Juan Revila is a colleague of mine that has designed, as a labor of love, a program he calls Riyal. It will calculate, not only your basic chart....but also Chiron, Centaurs, Trans-Neptunian bodies, and even some asteroids. It is designed for the serious researcher, of course...someone who truly wants to study the multitude of bodies that have turned up in the past thirty years. But it is also great for the regular astrologer (you can turn off all the extra bodies if you want), who can use it to calculate all types of charts, as well as phenomena (such as generating a list of all the Venus/Mars conjunctions for the next 20 years.)

It's totally free, so you can download it and just play with it when you are bored, if you want.

Here is the basic display of bodies done for shortly before I began this post. If you want to know what any of these are, feel free to ask. Okyrhoe, for example, is a Centaur, and so is BU48 (which has not been given an official name yet.) Huya, on the other hand, is one of the bodies found out past Pluto. And look, UB313...that's Xena.

I am going to upload a chart created by Riyal for this moment, just so you can see what it's like to have so many bodies in the houses! I will call it Rightnow.jpg
I am also uploading another chart that Riyal is capable of creating, a picture of the night sky (Constellations.jpg)

There is a link for this software on the Astrology Tribe FAQs. Have fun!
