This is an option that can be turned on or off. The Planets The first and largest chapter of an Astro*Talk report takes the reader through the planets and their aspects, beginning with the Sun and the Moon. You have a choice of 12 different aspect sets, plus the option of including or omitting any combination of planets. (Two sets of interpretations in this software means no duplications in the text of planetary aspects). Life Landscapes These Saturn transits in the Grant Lewi-style provide description of major life periods: your personal background, plus a close-up look at your current situation, complete with exact dates of Saturn transits. Burn Rate Do you run hot and fast? Do things in your life change rapidly? Or is your life less turbulent and more straight-forward? Discover your personal "Burn Rate." "Burn Rate" is based on a new and exciting technique. The geocentric and heliocentric positions of the planets are analyzed and the planets in high focus are interpreted. Discover if your burn rate is high or low, or in-between and whether the majority of your planets are in the past, present or future. Chart Pattern/Soul Type Both geocentric and heliocentric charts are analyzed for major chart patterns and then interpreted. You inner self is contrasted with your outer personality. Keys to both inner and outer aspects are delineated. Even your personal "hot spot" (the most aspected planet) is described. Elemental Balance This section analyzes elements, modalities, and angularities. Discover which you have in abundance or which you are lacking. Measuring these gives a general picture of the person. Challenges and Abilities This is a second breakdown of planetary aspects, describing areas of intense focus and activity. Challenges can be difficult, requiring caution and extra patience. Abilities are areas of clear insight and real talent. Interface Nodes Interface Nodes provides a complete heliocentric planetary node analysis. The position of each planet in relation to the other planets is indicated by either inclinations (likes) or disinclinations (dislikes). The nodes represent our root level or core - our innermost qualities. House Activity and Emphasis This is a six-to-eight page report on this very important basic part of astrology. Houses, signs, and planets in houses are looked at in this section. Major Transits Astro*Talk calculates and interprets transits for Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It gives dates when the next major transits for these planets are exact in your chart. Explanatory Supplement This is a 15 page introduction to astrological terms and concepts. Like any of the chapters in an Astro*Talk report you may choose to include or exclude this chapter based on your understanding of your client's needs.
