Graphic and Dynamic Astrology Forecasts with VegaSviri and Astro-Services

Dynamic Charts As A Method Of Graphic Forecast
(Based On The Astrological Program VegaSviri)

Even novices to astrology know that a horoscope is a valuable source of information for highlighting and determining specific psychological profiles, skills, preferences and behavior types (in relation to life situations and relationships). An experienced astrologer rarely relies on psychological profiling only, and will never abandon attempts to at least roughly predict future events.

There are a vast number of prediction methods and techniques available, each fulfilling a specific area. For instance, transit aspects with natal chart items can point to the active current events in the social life of a person. While aspects of symbolic directions reflect the private side. Certainly, in real life every aspect is intertwined and cannot be separated. If a prolonged negative direction aspect creates depressive moods for months at a time, it does not mean that the subject in question is naturally gloomy or will remain that way. It is always possible that favorable transits will introduce many enjoyable days during this period of time. Concluding that a person is always under the constant influence of multiple astrological factors that give their life unique and varying content.

Armed with a computer, a modern astrologer can print out all the astrological factors liable to affect an important event in their customer's life. Using a reference list, an astrologer can use their own judgement to choose which insignificant or minor factors they will leave out. A trained astrologer's eye can immediately determine which 2 or 3 astrological phenomena produced the current event. However, this only applies to a retrospective forecast. It is not a simple task to detect main factors for a future forecast from the huge list of planet aspects, house cusps, nodes in transits, directions and profections. It is possible to take a systematic approach to astrology but only the very best professionals are able to analyze the copious amount of data they have at their disposal and generate a valid and accurate forecast. More often than not, intuition plays a huge role in the accuracy of an experienced astrologer's decision-making process. Yet, this approach can be seen as nothing more than plain guesswork.

We have attempted to create a universal methodology that considers and assesses main astrological factors in a forecast for any period of time. A forecast should not be presented as a series of mind-boggling tables of aspects and overlapping astrological charts but as an easy-to-recognize and utilize display of graphs, histograms and diagrams. The result of our research is the VegaSviri family of software products with graphic forecasting as their prominent feature.

Two graphs are created when producing a chart for any period of time: the color red highlights the negatives, and the color green, the positives. The colors carry the same symbolic meaning as individual traffic lights. Red emphasizes tension, difficulties, crisis-related aspects and circumstances, dilemmas and moments when important decisions have to be made. Green symbolizes stability, success, and supportive aspects.

WHAT ARE THESE TWO CHARTS AND HOW ARE THEY BUILT?

The charts constitute a joint manifestation of all astrological factors the user has considered for calculation. Every factor receives its own weight. Weight masks are created and the correlation among different astrological factors is ranged. If you want your chart to be simple and illustrative you have to familiarize yourself with the setup of the program's preferences. This is why we designed the program with preset defaults. In other words, we've made your job a lot easier!

For example, the weight of every aspect type can be specified in the middle column of Aspect Weights. Preset default weights were obtained through years of research.

Weights of Planets for dynamic feature

Conjunctions as the strongest aspect, has the default value of 4 points; square 2.5 points; opposition and trine have 2 points each. Determining the value for sextile requires a bit more knowledge. By default it has the value of 2 points. Yet practical experience dictates that its points strongly depend on how a person feels and in what situation the person is at the moment of the forecast. If the person has many options to choose from, then he or she can be quite free at determining the course of their own actions, especially if their potential is virtually unlimited (youth, money, status, high position). If this is applicable in your case, then the sextile value can be weighted at 2-2.5 points. But if the person's number of personal choices, power and money are limited, if they are facing restrictive circumstances, tough work conditions, and influences that are bringing their ability to expand to a halt, etc., then their sextile value drops to 1 point. But please note that these are only initial settings. While working on a customer's chart, an astrologer can employ their own sense to determine the strength of various astrological factors and customize the system according to their needs.

For instance, we have treated all squares and oppositions as negative factors, while trines and sextiles are regarded as positive factors. We approached minor aspects in much the same way. By default, the group of quintile (creative) aspects is positive and karmic aspects are negative. Conjunctions are a different matter entirely. Every user has to find the quality of a conjunction with a planet in the table. This setup will significantly increase the accuracy of a forecast.

Every planet, house cusp, aspect and prediction method has its own weight. The weights are shown in a special table. We managed to make the program controls universal, so that for every natal chart and event type - such as moving to a new place, birth of a child, change of job, marriage, disease etc., a separate weight table can be created. This can be saved so that all settings are kept.

Please note that a dynamic curve can result from a variety of charts created with different prediction methods. To obtain a graphic forecast for a person over a three-year interval, you should choose the Transits of modern planets like Jupiter and Saturn (fast-moving planets will only clutter the chart and make it illegible). Also use the Symbolic Directions and Progressing of the Moon, Mercury and Venus as predictive methods. You don't need to pay any special attention to the progressing Sun, as it basically mirrors the Sun in direction. The final graphic forecast will be based on the aspects of three predictive methods. To achieve a higher degree of accuracy give the Transits more weight than progressions and directions - as we are more interested in external events after all!

Symbolic directions reflect the processes deep within us that attract external events. Essentially, symbolic directions are the individual programs of every human being. Directional aspects have a long life span (up to three years for the Sun and the Moon, and up to two years for all other planets) and influence most of the important events in our life. Progressions stand between transits and symbolic directions. That's why transits are quite important when predicting a period of time that encompasses one to three years. Over longer periods, symbolic directions and progressions gain more weight.

Every aspect that occurs within three years during transits, directions and progressions is described as a non-linear function. Its value is low when planets enter the orb, grows exponentially until the aspect's culmination, reaches its maximum on precise aspect and decreases exponentially afterwards. As a result, two charts are created detailing how the life of a person will be within the next three years. It is no secret that an event should be confirmed using multiple predictive methods. That's why the joining of charts usually produces a spike graph.

HOW TO WORK WITH A CHART?

We see two lines on the chart. One is red; the other is green.

They may coincide, cross each other or diverge. But what does this mean? If the green line is above the red one it corresponds to a period of success and overall stability. When reversed (red above green), it denotes a time of difficulties, problems and crises. Peaks symbolize moments of decision-making. If the lines nearly touch, it represents difficult but productive periods when a person both has obstacles to overcome and the means to achieve it.

The accuracy criterion is the position of the red and green line in regards to each other. They should swing along the same horizontal axis. In certain places a line can abruptly rise or fall, meaning that something is happening. Generally a great distance between two lines won't remain constant. The weights should be set in accordance with this rule. If the above-mentioned values of aspect strength and planet points produce two widely diverging curves you ought to enter some corrections and reassess the importance of the factors that currently are in effect within the horoscope.

For instance, two squares with Pluto in transit are capable of making your red line shoot up. This certainly signifies a period of difficulty but it is unlikely that it will only consist of crises, worries, mishaps and problems. Despite squares creating a generally depressing background, there will still be normal, relaxing days. A person cannot stay depressed all the time and needs to relax. That's why our conscious mind forces problems into the subconscious. Therefore, it is recommended to somewhat reduce the weight of Pluto squares and bring the positive and negative curves closer together.

A most alarming period is when the red curve shoots straight up and the green curve drops down. The absent backing of the positive curve highlights the seriousness of the crisis. The situation is most likely to resolve itself the best way it can, as the curve moves up. However, the strength of the peak measured in points has to be considered. The left vertical scale shows how "dangerous" the outburst is. Referring to the points on the left vertical scale will enable you to compare absolute values. This is when the tip of the spike is in the uppermost portion of the chart for any given period of time.

VegaSviri has set the following approximate values for the red curve:

The same values applied to the positive green line usually represent a harmonious and favorable period of diverse intensity.

By nature, people react to positive and negative peaks differently. A person of strong will power and stable nature usually relaxes and rests on positive peaks without making any moves. Their inner feeling usually follows the philosophy of 'everything is as it should be' or 'everything is OK'. To achieve noticeable results, such a person needs problems, confrontation and struggle. That is when they come to life, display their determination, plunge into the midst of the battle and usually end up winning by twisting the situation to their advantage. A classic example of this kind is Boris Yeltsin, a devotee of unexpected moves and elaborate schemes.

A different kind of person becomes active at the time of positive aspects. They manage to accomplish a lot of things and have the feeling that their hour has come and a "tail wind fills their sail". At the time of crises they are crushed by circumstances, their activity dies down and they lie in wait for better times to come.

These are obviously two opposing human reactions to life crises. There are plenty of different reactions in between when certain characteristics dominate. In every particular case you should determine the psychological profile of the personality you are creating the forecast for and their reaction to an aspect.

While a chart displays hard and favorable times, most people want to know which coming events will be most affected. To find this out, click on the respective part of the chart with the left mouse button and a table of time-relevant aspects will pop up on the right. To see whether an aspect is emerging, dissolving or culminating, make a double click with the left mouse button on the aspect line in the table. The Aspect Dynamics window will appear and a blue slanting line will indicate the emerging aspect and a slanting red line, the dissolving aspect. The vertical red line stands for the exact time of the aspect. The vertical green line indicates the current time of inquiry. As the cursor moves across the window the time is shown on a yellow tab. You can easily find out if there are indications that an aspect will repeat due to the retrograde nature of a planet and has the potential to emerge more than once in close intervals.

An aspect between two points of a chart

Move the cursor outside the Aspect Dynamics chart, press and hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor across the chart to its opposite side, slightly crossing the chart border (the mouse will leave behind a dashed red line). You will see the measured interval changing. After a little practice, you will be able to change the interval with a single mouse movement without making any mistakes. The interval can be reduced the same way. Only the movement has to be constrained to the chart boundaries. The measured interval changes within the chart the same way.

If the situation requires a profound analysis you can double-click with the left mouse button on the crest and call up natal and transit Zodiac circles. Here, amidst familiar planet and sign symbols, every astrologer can find what they are looking for.

This was a short description of how to create and work with a graphic forecast. The transition from displaying forecasts as confusing astrological charts to easy-to-understand graphs, is very valuable! Group forecasts, modeling of situations and neuronet curves for all possible purposes are based on this simple graphic display. Such graphs should make their way to a director's desk, housewife's kitchen, student's computer or diary of a young woman in love. We have already released the program eSybilla for non-astrologers, which is capable of graphically displaying predictions based on professional astrological methods. We hope that dynamic charts will bring astrology closer to people and give them the feeling of how powerful, effective and useful it can be.
