As an astrologer and programmer, it was my interest as well as my job to try to convert as many astrological calculations to the computer as I could. My fellow astrologers were waiting for this, and although there were many who were at first wary of the computer (and in an almost fundamentalist way), they soon warmed to the new technology, and most today embrace it wholeheartedly. That would be another and very funny story to relate, how early-on some astrologers felt that computerized astrology was like the “devil’s tool.” But those days are pretty much gone. Let me get to my point.

Back then, I was busy implementing various astrological techniques, all of which were more or less interesting, but none of them life-changing, and then, like stepping into a black hole, I stumbled on heliocentric astrology.
