that Jupiter is malignant for a severe and pervasive psychosis to take hold. If Jupiter is the Sankhya Yoga ruler or the atmakaraka, the psychosis can be persistent over time and span a whole life. An individual whose chart matches one of the above signatures as well as one for severely deficient ethics or severe psychopathy can potentially commit the most gross violations against human dignity possible. Most so called professionals who have followed in the footsteps of one such individual are now said to be ashamed and recall the treatment as inhumane and unscientific. Fortunately, the pseudo-psychiatrist responsible for developing the terrifying and dangerous abuse, euphemistically called insulin shock therapy, died of an heart attack in 1957. The chart analysis shows extremely insufficient benevolence and balance for Mars. The medical doctor responsible for so called electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) also fits the above signature combination. In addition, Jupiter is both the Sankhya Yoga ruler and the atmakaraka. Mercury shows extremely insufficient benevolence and balance. Although Venus has sufficient benevolence, Mars is extremely malignant. The chronically psychotic and quite insane doctor died in 1963. In both of these cases the Sun has insufficient benevolence. The prime example of pseudo-psychiatry is arguably one of the founders of the World Psychiatric Association and its first formal president, a Scottish emigrant by the name of Donald Ewen Cameron. The analysis result for his chart fits the signature for very severe psychopathy. Mercury is severely or extremely malignant and Jupiter has severely or extremely insufficient benevolence. Like people in general, psychopaths are most likely to see themselves when looking at other people. In psychology, this tendency is called projection. Since we know ourselves better than we know everyone else, projection is the only possible starting point when guessing and gauging the character and personality of other people. These quotes from Wikipedia seems to confirm the validity of projection also for this infamous medical doctor: "...although society had established sanctions against the spread of infectious diseases, he wanted to extend the concept of contagion to chronic anxiety that had plagued society. He warned that people with mental illnesses, who had not been quarantined, could spread and transmit their disease to portions of the populations. ... In the late 1940s, Cameron presented his ideas in a lecture entitled, Dangerous Men and Women. In it he described various personalities that he believed were of marked danger to society. The individuals he described were dangerous to all members of society including children." This is perhaps the most egregious example of a pseudo- psychiatrist gone spectacularly wrong. Throughout his career he never showed a single sign of conscience or a shred sanity in any form. In his work for the CIA he tortured numerous patients causing some to become comatose. Cameron is best known for his notorious behavior modification research within the MK-ULTRA project. His experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered his practice for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and postpartum depression, many of whom suffered permanent debilitation as a result of his actions. In addition to LSD, Cameron also experimented with various paralytic drugs, as well as ECT at thirty to forty times the normal power. His treatments resulted in victims suffering incontinence and amnesia, forgetting how to talk, not remembering their parents, and thinking their interrogators were their parents. The chart analysis result matches all the signatures defined earlier: the mentally ill, the antisocial, the psychopathic and the psychotic. It is also a perfect match for very severe narcissistic personality disorder (its signature can be found in a later section on narcissism). His chart most closely matches that for a psychopath, revealing an extremely malignant Mercury. The worst fitting match is for psychosis, with Jupiter "only" showing unsafe or ominous malevolence exceeding the mean benevolence of Mercury and the Sun at least 25 times. The overall chart integrity falls in the Dark Red category, indicating well below average IQ. Cameron was born with the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Gemini, a neurotic and chronically anxious combination with narcissistic personality traits. Both the Sun in Capricorn and the quincunx Moon in Gemini reduce empathy, and the Moon also shows positive traits of psychopathy of the first degree: Cleverness and facile use of words, teasing and provocation if not outright meanness, constant need for excitement and stimulation, experimentation, caprice, narrowness, scientificness, torture, lying, dislike for emotion and morality, and discontent. Complete psychopathy also requires the negative traits stemming from an insufficiently benevolent Jupiter. Most of these traits have been identified earlier in this section, but the minus list of keywords for Jupiter might provide a few more. Incidentally, Dr Cameron shares his Sun and Moon with the world's worst known serial killer, another medical doctor, called Harold Shipman. One hallmark trait of psychopathy is irrationality and the associated inability to learn from past mistakes. Psychopaths may have superficial charm and they are nearly always highly sexed, but their emotions are undeveloped, weak or nonexistent. Their very limited people skills and severe lack of morality and conscience turn a lot of people against them and they often become targets of bullying. Psychopaths are very much like life-long teenagers, but with few (if any) of their good qualities. At their worst they are anti-competitive and anti-moral, delighting in experimentation and provocation. They are very open to change but less interested in listening to sense or learning things from other people, especially if these people understand more than they do. Although, as already noted above, a great many pseudo-psychiatrists incorporate traits of psychopathy, by far the most common trait among them is "mental illness". Mentally ill people have a lot in common with psychotics, but the former are less emotional and even more distant. Psychotics and psychopaths are in many ways each other's opposites. While psychopaths are bold and open, psychotic people are anything but. They disregard facts and avoid all genuine communication. This does not mean they are shy or predominantly silent, but rather that they like to open their mouths more than their ears. They often give the impression of believing they are right even when it is obvious they are wrong (bring up facts and they retreat to fantasy). Severely mentally ill people lack humility, an important prerequisite for learning new things and building and developing one's character and abilities. The analysis signature for severe mental illness, the degree most common among pseudo-psychiatrists, has a malignant Venus whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Mars by a factor of three or greater. In the most severe cases of mental illness, this factor exceeds six. With enough Taurus polarity, they can be lewd and domineering fraudsters. With an emphasis on Libra, they can be adulterous and temperamental oppressors. Mentally ill people whose Mercury is insufficient are unwilling to engage in open communication. Unlike sane psychiatrists, pseudo-psychiatrists can be jealous, wicked and insane (the antisocial), carry out risky and senseless experiments without a trace of conscience (the psychopaths), avoid practical and sensible verification of their fanciful notions and fantasies (the psychotics), or spend most of their time asleep in a dreamworld successfully avoiding to think a single sympathetic thought (the mentally ill). With a malignant Venus, the last group can be the people who bully the psychopaths (and other people too if given a chance). Mentally ill people are in many cases better educated and smarter than average, but their thinking is always sleepy or unsharp. Superior disgrace should exceed integrity by a fair margin. Chart integrity should fall into the YellowGreen or a lower category. Psychotic people have above average academic capacity, but their reasoning is always obscure. Chart integrity should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. Just like for the mentally ill, superior disgrace should exceed integrity by a fair margin. Psychopaths can be clever communicators, but their IQ, intellectual and academic capacity is usually below average. Chart integrity should fall into the Orange or a lower category. Inferior disgrace should exceed 16 percent and in case of severe psychopathy also the integrity by a fair margin. Only violent and hypocritical alcoholics, diabolic rulers, depressed people, genuine idiots and total morons should score lower chart integrity than psychopaths. As a final note on psychpathy: It appears that psychopaths, at least those whose charts include the Sun in Gemini, are more likely to be homophiles (i.e. faggots and gays) compared to the average person. If this reflects an intrinsic quality of psychopathy or if it is merely a result of psychopaths being more open with their sexuality I do not know. It is possible to be both psychopathic and psychotic, but since many of the traits are mutually exclusive a combination would result in a split personality, and the contradictory traits would have to show forth at different times. If there is an emphasis on Gemini or Sagittarius, there can be extreme intolerance of other people. Note that people diagnosed with the most controversial and often abused pseudo-psychiatric diagnosis, Schizophrenia, are in most cases emotionally developed. Quite a few people with this diagnosis are neither psychopathic nor psychotic, at least not more than the average person and some even less so. Please see the end of this section for more information on this notoriously misused diagnosis. The most thoughtless and the least intelligent, and also the most domineering and oppressive pseudo-psychiatrists, always have at least one of the following indicators situated in Taurus or Libra: Ketu, the Sun, the semi-sextile Moon, the trine Moon, or Mars. Most likely, Venus as the atmakaraka yields similar results. These easy to spot markers represent the strongest indications for mental retardation or illness, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as more subjective conditions, such as bipolar disorder, lacking control and being unhinged. Without mitigating indications, people with Mars, or to some extent also the trine Moon, in Taurus can accurately be described as thoughtless tyrants and cowards. On average, pseudo-psychiatrists have more than one of these markers in their charts. The extremely few who do not have any of these indications have Jupiter as the atmakaraka and other markers increasing the likelihood for psychosis, including the Sun or Mercury in Pisces or Sagittarius, as well as the only fanciful sankhya yoga: Pasa Yoga. Psychotic people are usually more mutable, but when opposed a Piscean individual can become just as stubborn as a Taurean. Narcissism is also common among pseudo-psychiatrists. The worst practitioners have charts with three or more malignant planets, of which at least one is inferior and another superior. The malevolence of Venus exceeds the benevolence of Mars, or the mean benevolence of all the inferior planets, by a factor three or more. One of the superior planets should carry malevolent influence exceeding the benevolence of its inferior counterpart, or the mean benevolence mentioned earlier, by a factor of at least four. The Sun cannot carry sufficient benevolence exceeding the malevolence of Saturn and the mean malevolence of the superior planets. The Sun should never show promising benevolence, but if it would happen in a rare case, Saturn must be unsafe or Venus carry extremely malignant influence. For the most extreme, both the Sun and one of Mars or Mercury must have insufficient benevolence, none can be sufficiently benevolent. No pseudo-psychiatrist of any kind can have chart integrity in the Green or a higher category. Those pseudo-psychiatrists who have some significant talent, knowledge or are successful in the sense of focus, education and international recognition should have a strong Saturn of sufficient benevolence. As promised earlier, I will give one example contrasting that of Donald Cameron's. Borrowing from Wikipedia: Thomas Szays is a psychiatrist and academic. Since 1990 he has been Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York. He is a well-known social critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, and of the social control aims of medicine in modern society, as well as of scientism. He is probably the most famous inside critic of what I call pseudo-psychiatry, a form of medical practice that conflicts with his principles that each person has the right to bodily and mental self-ownership and the right to be free from violence from others. His chart reveals a benevolent Sun of more than sufficient benevolence. Its dignity exceeds 50% by a great margin and is thus classified as good. His Venus is less malevolent than usual among pseudo-psychiatrists. In addition, his Mars has sufficient benevolence and is stronger than usual in the general population. If both the Sun and Mars carry sufficient benevolence, there is little opportunity for any pervasive and general psychosis of the kind associated with pseudo-psychiatry to establish itself. There is also enough empathy with and sympathy for other people to avoid any severe mental illness. For the sake of completeness, I will add that also the chart for Dr Szays has one of the markers for mental illness (Ketu in Taurus) and two for psychosis (Mercury in Pisces and Pasa yoga). An insufficient Saturn and a malignant Jupiter support his humanism (in 1973, the American Humanist Association named him Humanist of the Year). Extremely insufficient balance for Saturn shows a lack of greatness, thoroughness, grace, strength and general knowledge. Personally, I do not believe that anyone who takes up modern medical psychiatry, a genuine pseudo- science, can be as mentally safe and sound as most people. It might be better to let school teachers discover and encourage people with talent for psychiatry than to let individuals choose this advanced branch of human understanding for a profession because they have a psychiatric disorder. Being a medical doctor could be one of the least suitable backgrounds for a psychiatrist. Judges and priests would probably make better psychiatrists. Schizophrenia has historically been the most popular pseudo- psychiatric diagnosis. It is a notoriously unreliable diagnosis when diagnosed by pseudo-psychiatrists. The case of Anders Behring Breivik is just one of the more recent examples of this, with the first two doctors asserting he had Schizophrenia, and two others, in my opinion much more lucid, coming to the conclusion he had a narcissistic personality disorder with sadistic traits. Studies before the Breivik case show the diagnosis is about as reliable and meaningful as tossing a coin. Most diagnoses of Schizophrenia target victims of crime. Usually you can find an incompetent mother with autistic traits or a powerful pride/jealousy and an inability to be happy without the submission of other family members. In some cases there is a psychopathic father. Studies also show that the prospects of people diagnosed and treated in the West (using drugs, insulin shocks, ECT or surgery) range from bad to worse, while those more fortunate souls diagnosed in the East and treated by a change of environment, completely eliminating the mother or other designated caregiver, recover from their symptoms of distress fairly quickly. All things considered, this does not mean there are no psychotic or schizophrenic people around (as mentioned above, quite a few pseudo-psychiatrists are suffering from psychosis or, at the very least, a lack of reason). The analysis signature for Schizophrenia, which also fits the majority of the cases listed on Wikipedia, includes a malignant Jupiter and an insufficient Mercury, thus replacing reason [Gemini] and fact [Virgo] with silliness [Sagittarius] and fantasy [Pisces]. The Zodiac sign most suitable for literal Schizophrenia (a suffering, evasive, solemn, limitless, psychotic, drugged or drunken, split personality) is Pisces, the two fish swimming in opposite directions. For people suffering from psychosis over a longer period of time, i.e. more than a few months, the signature also requires chart integrity below the Green category. In at least 95 percent of cases the chart integrity should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. Some individuals who are diagnosed with Schizophrenia are more mentally ill than psychotic, as evidenced by an insufficient Mars and/or Sun and a malignant or ominous Venus (these people are more likely to have the Sun in a superior sign than an inferior). Pisces is the sign of psychosis, disregarding facts, approving of oneself despite criticism from others, and retreating completely into fantasy land. Schizophrenia, like the majority of pseudo-psychiatric diagnoses, is vaguely defined. While most diagnoses emphasize psychosis, others include extreme visual hallucinations. Pisces being a non- sensory sign should not suffer from hallucinations. The most well- known case of diagnosed Schizophrenia and visual hallucinations is probably that of John Forbes Nash. His chart features the Sun and Venus in Gemini, as well as Pasa yoga reenforced by Saturn in Sagittarius. The analysis shows an extremely malignant Mercury, the sensory planet. Also his Jupiter is extremely malignant. In a few cases hallucinations is the sole basis for the diagnosis. In these rare cases the primary signature fails and only Mercury is malignant. Note: Pseudo-psychiatry is the use of medicine, torture, mental and physical abuse in the treatment of fictional diseases with no scientific, factual or objective basis. Pseudo-psychiatrists frequently diagnose people who show healthy or natural and easily understandable reactions to sick treatment and are apparently either mentally impaired or psychotic enough not to realize what they are doing. Practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry have deficient empathy and can in collusion with clueless or crazy, sometimes corrupt, governments prescribe involuntary treatment. This fact alone is enough to clearly distinguish pseudo-psychiatry from the practice of regular medicine. The domineering behavior of most pseudo-psychiatrists are harmful enough, but their treatments are even worse, often leading to drastically reduced life expectancies. Materialistically biased, fanciful, harmful and historically often mythological and politically motivated diagnoses (Schizophrenia, Hysteria and Drapetomania) by mentally challenged practitioners set this modern corruption apart from original psychiatry, promoting health and longevity. The worst feature of pseudo-psychiatry is involuntary hospitalization, in itself a rights violation. Already in the 70s, pseudo-psychiatrists were made aware they were the sick and not the others, but there are still aged quacks who have yet to realize how grave their condition really is. Although archaic diagnoses such as Drapetomania and Hysteria are long gone and the frequently abused Schizophrenia is at least set to be partially phased out, there are newer and almost countless diagnoses filling their places, including ADHD and borderline personality disorder. The first of these has strong backing from big pharmaceutical companies and their peddling of amphetamines to school children and incarcerated adults. The good thing about pseudo-psychiatric diseases, clearly setting them apart from the ordinary, is that a simple decision can make them disappear. It is an amazing sight, but it has already been seen more than once in the short history of this pseudo-science, so you should not be surprised if ADHD is completely gone by the middle of this century. However, given the amount of people making a lot of money from the practice of pseudo- psychiatry, the number of diagnoses are more likely to increase over time. The lack of empathy, sympathy and analytical skills among too many of its practitioners and the number of lives ruined (also amphetamines have damaging long-term effects on health and well-being) in its course make it necessary for every man and woman of conscience to do something to put an end to pseudo-psychiatry once and for all. Thomas Szays: "We should all honor CCHR because it is really the organization that for the first time in human history has organized a politically, socially, internationally significant voice to combat psychiatry. This has never been done in human history before." CCHR: Citizens Commission on Human Rights. True and False Prophets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ False prophets share many similarities with pseudo-psychiatrists. While faithful and religious prophets have sufficient balance and at least better than insufficient benevolence for the Sun (faith) and Mars (religion), false, worldly or outright fraudulent and depraved prophets have extremely insufficient benevolence for at least one of these planets or insufficient benevolence for both. For a really depraved priest, 'guru' or 'messiah' Saturn must be malignant. For a complete fraud Venus must be malignant. For a deceitful preacher a malignant Jupiter is enough. To be a true prophet both the Sun (personal authenticity) and Jupiter (general truthfulness) have to be benevolent. If only the latter is benevolent, there can be true preaching but a lack of authenticity in personal matters or private deeds at odds with the words preached in public. A benevolent Mars is necessary for divine protection and to have a drive for perfection. Factual precision, formal communication and common decency requires a good or at least sufficiently benevolent Mercury. For a highly evolved, loving and understanding transcendentalist Venus must be benevolent. Wise masters and spiritual seekers must have a benevolent Saturn, indicating people who are born wise or spiritual. If Mars is benevolent but Saturn (wisdom and detachment) is deficient, it is possible to be born intelligent and religious but unwise and materialistic. A benevolent Jupiter will guide the native right, but practical and spiritual knowledge will only come after bad experiences, usually due to even worse actions on the native's own part. Learning, Schooling and Education ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All six planets reveal different kinds of education. Together they give a general sense of the edification, learning and literacy that can be expected during the best of circumstances. Ideal influence for the Sun points to ideal development during the earliest childhood and is necessary for the most basic education, including empathy. Mars takes up where the Sun leaves off and develops the ability to think and analyze. A good balance for Mars reveals proficiency in arts and technology. A benevolent Mars promotes sympathy and respect for other people. Mercury comes right after Mars and represents formal schooling or education up to and including adolescence. If Mercury is weak there may be few or no formal degrees or certificates. A benevolent Mercury shows idealism or a sense of duty and helpfulness. Higher learning, academic and emotional education requires sufficient benevolence for Jupiter. A profound psyche, broad mind, fully developed logic, synthesis and moral sense necessitate an ideal Jupiter. If this planet is weak or insufficient, there is also a weak or insufficient sense of humor. In extreme cases a deficient person may be completely unable to see the humorous side of things. Without a strong Jupiter there can be no prophetic vision. To get the Truth of more than trivial matters, Jupiter has to be sufficiently balanced. To be a leader and to compete academically, athletically and in general, Jupiter has to be good or better (at least if the person is going to win in international competition against more than sufficiently endowed competitors). Note: Neptune may need to be enabled to see the full intellectual and competitive capacity. Character traits commonly associated with higher and avant-garde education follow Venus. Social skills, cordiality, smartness, human understanding, sense of justice and diplomacy, physical strength and ability to fight and make peace, as well as culinary and musical appreciation all depend on a strong and benevolent Venus. Male potency and female fertility also belong to this planet. Saturn is the ultimate planet for all matters educational. A severely insufficient Saturn and a severely malignant Sun shows potential for severe dyslexia. A benevolent Saturn indicates divine Grace and authority. With a strong enough Father of Time the native is equipped with practical, spiritual and universal education, usually accompanied by rare talent. A chart indicating fully virtuous, steadfast, skillful and wise leadership should yield four stars next to Saturn. Note: Uranus may need to be enabled to see the totality of anyone's awareness, knowledge, authority and influence on society. For dyslexia and other short-comings of communication the most important planets to look at are the objective, starting with Saturn and ending with Mercury. For dyscalculia the same planets are key, but likely in the reverse order of importance. For autism, i.e. personality traits usually and primarily associated with a severe lack of sensitivity, understanding and contextual awareness, Venus should have insufficent benevolence. In cases of genuine autism, aligned with the original sense of the word, there is automatic action, compulsion, silentness, impatience and jealousy. Really severe cases of genuine autism exposes a wicked tongue or quick, ruthless and often alarmingly violent action with frequently lethal results. In these cases the benevolence of Venus must be clearly overcome by the malevolence of Mars or in some cases the mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury. Most typically there is a severely or extremely malignant Mars. For verbal (non-silent), or high-functioning, autism and Asperger, primarily characterized by repetitive behavior, lack of emotion, and failure to develop social abilities and language to a usual level, it is enough to have a Mercury whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Jupiter and/or Venus by a factor two or more. This kind of autism often includes inconsiderate and even cruel behavior towards other people. If this is the case, Mercury should be malignant. For a severe lack of language, Jupiter should be clearly insufficient. In cases of truly exceptional intelligence and expert skills, Mercury should have at least promising balance, sufficient benevolence, and significant Virgo polarity. For good memory, a good balance is enough. In at least one fourth of the cases of diagnosed autism and Asperger listed on Wikipedia, Venus shows extremely insufficient benevolence and in a majority of the cases Venus is clearly insufficient. In one case of very late Asperger diagnosis for an English actor, filmmaker, screenwriter and musician, the above signature fails. The actor was diagnosed in 2010, aged 36. The result of the automatic chart analysis points to mental disability and possible mental illness, but slightly above average integrity. According to Wikipedia, he stated in a candid interview with The Telegraph that he suffered from "a debilitating sense of detachment". This is consistent with being a victim of crime or other abuse - not autism and probably not Asperger either, although the criteria for the latter diagnosis are less clear and share many similarities with narcissism (lack of empathy, social awkwardness, and physical clumsiness). The analysis shows extremely insufficient benevolence for the Sun and a severely malignant Saturn. The only hint of autism is the Sun in Virgo; on its own this solar placement can only give rise to mild high-functioning autism, perhaps better and more directly called stupidity (in its most formal sense). It should be noted that the Sun in Virgo is less of an impediment for a woman than a man, and of course far from all men with the Sun in Virgo have severe issues with it. Mild and benign verbal autism is anti-psychotic (the influence and in particular the benevolence of Mercury mitigates any malevolence of Jupiter). Preliminary testing points to autistic traits (not fully satisfying the signature for ASD) being common among people active in professional sport. The same traits are also more common among physicians, especially in places conducive to autism in the general population, such as Sweden. Needless to say, far from all physicians possess autistic traits, and pseudo-psychiatrists are more likely to be psychotic than autistic, while a few, hopefully rare, individuals are both. Dyslexia can be ruled out if Saturn is sufficiently benevolent, no inferior planet is severely malignant and the Sun shows no more than ominous malevolence. Genuine autism can be ruled out using the same condition but substituting Mars for the Sun. Autism of any kind and degree can be ruled out if Venus shows good or better benvolence and neither Mars nor Mercury is extremely malignant. For lack of concentration, reduced interest in routine tasks, and inability to keep a schedule, Mercury should be insufficient or the malevolence of Jupiter should exceed the benevolence of Mercury by a factor two or more. For lack of attention, problems with thinking straight and poor analytical skills, Mars should be insufficient or the malevolence of Venus should exceed the benevolence of Mars by a factor two or greater. An insufficient balance for Saturn exacerbates these conditions. while a benevolent Sun can go a long way to mitigate, depending on its benevolence and the severity of the insufficiency mentioned earlier. Depression (MDD), Addiction (APD) and Severe Mood Swings (BD) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A basic analysis signature for the common inferiority disorder known as depression is at this stage similar to that for autism and other inferiority disorders. For all inferiority disorders you first look for exclamation marks next to the inferior planets in the Malevolence table. For any major depression there must be severely malignant influence associated with at least one of the inferior planets or two with clearly malignant influence. While the signature for genuine autism emphasizes a malignant Mars and an insufficient Venus, the signature for genuine depression emphasizes a malignant Sun and an insufficient Saturn. However, also Jupiter, the planet of Joy, is consistently insufficient for people dealing with major depression. Generally insufficient influence for a planet is indicated by minus signs in the Balance table. A lack of benevolent influence is shown in the Benevolence table. For a severe major depression where a person experiences a general lack of joy and purpose in life, the Balance table must show severely insufficient influence for Jupiter. For less severe cases of major depression, it is enough that Saturn shows severely insufficient balance. For extreme depressions with suicidal thoughts, both Saturn and Jupiter must show clearly insufficient benevolence. For minor and sporadic depressions, it is enough that one of the inferior planets shows unsafe malevolence clearly exceeding the benevolence of Jupiter. In most cases of diagnosed major depression at least one of the inferior planets carries severely malignant influence. The signature for really severe addiction is similar to that for depression. At this stage it is almost identical to that for autism and OCD and consists of the malevolence of Mars or the mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury exceeding the benevolence of Venus by a multiple of two or more. If the multiple is less than three, then one of the three inferior planets must be severely malignant. For less severe addiction or plain overconsumption, it is enough to have an unsafe Mars whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Venus. For substance abuse (especially alcohol and food) it is enough to have an ominous or malignant Sun. For sex addiction where excitement drives the behavior Mercury must be unsafe. If it is not malignant, then its malevolence must exceed or nearly match the benevolence of Jupiter, and Mars or the Sun must have malevolence clearly exceeding the benevolence of both Venus and Saturn, or Mercury must have clearly excessive balance. The primary signature for antisocial personality disorder builds on the one for addiction and adds less than sufficient benevolence for Jupiter or benevolence less than half the malevolence of Mars or the mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury, as well as chart integrity within the Orange or a lower category. This disorder shows a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Its natives engage in unnecessary conflicts and are often fascinated by power and death. As children, some natives are cruel to animals and may even enjoy the feeling they get from taking their lives. Without early intervention, they may start to kill people as adults. A secondary analysis signature emphasizes immorality. This signature only requires an unsafe Sun or Mars and a severely malignant Mercury whose malevolence clearly exceeds the benevolence of the most benevolent superior planet. The Sun cannot have sufficient benevolence. A malignant Saturn can trigger, worsen and enlarge the scope of an antisocial personality disorder. In extremely rare cases of extremely violent behavior, none of the inferior planets reach malignancy but at least one shows clearly unsafe malevolence, i.e. no dots. In these cases the malevolence of Saturn must clearly exceed the benevolence of the Sun and the chart integrity must fall into the YellowGreen or a lower category. In addition, one of the other inferior planets must show clearly unsafe malevolence when the outer planets (Uranus and Neptune) are enabled. Serial killers who do not fully satisfy the description for antisocial personality disorder, lacking a pervasive pattern of antisocial behavior, can have a good Jupiter. If this is the case, the automatic chart analysis should show extremely insufficient benevolence for the Sun or an extremely malignant Mercury and a less than promising Sun. Chart integrity should fall below the YellowGreen category. Unless the Sun shows extremely insufficient benevolence, no serial killer of any kind should have a promising or better Saturn. As far as I know, there are no charts for serial killers which show a good Saturn. A serial rapist could possibly have a good Saturn, in such a case Mercury should be at least severely malignant or the mean malevolence of the two most malevolent inferior planets must reach malignancy. Additionally, at least one of the inferior planets should have severely insufficient benevolence. No serial killer should score Green or higher integrity. The integrity scores for all prolific serial killers should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. At least 97 percent of all serial killers should belong to this group. Extremely prolific serial killers or serial rapists with more than one hundred victims should all score in the Red or DR categories. The same applies to psychopathic serial torturers and war criminals who condone the use of torture. The most prolific serial killers, the worst war criminals, and the most prolific violent offenders and most incompetent people of all kinds, should all score in the DR category and have integrity less than one fifth of inferior disgrace. For severe mood swings and so called bipolar disorder, the key analysis signature includes insufficient benevolence for the Sun. In most cases of diagnosed bipolar disorder there are positive indications for depression as well, but there are a few cases where the superior planets do not support major depression, showing sufficient benevolence. In those cases the Sun shows insufficient benevolence. Sometimes an extremely insufficient Mars reenforces the deficiency of the Sun. In most cases Jupiter shows insufficient benevolence as well. In rare cases, the benevolence of the Sun shows up as lacking but not insufficient. In these cases the benevolence of Jupiter is severely insufficient or the analysis result fits the signature for atypical major depression, i.e. severely malignant inferior planets coupled with a severely insufficient Saturn, but with an amply benevolent Jupiter. Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Narcissism describes personality traits exactly opposite those of depression and addiction. Narcissists tend to be hypersocial, sober and successful, but they lack empathy and faith, especially in other people. They are victims of exceedingly harsh childhoods and sense pressure to succeed in life. They seek recognition from society in part to receive some of the respect and appreciation they were deprived of early in life. They know what they have to do to accomplish themselves and they remain focused all the way to the top. The analysis signature for plain narcissism includes an unsafe Saturn. When the malevolence of Saturn exceeds the benevolence of the Sun there is the beginning of a major disorder. When the Sun is insufficient and Saturn is ominous or worse there can be a severe disorder. These people can be extremely destructive. Their impact is most evident on the people closest to them, but eventually their public image suffers as well. Narcissistic people are less likely to become depressed, alcoholics or have suicidal thoughts, but they can easily give an inane or gloomy impression and they rarely enjoy a party. Usually they have suffered material, mental and sexual abuse as children. In personal relations they tend to be unfaithful and in public they are less than authentic. Unlike madmen and psychopaths, narcissists do not harm other people with intent but rather through lack of civility, empathy and care. The analysis signature for severe cases of narcissism and so called narcissistic personality disorder has both a malignant Saturn and a Sun of insufficient benevolence. People whose chart analyses match this signature can be extremely rigid, egocentric, cowardly, depraved and at times abusive towards people of smaller stature or greater humility than their own. Narcissists of this kind have excessive estimation of or admiration for themselves, especially in relation to education, career and standing in society. Classical or aesthetical narcissism, primarily characterized by a preoccupation with physical features, sexual attraction and gratification, only requires a malignant Venus and a less than good Mars. All kinds of narcissism, but especially the latter, lack humility. Cancellation of Malignant Malevolence and Good Benevolence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the reading of the final dispositor listing, the Sun and Saturn are extra important. Both planets can under most circumstances cancel the effect of the other and if both lack balance, then the condition of the remaining four planets matters less. As a rule, a sufficiently benevolent Saturn can cancel a malignancy of Mars and Mercury which is less than severely malignant. Similarly, a sufficiently benevolent Sun can negate a malignancy of Venus and Jupiter which is less than severely malignant. A good Saturn can also cancel the malignancy of the Sun, if it is not severe, and a good Sun can negate the malignancy of Saturn. Here cancellation of malignancy does not mean no bad traits at all, but rather a very significant drop in their prevalence, for example from malignant to unsafe. This cancellation comes at a price: A malignant Saturn can cancel the benevolence of an inferior planet, for example from good to merely sufficient, and a malignant Sun can do the same thing for a superior planet. Additional Notes on Exclamation Marks, Plusses and Minuses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please note that exclamation marks only indicate potentials for certain actions and behavior. In no way is it implied that everyone with exclamation points next to Jupiter in their chart is a crook, or that everyone with four exclamation points next to Mercury is a murderer or torturer. What these marks do indicate are character traits that are troubling to the person. In the case of Mercury there can be an inferiority complex and in the case of Jupiter a superiority complex. In general, an inferiority complex causes a person to seek power over other people and to tear them down as compensation for his/her perceived lack of talent or competence. Their cluelessness or haughtiness, touchiness or timidity, and irritability or stupidity make them more frequent targets of bullying than other people. On the contrary, a superiority complex causes a person to shun direct, immediate or genuine power, as it is perceived as unnecessary, and thus the person becomes an easy victim of antisocial behavior and direct violence. Even with all these character traits known in advance it is usually not possible to predict where they will actually lead without also knowing the person's experiences and circumstances in life. To some extent these can be predicted or revealed by an examination of accidental factors in the birth horoscope, starting with the Ascendant, but not even a complete analysis of the horoscope can account for all the exact details of a person's life, his/her cultural background or level in society. In addition, not even a serial rapist goes around raping people all the time. Transitory influences must be examined to know how active a particular planet is at any given time. Only the sankhya yoga ruler and the atmakaraka are always fully active. Finally, so long as a planet has sufficient balance some "good" can come out of it: A strong Mercury always promotes monetary gains and verbal skills. It also contributes a sense of detail and some honesty in personal dealings. A strong Jupiter shows language and academic skills. It also increases the ability to compete or blend in and the chance of travel or rest. Stars and exclamation marks often work to cancel each other out. The benevolence of a planet (shown by stars) frequently reduces the malevolence of its planetary opposite (shown by exclamation marks). If the benevolent planet is the sankhya yoga ruler, a single star can cancel the malevolence of a single exclamation mark. If the starred planet is an ordinary planet, it can cancel the malevolence when it is active. In the same way, the malevolence of a planet often hinders the benevolence of its planetary opposite. In this and especially earlier previews most charts show excess plusses, minuses and exclamation marks. As from this preview, the average number of minuses will likely stay largely the same, but the number of exclamation marks is likely to continue its slow and steady descent until the release of the first pre-alpha. --------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER REGARDING ACCURACY FOR INDIVIDUAL CHARTS --------------------------------------------------- The initial purpose of the automatic chart analysis feature has been to test the effectiveness of various astrological factors. For this reason some implementations may work well for statistical purposes, but are too simplistic to yield accurate results for all individual charts. The war factor is one example of a simplified implementation. It can seriously underestimate the effect of multi-party wars under some circumstances (only the brightest planet in a sign is considered a possible enemy). Dispositor chaining is another factor, which can be implemented in different ways with sometimes very different outcomes for individual charts. Currently, it uses a mix of weakest link, arithmetic and geometric means as well as the product of all links. Finally, different settings for the relative influences of the various planets may impact a few charts greatly. ------------- USER ADVISORY ------------- The automatic chart analysis feature is not intended to replace human interpretation. It has been designed to be an objective complement to a complete and much more detailed analysis by a Priest or similarly qualified person. In addition, this particular software is still in its earliest design stage. The ACA feature should continue to see very signifcant changes - perhaps even in the very next update. At this stage the feature only considers essential indications (independent of geographic location, revealing essential character traits rather than traits based on temporal circumstances) and does not include the just as important accidental indications (based on time and place of birth, revealing immediate experiences and opportunities in this life), such as the Ascendant. Besides being limited to essential indications, the feature does not yet make sometimes important distinctions, such as separating extrovert and introvert polarities. However, if you want to find an especially qualified Priest/Astrologer, the software can help you out by fairly accurately gauging the essential indications present in his or her chart with regard to overall integrity as well as more specific strengths and weaknesses. If you find that the result of the essential analysis is satisfactory, for example showing above average overall integrity and a good Saturn, you may proceed to check if one or more of the following accidental indications are present as well: Saturn, Uranus, a Full Moon or the ruler of the First house in the First house (tropical zodiac, sidereal houses). If they are not, the person is unlikely to have astrology as a primary or even secondary calling in life. Ideally, he or she may also have the Ascendant in Aquarius (sidereal zodiac), or Libra as a second-best option. About Astrolog -------------- Astrolog is a classic when it comes to astrology software, not only is it 100 percent open source software, but it is also the most complete, and most flexible astrology calculation program ever made freely available. Thanks to the original author Walter D. Pullen, Astrolog is already available on multiple platforms, including DOS, Windows, Mac and Unix. Permission for this independent port and the name "Astrolog for OS/2" has been granted by the original author. Astrolog for OS/2 ----------------- This port of the original Astrolog software for 16-bit MS Windows to 32-bit IBM OS/2 compares to the Windows version (5.30) as follows. In the list below, a minus sign precedes original functionality not ported. A plus sign indicates functionality not found in the original Windows version. Functional changes: - Basic interpretations (report function to be implemented) - Arabic parts (unlikely to get implemented) - Biorythm (unlikely to get implemented) - Windows bitmap save (unlikely to get implemented) + OS/2 bitmap save. + Sidereal whole sign houses (aka Synchronized Houses). + Configurable default rising sign. + Sankhya Yoga (Jyotish). + Extended chart information, including tags and rodden ratings. + Extended dispositor screen + House peaks (make a difference for whole sign houses). + Long filenames (if supported by the filesystem). + Divisional charts modify houses. + Dwadasamsa division. + Remembers size and position of main window. + Automatic saving of almost all settings on exit. + Chart info caching (automatic resume). + Easy switching between four chart slots. + Chart slot swapping (eases synastry work). + Chart ring rotation (primary chart slot always in the center) + Localized time and date formats. + In addition to local time and date formats also recognizes ISO, US, Spanish and German date formats (in the chart info dialog). + Calendar can be specified for any date (suffix a date with a capital J for Julian or a capital G for Gregorian). + Time zone automatically picked up if the environment variable TZ has been set in config.sys, to test select the "Now" push button in the chart dialog or press ctrl+z. + Clear and non-conflicting UTC-based time zone designations (no confusing daylight savings setting). + Also recognizes direction-based time zone values, such as 7W for 7 hours west and 2E for 2 hours east. + Chart files can be easily associated with the executable. + Chart files in the current directory can be quickly opened in sequence (Next, Previous, First, Last). + Copying of select text to the clipboard. + Adjustment of aspect lines to orb (instead of a fixed 2 degrees). + Aspect trimming, by sign and out of sign. + Sine function for power reduction following orb. + Automatic/Advanced Chart Analysis, ACA: A new feature advanced and accurate enough to be of practical use. The system aims to provide reliable rankings of planets as well as signs in a chart. The first stage of analysis boils down to a chart integrity score, revealing essential character and influence. The second stage will look at accidental factors and produce a fortune score. As of TP80 the first stage is near completion. The second stage should take much less time to complete. Your feedback is important to help make ACA as accurate as possible. + Chart statistics for a group of charts, including sankhya yogas, atmakarakas and ACA mean, min, max and median values. Operational improvements: + Faster chart drawing. + Repaint instead of redraw whenever possible (disabled in this version for stability reasons). + Transit and other listings scrollable without recalculation. Functionality yet to be fully implemented: * Extended chart information: Multiple events per file. * Chart information dialog: More useful Atlas button (currently disabled). * Automatic Chart Analysis: Scores for individual planets, fortune score, plus more accurate integrity score. * Chart wheels: Easier to read planetary positions. * Many other features such as crude stats may be included in the final release. The following will probably have to wait until version 2.1: * Report function (user editable interpretation texts) * Major Yogas (jyotish) * Chart search Support OS/2 Software Development --------------------------------- Since this application has been ported and extended for free, Your donations are welcome.
