Thank you. I was wondering where I was going to get this information. I'm just starting to relearn Astrology and frankly didn't want to go and get an Ephemeris this time around unless I really needed one.

[dadsnook2000]

I have six astrology software programs on my computer. Yet, I use my several ephemerides every day. It's so much easier to look ahead in a book-page or several pages covering a year than run computer charts on a screen. Of course, I sometimes do 20 to 40 charts a week. Dave

Ephemerides are how I did it when I was actively doing Astrology. I had software as early as 1983, but I had the books too. And yes, I can already tell that using a book would be a lot easier than what I am currently doing. I just haven't actually decided to bite the bullet and buy one yet. <grin>
