[Win*Star Astrology Program]

Win*Star v.2, $200 (see features list below)
With Win*Star, Matrix Software sets the tone for Windows astrology calculation programs. The flexible, colorful Windows environment is perfectly suited to chart analysis. Several chart wheels can be displayed on one screen, providing a new ease for chart comparison. There are special grids and tables for asteroids, Uranians, Arabic Parts, Cosmobiology dials, horary wheels, midpoint dials and just about every astrological technique. Win*Star offers over 200 wheels: standard single, double, triple and even quad wheels, as well as a variety of dials and data forms. You have your choice of the most popular chart wheels from Europe and North America, either in color or black and white.

Win*Star Plus (v.2), $295 (see features list below)
Win*Star Plus outsells the $200 Win*Star by 10-to-1. This is because the Plus version has five extra modules added to the Basic Win*Star program for even more exciting astrology:

Win*Star Ephemeris Generator Graphic Ephemeris Kaleidoscope Watch the heavens as they move with Kaleidoscope! Win*Star Plus includes this dazzlingly colorful, innovative program which combines astrology fundamentals (and some advanced concepts) in a playful interface. View on-screen wheels for any date
and see the planets move in synch, either in their orbits or in a standard open wheel. Kaleidoscope is like no program you have ever seen before.
Publisher's Assistant The Publisher's Assistant screen is as simple as can be. You can open charts, as well as associate chart forms, from the current charts list. Choose the output size you want and press a button to save the chart for later retrieval, or copy to the clipboard.
This special module lets you create graphic files of Win*Star charts for desktop publishing.
Win*Search The Win*Search module is a complete research tool for all your Win*Star charts. Search for any combination of planets, signs, houses, aspects, phase angles, elements, modalities, declinations, or quadrant emphasis. Win*Search displays your research results numerically and in seven graphic styles: 2D, 3D, pie, bar, line, area, and polar. Select any category in a Win*Star database to search for patterns among friends, family, clients, anyone. Searches cover planets, Uranians, asteroids, Transpluto and Chiron, the Part of Fortune, the Moon's Nodes, and angles (Midheaven, Ascendant, Vertex, and Equatorial Point).
The Professional Graphic Ephemeris produces high quality graphs like the ones Matrix provides Baldur Ebertin for his classic Cosmobiological Graphs. Produce graphs to suit your various client and research needs. Use longitude, declination, or
other coordinate systems. Select the desired harmonic and the points to include.
Your Win*Star system can now include the most complete ephemeris calculator ever created. This convenient program has a built-in midpoint ephemeris, the first ever offered in software. It also features a house cusp ephemeris for viewing a number of specialized ephemerides -- including minute-to-minute Part of Fortune and house cusps for any location (ideal for gambling and playing the stock market).
