Program:   Win*Star and Win*Star Plus

Win*Star Tips by Frank Piechoski

The TimeScan feature in Win*Star and Win*Star Plus is a powerful tool for the astrologer. TimeScan takes the last search you've done, be it Transits, Progressions, Directions or any combination of those and puts them in a graphic format. Once in TimeScan, you may display sign ingresses, house ingresses and void of course periods.

If you have chosen to calculate enter/leaving orbs for your search, you will see color bars for each of the search planets. With this graphic aid, you can see where the transits, progressions or directions overlap, focusing in on key times.

There is a Time Line you can drag around to find the precise time and date of an aspect, and you can click anywhere in the TimeScan window to get pop-up information on planetary positions and aspects.

TimeScan is just one more feature of Win*Star that helps astrologers do their jobs faster and more efficiently.

Happy Computing!     - Frank Piechoski
