Phaethon is a stand-alone asteroid calculation & (uniquely) asteroid description-editing program.

I ran this software on Windows for a number of years, right up to Windows 7. Now an abandoned asteroid calculation project, PHAETHON, by Albert Timashev, is an MSDOS (yes!) software program that may still be available if you inquire, as it is still (to date) on the website (which hasn’t been updated or copyrighted since 2000! - but it does have a security certificate).

(The heading link, above, takes you to the site.) This link, below, is for Esoteric Astrology’s instructions and requirements for setting up Solar Fire Gold on a Mac via virtual machines: SOLAR FIRE also runs well on Parallels on a Mac (actually, better than on a PC!). (A note: I’ve been copying my own category lists (over 300) from the backend files of Solar Fire and pasting them into separate files in my Apple Notes app for availability on all my Apple devices, adding new asteroids to the lists as I find them. I check these categories when I find a specific theme in a chart, so I don’t forget to look up the positions for all the asteroids I have for that theme!) I have 300 of my own categories in SOLAR FIRE, though each category is incomplete without all the Named asteroids I have available in SIRIUS-but still very useful for the quick access to some asteroid aspects within categories. SOLAR FIRE does uniquely have great asteroid aspects-to-planets listings within your own asteroid category files (plus, quite a few categories are supplied for you there) that can, themselves, be easily edited and created. But this number can be boosted by connecting to the ASTRODIENST site (see note at the bottom of this page *) for ( tediously!) downloading more asteroid files, one file at a time, which I used to do years ago! Especially recommended for their comprehensive SOLAR FIRE program, and their Asteroid Add-On category-editing supplemental disk, although it only contains 10,000 asteroids and only 7,500 of those have names, but it’s a good start. Windows-based programs for all systems of astrology. I’ve been experimenting with the free open source Virtual Box application (by Oracle) on my Mac, to replace Parallels which is not supposed to support Windows XP (that I’m using for my old Windows apps) - but not the easiest thing to set up! …I gave up! But I was able to go back and re-download my old version of Parallels 10 to run Windows XP. (See my instructions below for running and using these Windows apps on your Mac.)

There is also an option in SIRIUS to create a small number of your own category groups of asteroids.Īll asteroid listings appear onscreen and are exportable as txt or pdf files. Before each calculation, you can choose how many columns you want per page, and which information to include, such as Name, ID Number, Longitude, Declination, Speed, etc… See my procedure and general suggestions, below, under Here’s My Method in the Mac Solutions section.Ĭosmic Patterns software applications are Windows-based, but also run well with Parallels (+ your own Windows OS) on a Mac. (And, by contrast, you could also check out where #26955 Lie turns up in the chart!).

So far, as I write (updated April 2018), the complete astrological database of Named asteroids contains more than 19,000 asteroids! You may not think you need all these asteroids, but would you really want to miss out on some of the newer ones such as #249521 Truth ? Truth was the 249,521st asteroid to be discovered, so would not likely show up in smaller lists from other software developers. Plus, SIRIUS has an amazing feature which automatically downloads extra asteroid files/names (providing you have their optional extra Asteroid CDs installed) from the ASTRODIENST website, while you are calculating a list when connected to the internet! How cool is that!! So you always have the latest list that is available! SIRIUS firstly has an optional set of Asteroid disks for more than 15,000 Named asteroids (plus thousands of so-far Unnamed asteroids that later may receive names). SIRIUS is the only astrology software application I have found that provides complete up-to-date listings of all of the astrologically-available officially Named asteroids, and available in Zodiac (Longitude) order ( necessary for serious asteroid work!). Developers of the Windows-based astrology software programs: Pegasus Kepler and especially SIRIUS which has the most advanced asteroid chart features currently available for astrologers.
