TimePassages 5.2, another top product in our astrology software review, is a quality astrology software package that’s blissfully easy to use.

Point and click interpretations are the hallmark feature of TimePassages 5.2, making it ideal for beginners who want easy reference to interpretations while browsing a chart. Simply click on any symbol on the wheel and a window will pop-up, generating a pre-made interpretation based on the planetary coordinates. Control-click gives further astrological information of a particular astrological symbol.

A built-in ACS atlas is included with TimePassages 5.2. Once you find your city in the database and select it, TimePassages 5.2 automatically enters your latitude, longitude, time zone and daylight time information, helping to ensure accurate chart calculation. Simply enter your city, state and country, and TimePassages 5.2 will look it up in a database from over 250,000 cities worldwide.

TimePassages 5.2 calculates detailed astrological reports, generates in-depth interpretations and also teaches the basics of astrology in its user guide. Lessons like, “How can you use Astrology to gain insight into your own life, and Others?“ are found in the introduction area of the guide. Photo-realistic astro-maps are another feature exclusive to TimePassages 5.2. Instead of viewing an astro-map that resembles a simple bitmap graphic, the astro-maps in TimePassages 5.2 resemble radar imagery, helping the map (and the interpretations) seem all the more vivid.

TimePassages 5.2 creates single, bi and tri wheels as well as Natal, Progressed and Transit charts. It calculates and displays Natal charts and Transit bi-wheel charts with interactive interpretations that you can click on to view an interpretation of an individual planet, or the whole chart.

As for the breadth of interpretations you’ll find in TimePassages 5.2, it generates interpretations based on natal factors as well as transitioning events. Also, this astrology software has the ability to generate full, professional-grade astrology reports with interpretations written by astrologer Henry Seltzer.

Customizable chart display is another feature that makes TimePassages 5.2 a noteworthy product. You can display charts exactly the way you want, with display options such as fonts, background color, rimmed sign labels, day-month-year date format, aspect options and aspect orbs. TimePassages 5.2 also displays asteroids and centaurs on its charts.

TimePassages 5.2 was the first astrology software to provide time-lapse animation for some of its wheels. It can animate transits and progressions, helping you see the chart evolve over time and providing additional insight into a chart. It also creates graphical transit timelines that track transits over a specific time period using a graphical layout, creating a series of curves that represent each planet’s aspects for periods of three, six or twelve months.
