With interesting features concerning declination.

available only in English
  • John Halloran designed a program - AstrolDeluxe for Windows - that would translate declination into longitude and longitude into declination and allow us to view these placements in a traditional round chart. The current version of AstrolDeluxe features a separate table for declination aspects and also for declination synastry aspects between charts - and the orbs for the parallel and contraparallel aspects can be customized by the user. It gives 2 excellent declination charts and does all the math and correction for Out of Bounds. The natal report writer includes the option of having declination aspect interpretations, although there are no such interpretations in the interpretation sets that they sell. The included Edit Interpretations program supports adding these interpretations, and the ReportWriter feature in AstrolDeluxe ReportWriter will use them. The ReportWriter supports printing reports in different languages. Version 6 of AstrolDeluxe costs $169, plus $7 air mail.

  • Solar Fire 5 added a program that allows the construction of an linear graph for declination of all planets. It recognises those periods when a planet goes beyond maximum declination. Solar Fire calculates the graph showingboth hemispheres; Janus and WinStar calculate it combining the hemispheres into one; Kepler will address the graph in the next update.

  • The Magi Society has a program Magisoft that includes in one chart both longitudes as declinations. For an example see on this site.

  • Kt Boehrer, the declination Lady (qouted from: Kt Boehrer in The Other Dimension, NCGR Declination SIG Newsletter - Volume 6, No.4, p. 1, 14-15, Winter 2001) continues to hope that some computerprogrammer produce the program we so seriously need. "That chart combines both the planets's longitude and declination in a chart that allows the astrolger to see, with vivid clarity, the relationships that exist among planets by both longitude and declination, plus immediately identifies the planets that have gone beyond the ecliptic and/or the planets that are situated exactly on the ecliptic" (the elliptical chart: see Kt's dream).

  • Freeware: a very good program is astrolog 5.40 with mini-FAQ; see settings, calculation settings, set to equatorial coords, turn on a text listing of planets which will show declinations, pull up a chart, and do a progression. Then animate, you can look at all the progressed declination you would ever want backwards and forwards.
