PERSONAL COSMIC MIRROR

INTRODUCTION:

Personal cosmic mirror is a computer program, which will calculate and interpret your natal chart, and draw a beautiful chart wheel on screen or paper using a matrix printer or a plotter.

To use the program, you won't need any astrological knowledge at all. All you need is the date, time and place of birth and the sex of the person, which you enter into the main menu of the program.

The interpretation is quite sensitive to birth time accuracy. Just ten minutes difference may in some cases change quite a bit of the printout. That means, that in case of an uncertain birthtime, you may need either a rectification done by a capable astrologer or having the birthtime confirmed.

The program uses an advanced and unique interpretation mechanism. This means that you will get an interpretation which has balanced the chart factors against each other as a human astrologer would have done. Therefore you will see that the printout will be reasonable consistent, avoiding the contradictions known from many ordinary "cook-book" interpretation programs.

You will find a very limited selection of astrology options. This is because the program is mainly meant to do ready made interpretations, and in order to work properly, it must stick to consistent rules. As an astrologers tool, you'll rather need the PCA program, which operates much like this program, but offers a vast number of astrological techniques, and for which you might write your own interpretation text.

You should find the program very straightforward to use. The program uses one main menu for both data input, execution of the calculations and for filing birth data.
