Version 2.0 Technological Preview 81
====================================

This is a prerelease of Astrolog for OS/2 and not a final release.
As a general rule, all prerelease versions should be used for testing
purposes only. Most new features are only partially implemented.

New in TP81
-----------

This is a major special update. It contains a great many improvements
to the ACA module. The most significant change over the previous
special update (TP71) is the separation of the Moon as dispositor and
the Moon as a phase object, later referred to as the Solar Moon. The
Moon as dispositor carries the same influence as that of the Sun by
default, while the Moon in relation to the Sun, by default, is the
most influential of all objects enabled. The influence is greater
than that in previous previews. The increased influence has greatly
improved statistical significance.

The analysis module in this update is still a mix of both old and new
code, but tuned to produce results more inline with what can be
expected in the next regular update. The code is cleaner with a lot
of tuning constants eliminated. The Sankhya Yoga Ruler (SYR) retains
much more dignified influence than before. The higher planets (those
associated with higher sankhya yogas than the current SYR) stand to
lose more influence and the lower planets keep more influence. The
average integrity score for the 715 public figures is now raised and
the amount of disgraced influence is lower than in earlier previews.
When enabled the chaining factor should never increase integrity. The
only factor which can still increase integrity is the last one in the
list, the SY factor. Like before it can only happen if the diagnostic
shows a value of less than 50 percent. Its positive effect is more
limited than before. While a positive effect improves statistical
significance, it might be slightly counter-intuitive to see the
integrity score rise ever so slightly when enabling this factor, and
for that reason and consistency with all the other factors, its
potential for boosting integrity may see further reduction in coming
updates.

This update yields a lot of statistical improvements, but there are
still a few charts that score much too high and a great many that
score too low. One reason for this special update is that the chart
for the Canadian serial killer scoring above 50 and even above 60
percent integrity in some earlier previews now scores much lower.
While the average integrity score for the C715 group of charts has
increased significantly, the score for the serial killer has dropped
well below 33 for a noon birth. The separation of the Moon as a
dispositor from the Moon as a phase object accounts for most of this
drop. As a minor side-effect, the separation has also led to
situations of internal planetary wars. This effect is the strongest
for New and Full Moons. For the Full Moon, the phase object always
wins these wars. The ideal Solar Moon influence is always to some
extent assigned the Sun. On average about half the initial influence
is assigned the Sun's ideal influence. As a result, it is now more
difficult to achieve stars next to the Sun in the Benevolence table,
especially for Full Moons. The advantage of Full Moons over other
Solar Moons is the increased awareness and thus an increased
likelihood of seeing stars next to Saturn in the same table. The Moon
as dispositor follows the Sun with regard to essential dignity. The
only difference being the flip of primary and secondary dignities.

In all future updates, I expect the average integrity score for the
C715 group to land somewhere between 12 and 16. I do not believe I can
manage to increase statistical significance much further, if at all.
Instead, I will focus my efforts on bringing up more charts from the
red categories in the C715 group and bringing down charts from the
Green and higher categories in the T1080 group. All charts for serial
killers/rapists should score below Green in the first pre-alpha. All
sociopaths and at least 99 percent of all prolific serial killers
should score below YellowGreen.

In a future regular update, the category conditions might be amended
to include disgrace, not only integrity, as is now the case. Average
chart influence is likely to drop significantly, but so is also
average disgraced influence. Charts with really low integrity will
only end up in the Red if they show more disgraced influence than
dignified or score extremely low integrity. If they do not they will
end up in the Orange, Yellow or YellowGreen categories depending on
their ratio of dignified to disgraced influence. Charts can also get
demoted if they have too much disgraced influence relative integrity.

The following are goals for the first pre-alpha, some of which have
been met by this technological preview: A significantly raised average
integrity score for the C715 group, greater than 12 percent; Fewer
than 35 percent of the charts should appear in the DR category and
fewer than 50 percent in the red categories; The charts of all
imprisoned criminals should score below Indigo; All salesmen, players,
puritans and sex offenders should score below Blue; All routinely
violent criminals should score below 50, they should also score
inferior disgrace at least half the integrity; All torturers, child or
serial rapists and serial killers, and at least 95 percent of all
other rapists and murderers, should score below Green, they should
also score inferior disgrace greater than half the integrity; All
thieves and psychotic people as well as drunkards and decidedly
dishonest or self-applauding people should score in the Yellow or a
lower category, they should also score superior disgrace greater than
half the integrity; in addition, all druggies and psychotic people
should have a clearly malignant Jupiter; At least 85 percent of all
extra-ordinary violent criminals and at least 95 percent of all
sadists, child or serial rapists, serial killers, and pseudo-
psychiatrists should score in the Orange or a lower category; All
perpetrators of extra violent crimes, most obviously sadistic killing,
emotional abuse, and war crimes, but also violence against old people,
children and animals, should score inferior disgrace greater than the
integrity; If the perpetrator lacks harmful intent, but the victims
still experience serious harm, then the perpetrator should score
superior disgrace exceeding the integrity; All dictators should score
integrity below YellowGreen; All insane, moronic, jealous, idiotic or
incompetent people should score integrity below Yellow and inferior
disgrace at least one third greater than the integrity; More than two
thirds of all dictators, war criminals, mad people and psychopaths
should score below Orange and more than a third should score in the
Dark Red category; All mad people and anti-social psychopaths should
also score inferior disgrace at least twice the integrity and have
insufficient benevolence for Jupiter, or score inferior disgrace
greater than integrity and have an extremely malignant Mercury, Mars
or Sun; Venus and Saturn must also score benevolence below good; The
average integrity for atheists and all severely mentally retarded
people should fall in the red. Without exception their charts should
have severely insufficient benevolence for Mars or extremely
insufficient benevolence for the Sun and insufficient benevolence for
Mars; at least two thirds should also have clearly insufficient
benevolence for Saturn and none should have a very good or excellent
Mercury; no atheists should score in the Green or a higher category;
All xenophobes, hypocrites, as well as clueless people prejudiced
against astrology should score in the red and have inferior disgrace
at least twice the integrity; All diabolical liars, chronic
psychopaths with especially low IQs, arrogant and pathetic dictators,
false prophets, genuine and thus utterly unscrupulous and fully
delusional alcoholics, extremely violent aggressors, and all other
completely shameless people should score in the Dark Red; they should
also score inferior disgrace at least three times the integrity; More
than 50 percent of the days of the last 7 cycles of Saturn should
score in the Orange or a higher category.

Change details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * ACA: There have been quite a few significant changes to the ACA
   module in this update. The new statistics show fewer charts
   scoring really low and more charts scoring in the YellowGreen or
   higher categories.

   The new Sankhya Yoga algorithm is less aggressive for most charts.
   The three primary variables controlling influence caps and
   diversions come with both floors and ceilings based on SY innate
   dignity. Rahu and Saturn limit their maximum values if not
   perfectly dignified.

   The new 'Curtailed' diagnostic label refers to the fact that the SY
   factor causes influence to be cut short, limiting its expression
   to a particular stage of development. Influence dispositors beyond
   the SYR lose influence, some of which is diverted to the SYR.
   Dispositors below the SYR may only lose significant influence if
   the SYR lacks bestowed dignity. The diagnostic should only show 0
   percent for the highest SY. The 100 percent value should only show
   up for the lowest sankhya yoga and only if the Sun is not in Leo.

   The analysis of the AK has not changed in this update. The new
   'Vitiated' label refers to the fact that a high number should
   correspond to loss of vitality through premature aging, in a sense
   the opposite effect to that of the SY factor. The AK factor reveals
   too much experience too soon, or put in another way, it indicates
   bad karma reducing the vitality. A future update will implement a
   more aggressive atmakaraka analysis. Currently, the analysis only
   transfers influence from the Sun (for a Man) or the Moon (for a
   women) to the AK. The new analysis will transfer influence between
   the two, as well as from all dispositor objects below the AK (in
   the order of the AKs) to the AK. Saturn as the AK will thus draw
   influence from all the other dispositor objects and if it is fully
   undignified and greatly advanced over the other planets it will
   greatly weaken them according to their lack of essential dignity in
   its domicile. For Saturn as the AK, the latter limitation means
   that the Sun and the Moon stand to lose the most (no limitation)
   and Mercury the least (84 percent of its influence is left
   unaffected).

   The following is the new stats. The mean integrity score has
   increased significantly and a lot fewer charts now score in the red
   categories. The obvious ultimate goal is to see fewer than 50
   percent of the C715 charts in the red.

   Neither the chart for US astrologer Isabel Hickey nor the chart for
   nazi dictator Adolf Hitler are included in the two chart groups.
   The same is true for all other charts representing astrologers and
   dictators. The correct gender has been entered for Isabel Hickey,
   but no changes have yet been made to any of the other charts.
   Correct gender info will be entered for all charts after the next
   regular update.

   The following is the new chart distribution by category:

                      C715    T1080

      1. DR (%):      38.88   46.30
      2. Red (%):     13.01   14.81
      3. Orange (%):  16.08   15.28
      4. Yellow (%):  18.46   17.31
      5. YG (%):       6.71    3.61
      6. Green (%):    5.17    1.39
      7. Blue (%):     1.40    0.83

      9. Violet (%):   0.00    0.00
      ---------------------   -----
      Five+ (%):      13.57    6.30

   In the previous documented release (TP71), while the average
   integrity score for all the serial killers was well below average
   for the 715 public figures included in the test suite, and the most
   prolific serial killers already scored in the Red categories, there
   was one Canadian serial killer whose chart scored in the Blue. With
   this update, the charts for all known serial killers score below 50
   percent integrity. In addition, all dictators score below the
   YellowGreen category, and all but one score below average for the
   715 public figures.

   For the most extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall
   into one of the red categories and the inferiority score be at
   least five times the integrity score, or the integrity score fall
   into the Orange category and the inferiority score be at least six
   times the integrity score. Already, the most notorious sociopaths,
   war criminals, scam artists, torturers, sadists, mass-murderers,
   and serial killers easily satisfy this condition:

      Henry Kissinger (31.81 / 20.93 = 1,52) (1)
      Tzipi Livni (62.17 / 6.96 = 8,93)
      Dominique Strauss-Kahn (64.76 / 6.99 = 9,26) (3)
      Bernie Madoff (66.80 / 3.49 = 19,1)
      Donald Ewen Cameron (93.73 / 2.48 = 37,8) (2)
      Marquis de Sade (52.82 / 1.38 = 38,3)
      Bill Gates (63.51 / 1.26 = 50,4)
      Anders Behring Breivik (60.52 / 0.52 = 116) (4)
      Timothy McVeigh (60.46 / 0.36 = 168)
      Harold Shipman (65.61 / 0.16 = 410)
      Adolf Eichmann (53.54 / 0.09 = 595)
      Ted Bundy (74.26 / 0.10 = 743)

   1) In this release, Kissinger's chart does not qualify but is
   included for reference only. His chart did qualify in some earlier
   previews and should do so again in a future preview. His chart
   features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, AK enjoying exalted
   dignity in its sign - but its dispositor is combust, fully
   undignified Libra Moon.
   2) Cameron was a Scottish pseudo-psychiatrist who tortured numerous
   patients. He is the founder of the World Psychiatric Association
   and its first formal president. He was also the president of the
   Canadian and American Psychiatric Associations in the 1950s. His
   chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully
   undignified Gemini Moon.
   3) Strauss-Kahn fits the list as a former IMF head and a man with
   extremely unmanly behavior towards women. If he were born early in
   the day his integrity score would be even lower than the figure
   listed. The noon chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler,
   Saturn as AK fully undignified in Leo, the Moon enjoying some
   dignity in Aries, but with a combust dispositor.
   4) Breivik is a Norwegian massmurderer described as "Islam-critical
   and Israel-friendly". He killed 77 people in and near Oslo in 2011.
   His chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK,
   fully undignified Virgo Moon.

   NOTE: The Moon refers to the Solar Moon (whose characteristics
   depend on the sign of the Sun).

   Perhaps the best thing about this update is that so many notorious
   dictators score below average integrity for the control. Only one
   score above average:

      Mao Zedong's (14.35; 36.88; 30.95)

   Five more charts score in the Orange category:

      Francisco Franco's (39.41; 39.45; 12.88)
      Josef Stalin's (32.98; 42.96; 12.72)
      Kim Jong-il's (19.85; 56.34; 10.88)
      Pol Pot's (55.25; 24.23; 10.68)
      Fidel Castro's (44.08; 41.42; 8.40)

   Two charts score in the Red:

      Vladimir Lenin's (14.67; 73.68; 5.88)
      Hu Jintao's (53.85; 36.52; 4.94)

   The remaining charts all score in the Dark Red:

      Ho Chi Minh's (69.75; 26.48; 1.96)
      Omar al-Bashir's (57.11; 39.40; 1.53)
      Benito Mussolini's (89.10; 7.72; 1.40)
      Adolf Hitler's (82.91; 13.80; 1.33)
      Hosni Mubarak's (57.73; 41.40; 0.44)

 * MORE CHANGE DETAILS TO FOLLOW IN A REFRESH AFTER CHRISTMAS (BE
   SURE TO BE MERRY!).


New in TP71
-----------

This is a major special update. New features include a delete chart
file command and atmakaraka analysis. The update includes quite a few
fixes and improvements to both text and graphics charts (especially
the aspect grid). A regular update will, God willing, be available
early next month. The analysis module in this update is a mix of both
old and new code. The regular update should see full atmakaraka
analysis and all new code for sankhya yoga analysis. The improvements
in this update include slightly increased statistical significance
and significantly increased average integrity score for the 715 public
figures.

This update yields the best statistical significance ever, but there
are still a few charts that score much too high and a great many that
score too low. I expect great improvements for individual charts in
the planned regular update, aiming to bring the scores for all charts
inline with expectations. I no longer expect the average integrity
score to rise above 12, and I doubt I can manage to increase
statistical significance much further, if at all. Instead I will focus
on bringing up more charts from the red categories in the C715 group
and bringing down all charts from the blue categories in the T1080.

Change details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * ACA: The new statistics show more charts scoring really low as well
   as more charts scoring really high. The updated analysis module
   avoids zero-based factors except for combustion, planetary war and
   cuspal placement. These factors very rarely hit zero. No major
   planet can have exactly zero essential dignity by sign, unless all
   of them completely lack dignity or strength, but with Gola Yoga and
   for a fallen higher planet, such as Venus, they can come very close.
   Planetary wars and cuspal placements have to be exact to yield zero
   dignity or strength.

New in TP65
-----------

This is a major special update. A regular update may, God willing, be
available early next month. Apart from a few fixes, this particular
update significantly sharpens the combustion factor, introduces letter
grades (A-F) for the six essential dignity levels, and adds atmakaraka
summary stats. It also adds gender as an optional extra item to the
extended chart information. Gender affects chart analysis by swapping
the primary and secondary essential dignity levels for women.

This update includes a few important fixes and a preliminary version
of the improved residence analysis promised when TP54 was released.
It yields the best statistical significance ever, but there are still
a few charts that score much too high and a great many that score too
low. Great improvements can be expected in the planned regular update
that will include a rewrite of the analysis module, aiming to bring
the scores for all charts inline with expectations.

The changes in this release mostly affect the automatic chart analysis
module and the influence list screen, but also include a correction in
the default essential dignity table. The integrity scores have changed
a lot for many charts. While the average integrity score for the C715
group of charts has risen very slightly, a huge number of charts now
score really low. One of the goals for the next regular update is to
greatly reduce the number of charts scoring integrity below 8 and also
to significantly raise the average integrity score. The sankhya yoga,
its ruler (SYR), Saturn and the atmakaraka (AK), the Sun and the Moon
will be the most important factors.

At last, this preview includes the new category limits to be employed
in the upcoming regular update. Two category names have also been
changed.

Change details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved with
   a new residence analysis, including weighted arithmetic and
   geometric mean dignities of the links in dispositor chains. Some
   relatively small, but statistically very significant, changes have
   been made to the sankhya yoga analysis. The essential dignity of
   Saturn now affects sankhya yoga dignity. The dignity of planets
   ruling sankhya yogas above the current also affect the dignity of
   the current sankhya yoga ruler.

   Different planets carry different weights when calculating the
   arithmetic and geometric means of the links in dispositor chains.
   Also the product of link dignities is weighted. By default this
   means that the dignity of Jupiter means less than the dignity of
   Saturn for the dignity bestowed a planet if both planets are links
   in the target planet's chain of dispositors. The weights are
   proportionate to the innate influences of the objects in the chain.
   The dignity of a zero influence object has no impact on the dignity
   bestowed a planet.

   An object can often contribute dignified influence to a dispositor
   even if the object completely lacks essential dignity in the sign
   it is in. The requirement is that the dispositor chain has some
   essential dignity. Apart from the essential dignity determined by
   the sign an object is sitiuated in, the arithmetic mean of the link
   dignities is the most important value controlling how much
   dignified influence a dispositor can receive.

   The Moon is about 25% more influential in this preview. It has been
   the most important object in the analysis for quite a while now,
   but its importance is hard to overestimate.

   Cuspal range has been extended to 3 degrees. This has the effect
   that only three charts in the T1080 group score above 67, which is
   inline with the intention to offer certain guarantees for charts
   scoring in different chart categories (see below).

   The combustion effect considers retrogradation and selects shorter
   ranges for Mercury and Venus when applicable. The effect also kicks
   in later than before and grows faster. Any planet closer than five
   degrees to the Sun is more than 99% combust. A planet should never
   be more than 50% combust when more than a degree outside of a core
   range. There is no combustion effect at 108,3% of a core range.
   Earlier only the essential dignity of the Sun counted when applying
   a final dignity reduction for a combust planet. Now the geometric
   mean of the Sun's essential dignity and that of the planet itself
   is used. This makes combustion more severe for planets lacking
   essential dignity in the sign they are placed in, and less severe
   for planets having essential dignity. These three changes have all
   improved statistical significance.

   Letter grades (A-F) for the six essential dignity levels have
   replaced the previously used initials of sometimes widely unknown
   internal terms. A raised dot indicates unknown/undefined essential
   dignity and is treated as the arithmetic mean of C and D. By
   default no indications come with undefined dignities. The so called
   crown dignity in earlier previews, more properly called domicile
   dignity, now gets an A (or a), the exalted dignity gets a B, the
   assisted dignity a C, the hindered dignity a D, the earlier, so
   called, debilitated dignity, often called fall, gets an E, and,
   like before, the lowest dignity gets an F.

   Gender matters for essential dignity. The chart for a woman with,
   by default, secondary dignities (especially a, b and c), will see
   the integrity score rise when the correct gender has been entered
   in the chart info (turning 'a' to 'A' and 'b' to 'B', etc.). The
   reverse is true if the chart features mostly primary dignities
   (turning 'A' to 'a', 'B' to 'b', etc.). If you are using a pointing
   device, you can click the new chart info label 'Gender' once for a
   man and twice for a woman. This will enter an 'M' for a man and a
   'W' for a woman (unless you have already entered something in the
   entry field, in which case you can now overwrite it by typing on
   the keyboard). If you enter an 'm' or a 'w', the 'm' becomes 'M'
   and the 'w' becomes 'W' when focus leaves the entry field.

   Default object influences have increased for Uranus (53), Neptune
   (34), Pluto (10) and the lunar nodes (100), and decreased for
   Lilith (5). The change for the lunar nodes is minor (98).

   The AK is still not a factor in the automatic chart analysis, but
   it will be in the next regular update. There were some wrong stats
   in one of the previous special updates (TP61). The correct stats
   are as follows: Mercury and the Sun are the most common atmakarakas
   in the C715 group, followed by Mars. Venus and Saturn clearly trail
   the rest. In the T1080 group Jupiter and Venus are the most common
   atmakarakas, followed by Saturn. In the atmakaraka summary stats,
   you can now view the average 'dignity' of the atmakarakas for a
   group of charts.

   Compared with special update TP60 this update includes a number of
   fixes and improvements. The chain integrity was wrong in some
   cases. It was also impossible to completely disable chaining. In
   addition, in the most recent earlier previews with all factors
   except debasement disabled, it was impossible to reach the expected
   50 percent integrity of the C715 control group. This was due to a
   compounding of essential dignity for all cases except where the
   dignity bestowed a planet was 100 percent. These issues have now
   been resolved. Although the statistical significance comparing
   average integrities for the T1080 and C715 groups of charts is less
   impressive using this preview, a number of other results make me
   favor this preview over the previous and the last regular update. A
   Canadian serial killer not included in the T1080 group scored
   greater than 70 percent integrity using TP60. The chart now scores
   below 52. A fallen atmakaraka, Mars in Taurus, and an otherwise
   fairly dignified Moon makes the chart likely to score yet lower
   integrity in the next preview. The Unabomber now scores integrity
   below average, and Nidal Malik, the pseudo-psychiatrist who killed
   13 people and wounded 30 others on a US army base, now scores
   significantly lower than before, putting his chart in the upper
   half of the Red category. Both charts feature severely afflicted
   atmakarakas, Jupiter in Gemini for the Unabomber and Mercury
   combust for the pseudo-psychiatrist. Josef Fritzl, the Austrian
   who kept his daughter and the three children he had with her
   captives in a cellar for 24 years, now scores much lower integrity
   than in any previous preview. His chart scored above 40 percent
   integrity using TP54. Now it scores below 20. Thanks to a highly
   undignified atmakaraka, Jupiter in Scorpio, the integrity score can
   be expected to drop even further in the next preview. No murderers
   score above 60 percent integrity using this preview and only three
   charts in the T1080 group score above 67. All three belong to
   people convicted of fraud. The two top scorers belong to a man and
   a woman. The current integrity score is 73 for both charts (TP65).
   According to classical astrology and supported by empirical tests,
   manly indications are less favorable for women and womanly
   indications less favorable for men. The pre-alpha will take gender
   into account and since the woman's chart features mostly or even
   exclusively manly indications, the integrity score can be expected
   to fall below the 67 limit. With the correct gender information
   entered, it is already below the limit using this update. Saturn as
   the AK will reduce the score even further. The man's chart features
   ideal womanly indications including Venus, the SYR, in Taurus. The
   chart for Josef Fritzl might also see a small additional drop since
   it too features mostly womanly indications, incl. Venus in Taurus.

   This preview introduces new category limits. The new limits combine
   seven essential dignity limits with seven sankhya yoga limits. The
   fourteen limits overlap each other, except for the red and green
   limits. Two categories have been renamed. The Black category is now
   called Dark Red and the Gray category is called Yellow Green. In
   the software they are abbreviated DR and YG.

      Integrity < 4 => 1. Dark Red (DR)
      Integrity < 8 => 2. Red (at least Yuga Yoga)
      Integrity < 16 => 3. Orange (at least Sula Yoga)
      Integrity < 33 => 4. Yellow (at least Pasa Yoga)
      Integrity < 42 => 5. YellowGreen (YG)
      Integrity < 58 => 6. Green
      Integrity < 67 => 7. Blue (at least Kedara Yoga)
      Integrity < 84 => 8. Indigo (at least Dama Yoga)
      Integrity < inf. => 9. Violet (at least Veena Yoga)

   The new statistics show more charts scoring really low. This is
   due to factors being multiplied together and also the use of a
   geometric mean in many places, which results in a great number of
   dispositor chains scoring zero, or very close to zero, dignity. The
   rewritten analysis module will avoid zero-based factors except for
   combustion, planetary war and cuspal placement. These factors very
   rarely hit zero.

   Neither the chart for US astrologer Isabel Hickey nor the chart for
   nazi dictator Adolf Hitler are included in the two chart groups.
   The same is true for all other charts representing astrologers and
   dictators. The correct gender has been entered for Isabel Hickey,
   but no changes have yet been made to any of the other charts.
   Correct gender info will be entered for all charts before the next
   regular update.

   The two top scoring charts in the control group are for US supreme
   court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and the well-known Danish
   author Hans Christian Andersen. The chart for Thomas Mann scores
   slightly lower in this preview (category 7).

   For the most extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall
   into the new Red or Dark Red categories and the inferiority score
   be at least five times the integrity score, or the integrity score
   fall into the Orange category and the inferiority score be at least
   six times the integrity score. The most notorious war criminals,
   scam artists, sociopaths, torturers, sadists, mass-murderers, and
   serial killers already easily satisfy this condition:

      Henry Kissinger (53,89 / 15,15 = 3,56) (1)
      Adolf Eichmann (38,36 / 6,10 = 6,29)
      Bernie Madoff (45,78 / 2,99 = 15,3)
      Tzipi Livni (82,71 / 2,33 = 35,5)
      Donald Ewen Cameron (74,33 / 0,74 = 100) (2)
      Timothy McVeigh (60,29 / 0,54 = 112)
      Bill Gates (91,18 / 0,64 = 142)
      Dominique Strauss-Kahn (74,15 / 0,52 = 143) (3)
      Anders Behring Breivik (68,09 / 0,39 = 175) (4)
      Harold Shipman (80,85 / 0,41 = 197)
      Marquis de Sade (50,78 / 0,24 = 212)
      Ted Bundy (87,26 / 0,39 = 224)

   1) In this release, Kissinger's chart does not qualify but is
   included for reference only. His chart did qualify in some earlier
   previews and should do so again in a future preview. His chart
   features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, AK enjoying exalted
   dignity in its sign - but its dispositor is combust, fully
   undignified Libra Moon.
   2) Cameron was a Scottish pseudo-psychiatrist who tortured numerous
   patients. He is the founder of the World Psychiatric Association
   and its first formal president. He was also the president of the
   Canadian and American Psychiatric Associations in the 1950s. His
   chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler, combust AK, fully
   undignified Gemini Moon.
   3) Strauss-Kahn fits the list as a former IMF head and a man with
   extremely unmanly behavior towards women. If he were born early in
   the day his integrity score would be even lower than the figure
   listed. The noon chart features Kedara Yoga with combust ruler,
   Saturn as AK fully undignified in Leo, the Moon enjoying some
   dignity in Aries, but with a combust dispositor.
   4) Breivik is a Norwegian massmurderer described as "Islam-critical
   and Israel-friendly" according to Wikipedia. He killed 77 people in
   and near Oslo earlier this year. His chart features Kedara Yoga
   with combust ruler, combust AK, fully undignified Virgo Moon.

   Perhaps the worst thing about this update is that so many dictators
   score above average integrity for the control, but at least their
   average is well below control average, and all 13 charts score in
   Orange or lower categories. Many of the integrity scores can be
   expected to fall below average in the next preview. The following
   four charts score above average for the control:

      Hu Jintao's (15,24; 72,75; 7,68)
      Fidel Castro's (12,53; 29,21; 56,96)
      Mao Zedong's (11,73; 13,07; 73,46)
      Vladimir Lenin's (10,51; 7,10; 80,58)

   Two more charts score in the Orange category:

      Josef Stalin's (9,23; 7,73; 77,62)
      Pol Pot's (8,60; 60,98; 29,48)

   Three charts score in the Red:

      Francisco Franco's (4,93; 45,14; 48,72)
      Adolf Hitler's (4,39; 64,62; 28,26)
      Benito Mussolini's (4,11; 92,85; 1,25)

   The remaining four charts all score in the Dark Red:

      Kim Jong-il's (1,51; 33,36; 64,72)
      Omar al-Bashir's (1,45; 40,41; 58,07)
      Hosni Mubarak's (0,74; 39,96; 59,01)
      Ho Chi Minh's (0,46; 58,86; 40,59)

 * Settings: A buggy default setting affected the essential dignity of
   the lunar nodes in the signs of Aries and Libra. The correct
   default, which is Rahu exalted in Libra, has now been set. Some
   other essential dignity defaults have also changed: The Moon, when
   acting as itself (which it mostly does not), is no longer exalted
   in Taurus and Libra, but instead in Pisces and Sagittarius. It is
   assisted in Scorpio and Aries. Also Mercury is assisted in the same
   signs (only swapping primary and secondary signs compared with the
   previous preview). Finally, the primary and secondary domiciles of
   the lunar nodes have been swapped.

 * Text: Chart/Influence list: The dispositors are weighted a little
   differently in this preview. For idealness the weights are 1/7
   through 7/7 in ascending order and for harmfulness the other way
   around. This means that all planets contribute something to both
   metrics and that the neutral planet Mercury contributes equally to
   both metrics with 4/7 and the benefic Jupiter contributes a little
   more (5/7) to idealness and a little less to harmfulness (3/7).

 * Graphics: Colorless mode has been fixed. All colors, without
   exception, are now colorless.

 * Text: Sign meanings have been updated. A few new keywords have been
   added, and six substitutions have been made.

 * Chart info files: Characters found beyond the internal limits of
   their respective character strings are no longer loaded.


New in TP54
-----------

This is a minor update containing small adjustments of the automatic
chart analysis. Since a relatively long time has passed since the last
preview and this one increases statistical significance this is a
fitting interim release until there is time to finish the bigger and
better improvements still ahead. These include reworked Sankhya Yoga,
planetary war, and also residence analysis. The latter is the backbone
of any chart analysis and results in a planet retaining all, some or
none of its innate influence. Such influence is always classified as
dignified. Influence which is not retained is transferred to the
planetary lord of the residence. In this and earlier previews a planet
that is a guest at another planet's residence and having no essential
dignity there loses all its influence. Currently the lord of the
residence receives this influence classified as 100% disgraced. A
planet enjoying some essential dignity always transfers some of its
influence classifed as dignified and the remainder as disgraced. In
the next preview the dignity of the dispositor will greatly affect how
transferred influence is classified as dignified and disgraced. The
result will be that some charts will see increased dignified influence
and reduced disgraced influence. This means, for instance, that the
there will be cases where the Sun in Aquarius will give Saturn
dignified influence despite the Sun having no essential dignity in
this sign. This can happen when the Sun's chain of dispositors carries
essential dignity. Note that the SUN will still, just as in this
preview, lose ALL of its influence. Preliminary testing shows that
this change might increase statistical significance. It should also
help raise the average integrity score, since there will be a way for
a planet to effectively operate at a more dignified level than its
residence would otherwise immediately suggest. The effect of a planet
operating at a less dignified level than its essential dignity by sign
is already in place in this preview, but will be reworked to favor
final dispostors and especially those enjoying full essential dignity.
This preview also has a new chart influence list with dispositor
analysis.

 * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved.

   Cuspal range is reduced to 2,5 degrees. The effect of placement
   within cuspal range only applies to regular planets and not to
   points in space, such as the lunar nodes. A cusped planet rapidly
   gains strength as its distance to the cusp increases. The increase
   follows a simple sine curve. These two changes have effectively
   reduced the cuspal factor and have for the first time brought
   positive statistical significance to this factor as revealed by
   the "cusped" diagnostic below. In the test group each and everyone
   of the seven classical planets has its influence more cusped than
   in the control! The planetary strength reduction within cuspal
   range is a mere 5% at 2 degrees, 41% at 1 degree, almost 70% at
   0,5 degrees and 100% at exactly 0 degrees.

   Minor dignities are now even more minor. The dignity levels are
   1 (domicile/rulership), 5/6 (exaltation) and 7/12 (down from 4/6).
   The default minor dignities for Mars and Venus have been reversed.
   This deviates from the traditional exalted dignity of Mars in
   Capricorn. The exact dignity level used in the automatic chart
   analysis is 5/12. Venus now has minor dignity in Aquarius and
   Capricorn and Mars in Leo and Cancer. As a result Venus in Leo or
   Cancer contributes less integrity and more inferiority than before.

   The atmakaraka, the planet who has advanced the farthest in any
   sign, is still without effect in the automatic chart analysis. The
   Sun is considered the natural atmakaraka. It generally spells
   better fortune, more fun and a more powerful self. Saturn shows
   worse fortune, more service and a less powerful self. If the AK
   is weak, for instance through a lack of essential dignity, the
   whole chart is supposed to be weak. Also if the AK is any other
   planet than the Sun or the Moon then the Sun and the Moon will lose
   influence to this planet. When using the automatic chart analysis
   it is always important to check the strength and dignity of the
   individual planets and not only the overall scores. The strongest
   dispositor planet in the chart is always a good starting point for
   an astrological interpretation (see Chart/Influence list). For
   Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Ho Chi Minh, Hu Jintao and Omar al-
   Bashir it is the diabolic and dictatorial Sun. For Hosni Mubarak it
   is the grandiose and ruthless Mars. For Josef Stalin it is the
   reckless and self-applauding Jupiter spelling a huge superiority
   complex, and for Mao Zedong the unkind and invincible Saturn with
   an even greater sense of superiority.

   The changes in this release have improved statistical significance
   for the cusped diagnostic, inferior disgrace, and the integrity
   score. The ordering of individual charts has probably not changed
   much, but individual differences in integrity have of course seen a
   a lot of changes as is the case for the charts of actress Sandra
   Bullock and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more
   sympathetic actress now scores 12,89 (17,04) and the chart for the
   less sympathetic dictator 6,37 (9,07).

   Neither the chart for astrologer Isabel Hickey nor the chart for
   nazi dictator Adolf Hitler are included in the two chart groups.
   The same is true for all other charts representing astrologers and
   dictators.

   The two top scoring charts in the control group are for US supreme
   court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and the well-known Danish
   author Hans Christian Andersen. The chart for Thomas Mann scores
   slightly lower in this preview (67,58).

   For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into the
   Orange or a lower category and the inferiority score be at least
   five times as great as the integrity score, or alternatively the
   inferiority score be at least six times as great as the integrity
   score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths,
   sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy
   this condition:

      Henry Kissinger (10,06 & 58,90 => 5,85*)
      Adolf Eichmann (5,58 & 38,63 => 7,02)
      Bernard Madoff (2,01 & 29,01 => 14,5)
      Bill Gates (4,09 & 70,35 => 17,2)
      Marquis de Sade (1,80 & 52,07 => 28,9)
      Dominique Strauss-Kahn (1,76 & 70,66 => 41,6)
      Tzipi Livni (1,86 & 87,94 => 48,9)
      Timothy McVeigh (1,12 & 65,48 => 59,5)
      Harold Shipman (1,18 & 82,99 => 75,4)
      Ted Bundy (0,42 & 67,79 => 169)

   * In this release Kissinger's chart is just short of qualifying,
   but in a future ACA revision his chart might qualify depending on
   the strength or weakness of the atmakaraka.

   With this release only two dictators score above average for the
   control and most score in the Orange or lower categories. The top
   two charts belong to Mao Zedong (20,36; 5,29; 71,77) and Fidel
   Castro (10,22; 31,56; 57,13). All the remaining charts score below
   the average for the control. Four charts score in the Yellow
   category: Francisco Franco's (6,85; 44,34; 47,53), Hu Jintao's
   (6,37; 80,69; 11,19), Josef Stalin's (6,28; 9,18; 80,49) and
   Vladimir Lenin's (6,27; 5,94; 86,75). Two charts score in the
   Orange: Benito Mussolini's (4,36; 91,56; 2,35) and Adolf Hitler's
   (4,11; 61,47; 32,10). One chart scores in the Red: Pol Pot's (1,86;
   76,27; 21,42). The remaining four charts all score in the Black:
   Hosni Mubarak's (0,72; 44,15; 54,83), Ho Chi Minh's (0,44; 67,32;
   32,10), Omar al-Bashir's (0,41; 55,36; 44,19) and Kim Jong-il's
   (0,33; 33,22; 66,38).

   The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of
   all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of
   building the control. Its average integrity score is 11,07 with a
   category average of 3,89. 41,51% of the charts score in the Gray or
   higher categories.

   The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts:
   235 registered sex offenders (7,13; 49,06; 41,70), 244 past and
   present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,51; 52,01; 38,26), 100 white
   female murderers (8,05; 48,54; 40,86), 105 assorted serial rapists
   and killers (7,21; 51,06; 39,72), and 189 people convicted of first
   degree murder (7,39; 50,32; 40,29). One subgroup scores well above
   average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in
   prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 9,02.

   This preview adds object influence aggregation as a final step in
   the chart analysis. It has no effect on any overall metrics, such
   as the chart integrity score, but simply gathers the influence of
   all the included objects under six ultimate dispositors. Since only
   the classical planets (rulers of the 12 signs of the zodiac) can
   act as dispositors no other objects can receive influence anyway.
   The system thus transfers any influence retained by other objects
   to these ultimate dispositor objects. In this scheme, the Sun and
   the Moon together reveal the mentality and the brain as a physical
   organ. The Sun is to the Moon as Yang is to Yin, ie. the Sun
   represents both the brain as whole and more specifically the left-
   side, while the Moon specifically represents the right-side. Any
   influence carried by the Moon when acting as the dispositor for
   Cancer or retained when representing itself is transferred to the
   Sun. When the Moon represents another planet based on its aspect
   to the Sun its retained influence is transferred to the planet it
   represents. Upon completion of this step there is an even number of
   six ultimate dispositors, each responsible for two signs (one manly
   and one womanly).

   Following this release, three planned major improvements remain
   to be implemented. Two will impact all charts: A redesign of the
   Sankhya Yoga analysis and a more dynamic residence analysis. The
   third will only affect a select group of charts. It targets
   planetary wars in the same sign as the Sun, which are not greatly
   or fully affected by combustion. In this and previous releases such
   wars are practically ignored as only the Sun is recorded as the
   winner. The charts affected by the necessarily much more complex
   code change are quite few. A short list includes the charts for the
   following people: Richard Nixon, Charles Manson, Adolf Hitler,
   Thomas Watt Hamilton and Theodore Kaczynski. In the case of Nixon's
   chart the change will have little effect in absolute terms as his
   chart already scores in the Red, while it may have great effect on
   the chart for the Una Bomber as the planetary war involves the
   sankhya yoga ruler and the chart's current score puts it in the
   upper Gray. If you come across any other charts which deviate from
   what you expect with regard to the integrity score please let me
   know. In particular I know of no charts for serial killers, war
   criminals, serial rapists or mass murderers which score in the Blue
   or higher categories using this preview. The category limits will
   change in the next preview. The new limits will reflect the dignity
   levels innate to the seven sankhya yogas plus the two new minor
   residence dignity levels. With these new limits it will be possible
   to attach certain astrological guarantees to the charts in each
   category based on the minimum sankhya yoga required to qualify in
   a particular category. The system will no longer be calibrated to
   yield an average integrity score of 10,00 for the C715 control
   group. The average is therefore expected to land higher, probably
   somewhere between 10 and 20.

 * Text: Chart/Influence list: Object analysis has been replaced by
   dispositor analysis, which is a listing of the objects capable of
   receiving influence from other objects. Below the basic absolute
   numbers for total, dignified and disgraced influence, there are six
   new tables. On the first row you find "Balance", "Benevolence" and
   "Disgrace". Each value listed in these three tables is relative the
   ideal value for the planet, which is based on the initial influence
   set for the planet plus the influence of any other planets it lords
   over. On the second and last row you find "Dignity", "Idealness"
   and "Harmfulness". Dignity is dignified influence relative total
   influence. Idealness and harmfulness is the same as benevolence and
   disgrace for each planet, but expressed relative the planet's
   balance for balance values exceeding 100%. A planet's idealness and
   flawedness/harmfulness can thus never exceed 100%. The bottom line
   averages are weighted means. The planets' weights correspond with
   the dignity of the associated sankhya yoga for the idealness
   average and its opposite for the harmfulness average, thus the Sun
   can never contribute idealness and Saturn never harmfulness.
   Mercury and Jupiter both carry the same weight (0,5). In this
   preview most charts show an excess of plus signs, minus signs, and
   exclamation marks.

 * Text: The "Meanings" of a few signs have changed slightly, notably
   adding the keywords "rich" to Cancer and "poor" to Aquarius. Libra
   has lost the keywords "neurotic" to Gemini and "calm" to Leo. The
   latter change can be considered a textual bugfix, since Libra is
   perhaps one of the least calm signs and the most restless and
   unstable.

The primary reason for this release is to provide a fix for a bug in
the automatic chart analysis. The bug was semantic, in the sense that
the code did what it was supposed to do, but still not exactly what
was originally intended. The effect was that integrity for charts with
undignified sign placements saw a boost that was proportionately
greater than for those with dignified sign placements. Some other
changes and additions have also been made, but nothing major. The
bigger and better release is still ahead.

 * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved.

   Fixed a semantic bug in the substitution algorithm that increased
   dignified influence for less than fully dignified sign placements
   beyond the essential dignity of the planet in the sign. This had
   a proportionately greater effect on less dignified placements than
   for more dignified, thus changing the code to never go beyond the
   essential dignity limit has increased statistical significance. It
   also means that the integrity score should never be able to exceed
   the total chart influence minus debased influence.

   The atmakaraka, the planet who has advanced the furthest in any
   sign, is now presented next to the Sankhya Yoga for the current
   chart. You can also choose "Atmakarakas" from the "Stats" menu to
   see the atmakaraka distribution for the currently selected group of
   charts. Only the 7 classical planets can become atmakarakas in this
   release.

   The effect of cuspal placement has been decreased in general and
   also changed for the Sun, Venus, Mars and Saturn, so that the Sun
   and Mars are less cusped in so called infancy, ie placement very
   early in a sign, and Venus and Saturn are less cusped in old age,
   or very late in a sign. The exact implemention will change in the
   next release. The full range of this factor is still 15 degrees,
   but the practical effect is minute until a planet comes closer
   than about five degrees from a cusp.

   The effect of combustion and planetary wars should now vary more
   depending on the planets involved. In general the outcome can be
   more benign, unless the planets are completely antagonistic. In
   some cases a so called war or even combustion can improve the
   dignity of a planet. This can be the case if the losing planet is
   undignified in the sign it is in.

   Influence chaining (introduced in the previous release) matter less
   in this release, but still serves to give the charts that need it
   greater inferiority scores, such as that for serial rapist and
   probable serial killer Anthony Sowell. In the next release, which
   will incorporate the atmakaraka as an important factor, his chart
   may see an even greater inferiority score, it already exceeds 70.
   A bug in the influence chaining routine has also been fixed, very
   slightly improving statistical significance.

   The changes in this release has improved statistical significance
   for a lot of values including the integrity score, but also
   debasement (lack of essential dignity), polarization (secondary
   instead of primary dignity in sign), and cuspal placement in
   particular. For the first time there are now charts in the control
   group scoring in the highest category. The ordering of individual
   charts has also changed in many places, or their distance has
   increased as is the case for the charts of actress Sandra Bullock
   and dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic
   actress now scores 17,04 (up from 14,38) and the chart for the less
   sympathetic dictator only 9,07 (down from 9,59).

   For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into the
   Orange or a lower category and the inferiority score be at least
   five times as great as the integrity score, or alternatively the
   inferiority score be at least six times as great as the integrity
   score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths,
   sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy
   this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,55 & 56,25 => 5,89), Adolf
   Eichmann (5,23 & 47,61 => 9,10), Bernard Madoff (1,88 & 30,44 =>
   16,2), Bill Gates (4,09 & 70,35 => 17,2), Tzipi Livni (2,53 & 85,85
   => 33,9), Marquis de Sade (1,39 & 52,80 => 38,0), Timothy McVeigh
   (1,69 & 75,20 => 44,5), Harold Shipman (1,46 & 90,33 => 61,9), Ted
   Bundy (0,87 & 72,03 => 82,8). In this release Kissinger does not
   qualify, but since his atmakaraka is Mars he will have no trouble
   fitting the bill in the next release.

   With this release only three dictators score above average for the
   control and most score in the Orange or lower. The top three charts
   belong to Mao Zedong (23,75; 5,27; 67,14), Fidel Castro (18,46;
   26,56; 53,08) and Francisco Franco (10,57; 47,21; 40,32). All the
   remaining charts score below the average for the control. Three
   charts score in the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,07; 81,77;
   4,68), Benito Mussolini's (7,32; 88,07; 1,82), and Josef Stalin's
   (6,93; 32,47; 57,60). Two charts score in the Orange, Adolf
   Hitler's (4,76; 79,59; 12,81) and Vladimir Lenin's (3,53; 9,81;
   85,51), and another two in the red, Pol Pot's (1,67; 86,47; 11,43)
   and Hosni Mubarak's (1,32; 53,42; 44,73). The remaining charts
   score in the Black: Omar al-Bashir's (0,60; 47,93; 51,41), Ho Chi
   Minh's (0,53; 78,98; 20,32) and Kim Jong-il's (0,23; 54,13; 45,47).

   The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of
   all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of
   building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,54 with a
   category average of 3,85. 35,85% of the charts score in the Gray or
   higher categories.

   The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts:
   235 registered sex offenders (7,08; 48,82; 41,07); 244 past and
   present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,58; 51,76; 37,54); 100 white
   female murderers (8,53; 47,67; 39,98); 105 assorted serial rapists
   and killers (6,95; 50,65; 39,39); and 189 people convicted of first
   degree murder (7,57; 49,85; 39,46). One subgroup scores well above
   average for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in
   prison for fraud have an average integrity score of 8,86.

 * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved.

   Fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first
   three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have more
   than half of the control charts score in Yellow or higher category,
   at least a third in Gray or higher, and fewer than one tenth in the
   Black. This release meets the first two goals and also manages to
   push down the number of control charts in the Black category from
   over 14% in TP39 to just under 11%. Fixing a bug inadvertently
   reducing dignified influence more than was intended for some charts
   with Pasa yoga or lower sankhya yogas has contributed to this
   reduction. Also other improvements to the sankhya yoga algorithm,
   as well as to most of the other factors have contributed greater
   statistical significance.

   The essential dignity of the Sun has increased in importance. If
   the Sun enjoys zero dignity then all the planets will be reduced
   to their minimum power (brightness), which will affect their
   dignity, strength and susceptibility to the chaining effect. For a
   fully dignified Sun this change has no effect.

   The retrogradation subfactor of essential dignity and strength in
   sign, which could boost these values for retrograde Jupiter and
   Saturn, no longer depends on velocity (direct/retrograde motion),
   but instead considers estimated brightness based on elongation. The
   brighter the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune)
   the greater the boost to dignity and strength. Conversely, below
   average brightness can reduce the same values. Since the charts for
   criminals in the test group tend to have these planets darker than
   the charts for public figures in the control, this feature has good
   statistical effect.

   The range of the cuspal factor, or strength in sign, has been
   extended to its maximum 15 degrees (up from 12 degrees), while the
   overall effect has been toned down leaving less influence cusped
   than in TP39.

   The scorching factor, or combustion in general speak, now kicks in
   later than before, but also grows more quickly on approach towards
   the Sun. This change has meant a slight increase in scorched
   influence and a very clear increase in statistical significance.

   A new feature is called influence chaining, which is a recursive
   process which passes on received (primarily undignified, but also
   some dignified) influence in the same way innate influence is
   transferred through the regular substitution process. Only objects
   with some innate influence can retain received influence. This
   feature has mixed impact on statistical significance, but serves
   to give the charts that need it greater inferiority scores, such as
   that for serial rapist and probable serial killer Anthony Sowell.

   The outcome of the sankhya yoga algorithm is now more predictable
   from the Numbered diagnostic. A value below 50 predicts a possible
   increase in dignified influence. A value above 50 always results in
   decreased influence if possible. With this revision the sankhya
   yoga ruler has strength to retain some dignified influence. This
   has boosted the integrity score for Albert Einstein's chart from
   red to orange.

   Compared to the unofficial bug fix release (TP48) the increase in
   statistical significance is minute. Instead the major statistical
   change in this release is the increase of the number of charts
   scoring in the Gray and higher categories. The ordering of
   individual charts has also changed in many places. One example is
   the order reversal of the charts for actress Sandra Bullock and
   dictator Hu Jintao, where the chart for the more sympathetic
   actress now scores above average (14,38) and the chart for the less

   Compared to the last official release (TP39) this preview changes
   the integrity limits for the Yellow and Indigo categories as
   follows.

      Integrity < 1 => 1. Black
      Integrity < 3 => 2. Red
      Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange
      Integrity < 10 => 4. Yellow
      Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray
      Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green
      Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue
      Integrity < 70,0 => 8. Indigo
      Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet

   This results in an easy to remember number series (1,2,3,4) for
   the ranges covered by the first four categories now representing
   integrity scores below average for the C715 public control group.
   The TP49 chart distribution by category, using the integrity limits
   listed above, is as follows:

                      C715    T1080

      1. Black (%):   10,63   11,20
      2. Red (%):     15,52   22,87
      3. Orange (%):  19,44   21,48
      4. Yellow (%):  17,06   17,59
      5. Gray (%):    25,31   19,35
      6. Green (%):    7,55    5,56
      7. Blue (%):     3,64    1,48
      8. Indigo (%):   0,84    0,46
      9. Violet (%):   0,00    0,00
      ---------------------   -----
      Five+ (%):      37,34   26,85

   Obviously this categorization is very rough and there will be many
   individual differences that can be discerned by looking at the
   influence distribution over planets, as well as factors outside of
   astrology, including, but not limited to status of parents, country
   and cultural setting, etc. Astrology can predict a bad childhood,
   but the exact details will of course vary with the context. There
   are also additional astrological factors such as timing, which
   determine if a given potential can materialize or not.

   For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into the
   Orange or a lower category and the inferiority score be at least
   five times as great as the integrity score, or alternatively the
   inferiority score be at least six times as great as the integrity
   score. The most notorious war criminals, scam artists, sociopaths,
   sadists, mass-murderers, and serial killers already easily satisfy
   this condition: Henry Kissinger (9,61 & 59,60 => 6,20), Adolf
   Eichmann (3,26 & 42,81 => 13,1), Marquis de Sade (2,01 & 29,97 =>
   14,9), Bernard Madoff (2,26 & 44,90 => 19,9), Tzipi Livni (3,60 &
   72,02 => 20,0), Bill Gates (1,83 & 93,39 => 51,0), Harold Shipman
   (1,36 & 91,16 => 67,0), Timothy McVeigh (1,11 & 91,29 => 82,2), and
   Ted Bundy (0,72 & 96,37 => 134).

   With this release only three dictators score above average for the
   control and most score in the Red. The top three charts belong to
   Fidel Castro (31,0; 21,0; 44,9), Mao Zedong (23,6; 14,3; 58,1) and
   Francisco Franco (11,7; 41,8; 43,7). All the remaining charts score
   integrity below the average for the control. Two charts score in
   the Yellow category: Hu Jintao's (9,6; 76,2; 8,5) and Josef
   Stalin's (6,9; 25,1; 64,8). Four charts score in the Orange: Adolf
   Hitler's (4,9; 84,7; 7,5), Benito Mussolini's (4,8; 88,5; 4,7),
   Vladimir Lenin's (4,1; 20,9; 72,2) and Pol Pot's (3,8; 77,2; 17,8).
   The remaining charts score in the Red: Kim Jong-il's (1,7; 40,2;
   56,6), Hosni Mubarak's (1,5; 29,7; 68,3), Ho Chi Minh's (1,1; 55,7;
   60,2) and Omar al-Bashir's (1,0; 42,4; 56,4).

   The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges consisting of
   all the supreme court justices of the United States at the time of
   building the control. Its average integrity score is 10,64 with a
   category average of 3,9. 39,62% of the charts score in the Gray or
   higher categories.

   The test group has the following subgroups of at least 100 charts:
   235 registered sex offenders (7,3; 48,5; 40,4); 244 past and
   present inmates on Alabama deathrow (7,8; 51,6; 36,9); 100 white
   female murderers (8,5; 49,3; 37,6); 105 assorted serial rapists and
   killers (7,3; 50,7; 38,2); and 189 people convicted of first degree
   murder (7,8; 49,3; 39,2). One subgroup scores well above average
   for the test group as a whole: The charts for 92 people in prison
   for fraud have an average integrity score of 9,0.

New in TP39
-----------

 * ACA: The automatic chart analysis module has been improved.

   Some primary and secondary essential dignities have been switched,
   see Help/Planets for a listing of all essential dignities. You can
   change these using the same command-line options as in the original
   Astrolog software.

   The Moon's programmatic influence has been increased again. The
   Moon was already in the previous release by far the most important
   object, but its weight is now even greater, improving statistical
   significance. Currently the Moon carries about four times the
   actual influence of the average planet (its own influence plus that
   of its accidental rulership based on its sign aspect with the Sun).
   Only the Moon has this programmatic influence increase. All the
   other objects carry the exact influences shown in the Object
   settings dialogs.

   The analysis module has been tested for effectiveness using the
   same test and control groups as used with the previous releases.
   The average integrity score for the criminal test group is now 79%
   of that of the average for the control group, which is down from
   about 86% in TP22.

   A new diagnostic has been added to independently track the effect
   of placement in primary and secondary dignity. A placement is
   recorded as Polarized when having secondary essential dignity. In
   theory this should indicate the womanly complement. Initial testing
   using mostly untimed charts for 196 lesbians yields a Polarized
   average of 49,69. The corresponding figure produced using mostly
   untimed charts for 244 homosexual males is 52,38.

   The expanded analysis output for the control and test groups using
   program defaults (7 planets plus the lunar nodes) is as follows:

                       C715    T1080   IH      AH

   You may notice that the Cusped diagnostic for the first time shows
   a slightly higher value for the control than for the test group.
   This can be explained by the Moon's greatly increased weight in
   this release and the fact that most of the charts in the test group
   are untimed. With the Moon disabled the corresponding figures are
   29,10 for the control and 29,12 for the test group. It is my
   prediction that if only accurately timed charts are used the
   statistical significance will be a lot greater, especially with the
   Moon enabled. In this release the cusp range extends 12 degrees
   from each cusp.

   The inferiority score should reveal potential for antisocial
   behavior. Inferior disgrace can also show forth as childishness,
   incompetence and excessive humility. An inferiority score below ten
   in combination with a strong sidereal rising sign should rule out
   the possibility of severe antisocial behavior, including violent
   extremes such as all rape and torture, cruelty to animals, pseudo-
   psychiatry, as well as any state-sanctioned unlawful killing, such
   as capital punishments in some countries, killing of unborn
   children, euthanasia, genocide and suicide. The strong sidereal
   rising signs are Aquarius, Capricorn, Libra and Taurus. If the
   inferiority score is greater than the integrity score and either
   Jupiter, Venus or Saturn is very weak (registering very little
   influence) there can be intellectual, social or universal/spiritual
   retardation. In the case of a weak Saturn health problems and
   dyslexia can also be predicted.

   For extreme sociopaths the integrity score should fall into a
   Yellow or lower category and the inferiority score be at least
   five times as great as the integrity score. The most notorious war
   criminals, scam artists, sociopaths, sadists, mass-murderers, and
   serial killers already easily satisfy this condition: Tzipi Livni
   (6,7 & 42,4 => 6,3), Henry Kissinger (8,3 & 62,3 => 7,5), Bernard
   Madoff (4,1 & 82,7 => 20,2), Bill Gates (2,0 & 84,0 => 42,0),
   Timothy McVeigh (1,2 & 54,0 => 45), Marquis de Sade (1,0 & 45,6 =>
   45,6), Adolf Eichmann (0,9 & 41,4 => 46), Harold Shipman (0,9 &
   86,7 => 96,3), and Ted Bundy (0,5 & 91,0 => 182).

   The superiority score should reveal potential hypersocial behavior,
   including infidelity and adultery (without antisocial intent), and
   a lack of respect for people in general. High superiority scores
   should also be indicative of repression and lack of authenticity,
   humility and bravery. People with a weak Sun and an emphasis on
   superiority are less likely to know themselves and are consequently
   also less likely to know the people around them. Charts with a
   superiority score exceeding 50% or at least twice as great as the
   integrity and with a margin greater than the inferiority score
   should reveal a genuine superiority complex. If the superiority
   score is greater than the integrity score and either the Sun, Mars
   or Mercury is very weak (registering very little influence) there
   can be mental, analytical or sensual retardation. In the case of
   a weak Mercury problems with concentration and memory can be
   predicted.

   With this revision, 4 of the 13 dictators included in the Astrolog
   for OS/2 Chart Collection score above average integrity for the
   control: Fidel Castro (31,1; 15,9; 49,5), Mao Zedong (27,8; 31,8;
   35,0), Hu Jintao (15,2; 65,1; 12,9), and Francisco Franco (12,7;
   41,7; 43,0). All the remaining charts score integrity below the
   average for the control, as well as below the average for the
   criminal test group, including those of Josef Stalin (7,7; 17,9;
   69,9) and Pol Pot (7,4; 56,7; 32,9). The following charts all score
   integrity below category 4, i.e. more than half of the control
   charts score higher integrity: Adolf Hitler's (3,4; 85,8; 8,8),
   Vladimir Lenin's (2,7; 35,0; 60,0), Benito Mussolini's (1,8; 92,7;
   4,8), Ho Chi Minh's (1,6; 37,5; 60,2), Kim Jong-il's (1,3; 36,9;
   60,3), Hosni Mubarak's (0,8; 61,7; 37,2), Omar al-Bashir's (0,4;
   32,2; 67,3).

   The control group includes a subgroup of 106 judges (all the
   supreme court justices of the United States at the time of building
   the control). Its average integrity score is 10,29 with a category
   average of 3,75. 42,45% of the charts score in a Gray or higher
   category.

   The test group includes the following subgroups of at least 100
   charts: 235 registered sex offenders (7,6; 49,7; 38,7); 244 past
   and present inmates on Alabama deathrow (8,1; 51,0; 36,8); 100
   white female murderers (8,4; 50,3; 36,6); 105 assorted serial
   rapists and killers (7,5; 48,6; 39,6); and 189 people convicted of
   first degree murder (7,7; 50,4; 37,9). One subgroup scores well
   above average for the test group as a whole: 92 people in prison
   for fraud (first and second degree) have an average integrity
   score of 9,0.

   The updated chart analysis module also produces a new category
   output, which for now simply divides the integrity range in nine
   different bands, with the fifth starting about halfway between the
   criminal test group average and the control group average, and
   ending exactly a ninth the distance towards full from the latter.
   The fourth category surrounds the criminal test group average.

   This category output makes it easier to track chart distribution
   and may in later releases also be augmented with constraints based
   on the inferiority and superiority scores. In the pre-alpha the
   user will be able to adjust these limits, but for this initial
   release they are fixed as follows:

      Integrity < 1 => 1. Black
      Integrity < 3 => 2. Red
      Integrity < 6 => 3. Orange
      Integrity < 9 => 4. Yellow
      Integrity < 20 => 5. Gray
      Integrity < 33,3 => 6. Green
      Integrity < 50,0 => 7. Blue
      Integrity < 66,7 => 8. Indigo
      Integrity < 100,1 => 9. Violet

   Slighty fewer than half of the control charts show up in the first
   three categories. A goal for the pre-alpha will be to have at least
   a third of control charts score in the Gray or higher categories,
   and fewer than one tenth in the Black. For a new control consisting
   of the 75 232 noon (UTC) charts spanning the seven last cycles of
   Saturn the share currently scoring in the Black is 15,4%. I hope to
   bring this down in the pre-alpha, so that fewer than one ninth
   register in the Black. The average integrity score is 9,01. The
   category distribution for the C715 and T1080 groups, using the
   integrity limits mentioned earlier, is as follows:

      Charts (n):       715     1080

   If you have any ideas for additional analysis factors to include or
   tests you would like to see done please contact me. All data used
   are available to the public via the Internet. I would appreciate if
   you let me know of any timed charts for serial killers that score
   in the Blue or higher categories, there should not be any!

   Note: Starting with this release you have to enable chart analysis
   on the new Analysis menu. You can also selectively disable one or
   more features of the ACA module, and turn on/off diagnostics.

 * Stats Function: You can have the software gather statistics for a
   group of charts by selecting Enable on the new Stats menu. The
   current chart will be added and all subsequently analyzed charts as
   well. The stats will only be reset when you select Reset on the
   Stats menu or use the First Chart or Last Chart commands on the
   File menu.

 * Chart Show: Akin to a picture slide show you can create a show of
   astrological charts by selecting Auto Repeat on the File menu.
   Start the show by pressing Ctrl+PgUp for the previous or Ctrl+PgDn
   for the next chart in sequence. Another chart will be loaded
   automatically at the set timer interval specified from the
   Animation menu. To pause you can press Ctrl+Pause. To resume use
   the same key combination again and restart.


Standing notes on the ACA feature
---------------------------------

   ===================
   DISPOSITOR ANALYSIS
   ===================

   Dispositor analysis is a text listing of the objects capable of
   receiving influence from other objects. It is available from TP54
   onward. Below the basic absolute numbers for total, dignified and
   disgraced influence, there are six tables. On the first row you
   find "Dignity", "Esteem" and "Disgrace". In the first table some
   dignified influence and no disgraced yields 100% dignity. The
   second table shows dignified influence divided by ideal influence.
   The third table presents disgraced influence divided by a value
   close to but always less than ideal influence. The ideal influence
   for a dispositor is based on the innate influence set for the
   planet plus the influence of any other planets it lords over. For
   the Sun the ideal influence amounts to the innate influence of the
   Sun plus that of the Moon. It also includes the influence of the
   Solar Moon, a special object sharing its placement with the normal
   Moon object, but with characteristics based on the sign aspect cast
   by the Sun. The Solar Moon is by default the most influential
   object, but if either the Sun or the normal Moon is assigned zero
   influence then the Solar Moon is assigned zero influence as well.
   On the second and last row you find "Balance", "Benevolence" and
   "Malevolence". Balance is total influence divided by a weighted
   mean of ideal influence and full disgrace. If dignity is 100% the
   weighted mean equals ideal influence, if dignity is 0% it equals
   full disgrace. Benevolence and Malevolence are the same as Esteem
   and Disgrace, but expressed relative the planet's Balance for
   balance values exceeding 100%. A planet's Benevolence and
   Malevolence can never exceed 100%. The bottom line averages are
   weighted means. The weight carried by a planet increases with the
   dignity of the associated sankhya yoga for the Benevolence average
   and the reverse for the Malevolence average, thus the Sun
   contributes the least to the Benevolence average and Saturn the
   least to the Malevolence average. The weight assigned Mercury is
   exactly the same in both averages.

   To the right of the percentages you may find signs indicating
   especially noteworthy values. Stars highlight values pointing to
   benevolent abilities and strengths, minuses show deficiencies,
   plusses excesses, and exclamation marks malevolent character
   traits to be watched extra carefully. There can be one to four
   instances of each sign, with 1 indicating the lowest magnitude
   and 4 the highest.

     *    = promising              !    = ominous
     **   = good                   !!   = malignant
     ***  = very good              !!!  = severely malignant
     **** = excellent              !!!! = extremely malignant

     +    = excessive              -    = lacking
     ++   = clearly excessive      --   = clearly insufficient
     +++  = severely excessive     ---  = severely insufficient
     ++++ = extremely excessive    ---- = extremely insufficient

   The specific interpretation depends on the planet. For the Sun,
   stars indicate authenticity, material control/dignity, beneficial
   publicity, faith, good fortune, productivity, dignified privacy, a
   well-functioning brain, etc. Exclamation marks can reveal childish
   and diabolic behavior, along with gullibility, selfishness, greed,
   bad temper, crankiness, a lot of talk and arrogance, addiction,
   melancholy and depression. When found under benevolence, plus signs
   can show too much of a good thing, such as too much publicity, too
   much power, too much fun, or being too rich. Minus signs for the
   Sun reveal deficiencies of the brain and a lack of material fortune.
   There is less enjoyment in life and most obviously less public and
   private dignity, little or no bravery or lack of shyness and
   prudence. So long as its dignity exceeds 50%, an insufficient Sun
   can be interpreted as merely a weak sense of self, but there can
   also be more severe issues, such as mental disability and mental
   illness, including fraud, severe mood swings and brain injuries,
   Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases, or ALS. A short summary with
   keywords for all six dispositor planets can be found below.
  	  For the first three categories, roughly between a third and two
   thirds of the keywords should apply to any particular chart with
   stars, exclamation points or plusses. Many keywords only apply to
   one of the two signs ruled by the planet and if that sign is not
   emphasized in the chart those keywords will miss the mark to some
   extent. A few of the keywords, usually listed last in the category,
   only apply in extreme cases. More keywords can be found in the
   program through Help/Meanings. For each sign, the first seven or so
   keywords apply to the star category. The last keywords before the
   final comma apply to the malignant category. All of the keywords in
   the minus lists are applicable to ACA results indicating extremely
   insufficient balance. For lack of benevolence, the relevance of the
   minus lists increase if there are exclamation marks next to the
   planet's opposite. A few of the minus list assertions are only
   relevant to a lack of balance, not benevolence alone.

   The first two tables on each row never show any exclamation marks,
   as there is never anything ominous about their values. Conversely,
   the last table on each row never shows any stars, as its values are
   never promising. Instead dots are used to indicate safe values. A
   single dot indicates a possibly safe value, two dots a usually safe
   value, three dots a very safe value and four dots shows there is
   extremely little or exactly nothing to worry about with regard to
   that particular planet. In general, the actual safety of a planet
   showing something other than a perfectly safe value (three or fewer
   dots) also depends on the benevolence of its opposite planet. A
   possibly safe value for an individual planet is only safe most of
   the time if average benevolence is not lacking and the planet's
   opposite has sufficient benevolence. A possibly safe overall value
   is only safe if average benevolence is not lacking. In case of
   severely insufficient benevolence only completely safe values can
   be considered safe.

         = possibly safe         (!    = ominous)
        = usually safe          (!!   = malignant)
       = very safe             (!!!  = severely malignant)
      = safe                  (!!!! = extremely malignant)

   Similarities between Planets of Similar Evolutionary Development
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   There are similarities between the first three planets, and also
   between the last three. These similarities are no coincidence, but
   due to the fact that the first three planets are inferior and the
   last three are superior (opposite the inferior). When strong, the
   inferior planets show speed of learning and ability to assert one-
   self. They are braver, more courageous, bolder, more genuine and
   honest than the superior, but also less experienced, less secure,
   more timid, more against things and more prone to fault-finding,
   one of them can even find faults when there are no faults to be
   found. When introverted they show potential for violence, killing
   and aggression. The superior planets reveal greater awareness, a
   sense of morality and justice, smartness and neatness, and capacity
   to consider, understand and accept other people. They are older,
   more laid back and less prejudiced, but when introverted also more
   prone to narcissism, victimization, and in the case of Jupiter
   assumption of insight or being right without any evidence or even
   a hint to that effect.
     People with severe disorders of inferiority, shown as inferior
   disgrace exceeding chart integrity, including psychopaths, serial
   killers and alcoholics should always have one or more exclamation
   marks next to one of the inferior planets. People with disorders of
   superiority, such as crooks, fraudsters and perverts should have
   one or more exclamation marks next to one of the superior planets.
   More specifically, for a rapist the mark should be next to Mercury
   and for a crook (a dishonest, unsympathetic, not so clever, but
   usually non-violent offender) next to Jupiter. The requirement is
   lessened only if overall benevolence is insufficient or overall
   malevolence is ominous or worse. In this case it is enough that the
   specific malevolence value is unsafe (no dots).
     For dictators the inferiority/superiority distribution tends to
   follow ideological lines with fascists, such as Mussolini and his
   even more infamous follower, Hitler, having greater emphasis on
   inferiority, and socialists, such as Lenin and Stalin, stressing
   superiority. To recapitulate, inferiority complexes are associated
   with the inferior planets and are thus indicated by exclamation
   points next to the Sun, Mars and Mercury (the young, material or
   direct, and potentially childish and arrogant, selfish and greedy
   planets); superiority complexes are associated with the superior
   planets and are thus revealed by exclamation points next to
   Jupiter, Venus and Saturn (the mature, lofty or detached, and
   potentially crafty and depraved, poor and envious planets).
   Capitalism requires significant inferior disgrace and socialism
   significant superior disgrace. Both require lack of faith and
   humility. Most people are neither capitalists nor socialists. Some
   de facto capitalists advocate socialism for everyone else. The
   analysis results for these people's charts show exclamation marks
   next to both inferior and superior planets.

   Similarities between Opposite Planets
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   There are also similarities between opposites: Both Mercury and
   Jupiter are mutable planets. While Mercury rules honesty and verbal
   communication (voice, spelling and grammar), Jupiter rules Truth
   and language (tone, sense and logic). It is easy to see that you
   need both to be a truly truthful person and a fluent speaker of any
   language. Barack Obama, derided as the teleprompter President, has
   a strong and clearly favorable Mercury, but a weak and insufficient
   Jupiter. He should be youthful and easier to talk to than most
   people, but also short on vision, truth and fluency of expression.
   His sense of humor is lacking and he is more likely to follow the
   advice of others than to take the lead himself. More importantly,
   his direct involvement in unlawful killings and, to quote the
   New York Times, "lethal action without hand-wringing", reveals a
   clearly deficient moral sense (the Benevolence table shows severely
   insufficient influence for Jupiter). Barack Obama is against
   prosecuting those responsible for torture under the George W. Bush
   administration, and he has appointed John O. Brennan, a torture
   supporter, as his chief counterterrorism advisor. In addition to
   greatly increasing the number of lethal drone strikes the US
   government carries out around the world (on average killing more
   civilians, including women and children, than alleged terrorists or
   militants), Barack Obama also supports partial birth and sex-
   selection abortion and opposes protection for babies who are born
   alive as a result of induced abortion. According to Israel's oldest
   daily newspaper, the Haaretz, Obama cast his first veto in the UNSC
   against the settlement resolution: "And Israel, an international
   pariah, once again found itself supported only by America." The
   horoscope governing the United States of America (4 Jul 1776 18:30
   UTC-5) shows an even weaker Jupiter. The US government in general
   and the current President in particular fail to see what most of
   the rest of the World sees clearly: The President and his advisors,
   blind to all things true, moral and humorous, are headed for Hell.
   Jupiter is the planet of vision. When Jupiter is weak, so is the
   vision as well. A large part of the US foreign policy is dictated
   by a tiny state in the Middle East and its most extreme political
   party, the Likud, and above all the most extreme members of that
   party. Another side of the harbinger of joy is competition. The
   extreme lack of benevolence associated with Jupiter in the natal
   horoscope of the United States reveals a lack of competitiveness.
   The emphasis on Cancer in the chart shows greed as one of the
   Nation's strongest driving forces. Since the US is unlikely to come
   out a winner in competition, it sees a need to cleverly persuade
   other countries to relinquish their resources, or if that fails,
   due to a lack of corruption in a particular country, to invade and
   put in place more cooperative or at least more easily manipulated
   governments using military force. The weakness of Jupiter also
   supports the isolation of the US government in world affairs and
   its steadily increasing unpopularity around the globe. Many of its
   own citizens have become more than a little disenchanted as well.
   The corrupt US government allows banksters and other kleptcrats
   free reign to plunge more and more people into economic and social
   misery. A weak Jupiter signifies a weak leader, and a weak leader
   means a lack of prosperity. The planet of money, Mercury, is in the
   horoscope of the US much stronger than Jupiter. It carries very
   significant benevolence, but Mercury is no substitute for Jupiter:
   The US is said to have "the best government money can buy", but it
   is at best difficult to buy a good government, what you are most
   likely to get is an amoral government that supports immorality in
   the private sector and easily turns immoral itself. Without
   morality there can be no joy and with immorality there can only be
   a rock-bottom low. As a unit, the weak Jupiter and the strong
   Mercury clearly points to the immorality and inconsistency we have
   seen from the US polity in both foreign and domestic matters, but
   also the antisocial actions taken by mainstream media to encourage
   moral relativism, general stupidity, secularism, islamophobia,
   homosexuality, racism, attacks on or even invasions of other
   countries, and to disrupt peace, protect criminals and discourage
   understanding, justice, religion, health, truth, competition,
   growth and prosperity. A current example of the senselessness and
   unpopularity of the US foreign policy is an official expectation of
   peace with muslims, while supporting the Zionist state of Israel,
   or directly interfering in, invading and occupying their countries,
   and even killing people of both foreign and US citizenship with
   impunity using CIA-operated drones, of course in blatant violation
   of both International and US law, although the latter has been
   defended by the infamous US Minister of Injustice, Mr. Eric Holder,
   saying that the requirement for "due process" is satisfied by the
   executive branch of government weighing the evidence and having the
   President decide who to kill or not. Two examples of the anti-truth
   drive in the US government are the protection of people producing
   offensive propaganda films and the incarceration and pre-trial
   judgement of a US Army soldier accused of exposing war crimes in
   Iraq. A rational government imprisons war criminals, not those who
   expose them. Note: The scarce morality in the President's chart
   would have been even more obvious had it not been for the superior
   sankhya yoga: Dama yoga adds experience and at best a strong sense
   of justice and ethics. It always boosts the IQ, tact and diplomacy.
   In the chart for the US government there is no superior sankhya
   yoga and the lack of morality, truth and prosperity is thus even
   more glaring. The US is not keen on competition and tries its best
   to eliminate any competition as quickly as possible. Since it lacks
   experience as well as humility it usually fails - even if it did
   have experience it would still fail to defeat more religious people
   and countries, i.e. it would hardly defeat anyone. Domestically,
   big corporations and well-known banksters, such as Jamie Dimon and
   Robert Rubin, avoid competition through the corruption of the US
   Congress. In August 2012, a Gallup poll reported that Congress's
   approval rating among US citizens was at 10%, matching a 38 year
   low reached in November 2011.
     Both Mars and Venus are military planets. To be a high-ranking
   military of good repute both planets need to be strong. General
   David Petraeus, the current director of the CIA and formerly
   serving in the US army, has more than one star next to both of
   these planets in the Benevolence table. According to Wikipedia, he
   was the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff
   College in 1983. He served in Iraq, 2003-2008, and then as a Four
   Star General in Afghanistan, 2007-2011. In 2011 he was unanimously
   confirmed as the next Director of the CIA by the US Senate. Mars
   represent needs and promotes friendship, loyalty and marriage;
   Venus glows with capacity to father, disarm, listen and love. At
   its best, Mars protects the defenceless; Venus stands up for
   justice and spreads peace. Mars is vigilant and takes on conflict
   quickly; Venus employs patience or brute force. If a person does
   not have both, he or she will lose in battle, either right away or
   down the line. The overall integrity of the General's birth chart,
   assuming a noon birth, falls in the Blue category, but it should be
   noted that the Sun in Scorpio and Venus in Sagittarius are better
   fits for a woman than a man (he could probably make a better
   detective or spook than a military man). The time of birth is not
   known to me, but regardless of time, the chart integrity never
   falls below YellowGreen, unless the Moon was exactly cusped at
   around 19:00, in which case it could possibly fall into the Yellow.
   Even at that abysmal time, there are still two stars next to both
   Mars and Venus (the only insufficient planet is Mercury, the most
   malevolent and possibly malignant planet is Jupiter).
     The Sun and Saturn are very different planets, but they too have
   similarities. They both represent the top. The Sun manifests the
   visible, material and public top and Saturn the much harder to see
   spiritual and universal top. To be really at top you need both
   planets to be strong. The Sun reveals public dignity and ability to
   direct oneself and others, it comes with faith in oneself and
   others; Saturn is necessary for leadership and authority, to have
   the knowledge and awareness required and an interest in the welfare
   of society as a whole. A person with exclamation points next to one
   or both of these planets in the Malevolence table is unlikely to
   enjoy a low position for long. The governments of the UK and the US
   are perfect exponents of the innately anti-democratic tendencies of
   these planets when they are malignant. Stars next to both of these
   planets in the Benevolence table show true top potential. These
   people are the ones most likely to stand out in any group of men or
   women. Their top qualities are unquestionable.

   Similarities between Planets of the Same Elements
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   A final grouping of the planets is by element. The Sun, Mars and
   Jupiter are all material, subjective and emotion-oriented planets.
   Their complementary elements are Fire and Water, with one domicile
   sign belonging to the former and the other to the latter. They
   promote enthusiasm, sentimentality, passion and emotions of joy and
   sorrow. Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all abstract, objective and
   idea-oriented planets. Their complementary elements are Air and
   Earth. They promote speech, singing and listening, not just talk
   but lucid communication. When introverted they are capable of
   receiving sex, love and knowledge. To be a great singer Venus has
   to be strong and extroverted. The first group includes all the
   planets which lack strong verbal and listening skills. The second
   group includes all the planets which lack sentimentality, ecstasy
   and power. The two highest planets incline people to spirituality
   and universality and reveal capacity to either transcend the
   material illusion and enter samadhi or already dwell there. Saturn
   comes with Grace and full satisfaction. The first group of planets
   is necessary for empathy and intimacy, as well as for sympathetic
   thinking and emotional comforting in the here and now. The second
   is required for everlasting happiness, peace and detachment. While
   Fire and Water are infinitely close to each other, the latter is
   usually considered the most subjective. Of Earth and Air, the
   latter is the most objective and the former the most inert of all
   the elements. Fire and Air are both hot elements. They stir the
   cold elements into action.
--
     The strength of a planet of can compensate for the weakness of a
   planet of the same elements. Planets of higher evolutionary
   development are more able to compensate for those of lower
   For example, if Venus or Saturn
   have some benevolence, then benevolent Mercurial traits will not
   completely missing, even if Mercury itself appears to have no
   benevolent influence. The compensation is limited to the higher
   planet's essential dignity in the signs of the lower. In practice
   this means that a barely sufficiently benevolent Saturn gives a
   somewhat lacking reasoning ability but not insufficient degree,
   even if Mercury is extremely insufficient. The software may add in
   this compensation automatically in a future update. Note that the
   higher planet loses some of its benevolence as a result of standing
   in for the lower. The effect is negligible for planets of better
   than insufficient benevolence.
   Most notably a strong Sun can compensate for a weak Mars and
   Jupiter, and a strong Saturn can compensate for a weak Venus and
   Mercury. A strong Jupiter can also compensate for a weak Sun and
   a strong Mercury for a weak Saturn. Conversely, an extremely weak
   Sun can bring down Mars and especially Jupiter and an extremely
   weak Jupiter can bring down the Sun.

   1. The compensation given from a planet is always limited to the
   giver's essential dignity in the signs of the receiver divided by
   the sum of all the giver's essential dignities in the signs of all
   its potential receivers (this sum equals 2 for all potential giver's).
   2. It also never exceeds the receiver's innate influence (as set in
   the object settings dialog) divided by the sum of innate influences
   of both receiver and giver.
   3. The primary limit is the weakness of the receiver, which is simply
   the difference of its ideal influence and its actual influence
   divided by the ideal influence. Only if this quotient is positive
   will the potential receiver become an actual receiver. The square of
   the quotient puts an absolute limit to its gift.
   4. The relative dignity of the giver decides how much influence is
   transferred as dignified to the receiver. The square is used.
   Of the remaining influence a share equalling the second quotient
   squared is added to the receiver's disgraced influence. All the
   rest is lost.

   The same compensation as for dignified inlfuence can be carried out
   for disgraced influence, but substituting one minus dignity for
   the dignity.

   Since this post-processing can make the analysis harder to
   penetrate, it will be optional.

   Sexual Sides of the Planets
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   All planets rule or lord two signs, one odd and another even. There
   are significant differences between odd and even signs. Depending
   on the physical gender of a person, a planet is fully at home in
   one and only one of the two signs. For a man, the Sun is fully at
   home in Leo, the Moon in Cancer, Mars in Scorpio, Mercury in Virgo,
   Jupiter in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra and Saturn in Aquarius. For
   a woman the planets are fully at home in the signs complementing
   those for a man: Cancer, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Pisces, Taurus and
   Capricorn. Later on this text refers to the signs listed for a man
   as primary. The sexual leaning of a planet (e.g., Leo/Cancer) is
   called its polarity. In the software, a planet with a polarity not
   matching the physical gender of the person is said to be polarized.
   The degree of polarization in a chart can to some extent be gauged
   by looking at the "Polarized" diagnostic, but its value is often
   misleading, since it only considers polarity by sign and is totally
   independent of other factors in the chart. Unfortunately, neither
   the listing of final dispositors nor the underlying variables
   differentiate between odd and even polarity at this time. Since in
   most cases people have both polarities in significant amounts, this
   shortcoming usually makes little or no difference in practice.
   Nonetheless, polarity is still important in a lot of cases. For
   example, Venus in Libra defines the ideal father (smart, patient,
   attractive, confident, polite, cordial, just, loving and secure)
   and Venus in Taurus the ideal mother (cute, stable, genial,
   competent, tactful, social, ethical, lusting and happy).
     For gender identity and sexual preferences, polarity becomes all-
   important. Planets placed in their own signs have very clear gender
   identity, while other placements might be neutral. It is important
   to point out that a gender identity at odds with the physical body
   does not automatically make a person a homophile or transvestite,
   but it certainly increases the likelihood. Many, if not indeed the
   majority, of homosexuals have suffered sexual abuse as children or
   have other causes for arrested development. A minority may have no
   significant disorder - other than sexual or gender. Although the
   probability of having a chart whose analysis satisfies the
   signatures for some of the disorders mentioned in the following
   sections is great and most people probably do, I have so far never
   come across a chart for any homophile without a malignancy or an
   insufficiency of some sort. At least 99 percent also show some
   significant sexual bias opposite that of the physical body. In the
   rare cases where there is little or no malignancy, this sexual bias
   is even more clear. For homosexuality, my initial idea was that
   sexual bias could be the sole issue, but having learned a lot more
   in recent years I am now more inclined to sympathize with those who
   view it more negatively, seemingly, a majority in non-western and
   African countries. For a lot of people, homosexuality could be a
   mental illness. Quite a few homosexual men tend to believe that
   other men are homosexual as well. In those cases where this is mere
   wishful thinking it might be unimportant, but in the case of
   serious belief, this is an example of serious delusion or at the
   very least a very limited perception. The signature for so called
   homophobia is the same as for homosexuality, but usually with a
   slightly less pronounced sexual bias. The word homophobic is often
   misused in Western media for people who disapprove of homosexuality
   and view it as immoral or irreligious, a developmental disorder, a
   mental illness, an excuse for child abuse, a popular fad, or simply
   nothing to proud of, etc. Such people do not fit the signature,
   unless they have traits of homophobia as well. Although many or
   even a majority of the cases of homosexuality might be ascribed to
   sexual or other abuse in childhood and many other cases would not
   lead to adult homosexual relations without some encouragement from
   the environment and Western culture in particular, there are cases
   where none of these causes apply. Nonetheless, the Sun signs most
   common among faggots, Taurus and Libra, are also those inclined to
   mental illness or at least slower mental development. It might be
   worth noting that an excess number of males with the Sun in Taurus
   who are not practising homosexual relations are instead sexually
   harrassing uninterested women or engaging prostitutes. At the
   current time, the most well-known example of this behavior is the
   French socialist Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It is harder to fully
   identify all gays, my preferred term for lesbian women, but in the
   clear majority of cases their gender bias is exactly opposite that
   of faggots, lacking any better or as well-established word for
   homosexual men. Taurus and Libra are the least common Sun signs
   among gays. On average, both gays and faggots score lower overall
   chart integrity than people in general, but there are great
   individual differences and the integrity score for a few charts can
   for the time being fall into the Green and even Blue categories.
   When polarization has been fully implemented, it will be impossible
   for a highly polarized chart to score in the Blue or any higher
   category.
     Most of the disorders described in the sections below require an
   even polarity or an introvert gender bias. This is especially true
   for autism, depression, addiction and narcissism. If there is an
   odd polarity or an extrovert gender bias, the signatures match
   quarrelsomeness, melancholy, insecureness and hardness. Psychopathy
   requires an extrovert gender bias. In general, planets placed in
   their primary signs indicate an extrovert and prominent life, and
   planets situated in their secondary signs point to an introvert and
   active life. For a malignant planet, an extrovert gender bias
   results in overt behaviors, while an introvert gender bias yields
   covert behaviors. Depending on the exact sign triggered, overt
   behavior can involve being opinionated and dictatorial, touchy and
   crude, irritable and provocative, pushful and indecent, restless
   and flirty, or odd and rash. Covert behaviors include xenophobia
   and violence, jealousy and vengeance, aggression and mocking,
   avoidance and stealing, lewdness and anger, quietness and
   perversion.

   Character Traits
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   To judge the potential presence of an ideal character trait you
   look for benevolence of the planet associated with the trait and
   lack of malevolence associated with its opposite. For humility and
   thinking you would thus look for strength of Mars, highlighted by
   one or more stars if its benevolence is promising or better, and
   for little, or at least less, malevolence associated with Venus.
   For the presence of a character flaw you look for malevolence
   first and benevolence next.

   Doctors of Deception, Psychopathy and Mental Illness
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   As an example of the above procedure, have a look at your favorite
   pseudo-psychiatrists, aka doctors of deception. The character trait
   they all have in common is mental retardation or mental illness,
   here defined as a significant lack of self-control and restraint,
   leading to unhinged or unbalanced behavior, neither calm nor fully
   present. Mental illness requires worldliness and is a precursor to
   physical disease. Mentally ill people are faithless, thoughtless,
   envious, weak, domineering or oppressive. They often suffer a lack
   of public dignity and can live their whole lives in denial, without
   sufficient regard for facts of life in general and facts about
   themselves in particular. They are as far from sharp thinkers as
   you can possibly get. Despite (or possibly thanks to) this severe
   shortcoming they rarely suffer any sense of inferiority but are
   instead more likely to view themselves as superior to other people.
   They maintain this unreal estimation of themselves also in the face
   of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. As leaders of a country,
   they can voice the most outlandish and hilarious opinions on its
   greatness - no matter how small it is. If the country is racist and
   routinely involved in grave violations of human dignity and even
   war against civilians, they can present it as a beacon of democracy
   and progress. Severely mentally ill people are unsympathetic and
   frequently condescending or patronizing. Their lack of personal
   control and restraint can cause them to lose respect also within
   their own ranks. With an introvert gender bias, they can be
   fraudulent bullies. Regardless of gender bias, they are unlikely to
   genuinely consider the opinions of other people. They also lack
   fidelity, loyalty, sympathy, liberty, tech-savvy, attention, power,
   passion, ecstasy, religion and analytical skills. The analysis
   signature for mental illness starts with a malignant Venus and
   continues with a lacking or insufficiently benevolent Sun, which
   also reduces the benevolence of Mars, which itself must have less
   than sufficient benevolence. If Mars has extremely insufficient
   benevolence, it is enough that Venus has unsafe malevolence. For
   severe cases of mental illness, the benevolence of both the Sun and
   Mars must be clearly insufficient or the benevolence of one must be
   severely insufficient. For mentally ill people lacking self-
   assertion, the chart analysis should show insufficient balance for
   Mars. By design the automatic chart analysis is unlikely to yield a
   strong Sun, but doctors involved in pseudo-psychiatry easily beat
   the average person by consistently scoring insufficient benevolence
   for this planet. In plain English this means they are up to little
   or no good and have less than adequate capacity for empathy and
   authenticity in their dealings with other people. The insufficiency
   is worsened by the Sun's lack of dignity (less than 50%). At best
   an insufficient Sun points to mental retardation from birth, a poor
   family background, poverty in early childhood, or severe brain
   injuries and strokes later in life. If the Sun's dignity is greater
   than 50% (with an adequate margin), the lack of balance points to
   victimization very early in life, the victimization being a result
   of a poor sense of self, or possibly vice versa. In addition to
   the insufficient benevolence for the Sun and the below average
   dignity for this planet, all of these medical doctors have charts
   with a malevolent Venus, either directly malignant (shown by two or
   more exclamation points) or having unsafe malevolence (indicated
   by fewer than two dots) exceeding the mean benevolence of Mars and
   the Sun with a clear margin, in almost all cases greater than 100%.
   A malevolent Venus reveals weakness or stubbornness, or possibly
   both. The impoliteness and unfriendliness of a malevolent Venus
   also help increase the likelihood of infamy. By contrast, people
   critical of pseudo-psychiatry, and other forms of tyranny as well,
   are likely to have charts with a benevolent Sun and a benevolent
   Mars. Later on I will detail one especially infamous example of
   pseudo-psychiatry and then one contrasting and especially famous
   example of a critic, but first I will present signatures for a few
   more character traits that help describe pseudo-psychiatry and its
   practitioners in full. These traits can of course be found in the
   general population as well, but rarely to the same degree of
   malignancy and hopefully never with the same consistency.
     A great number of medical doctors dabbling in psychiatry are
   antisocial, some are genuine idiots, and others are best described
   as psychopaths. Individuals who are clearly beyond the reach of
   sanity and prescribe involuntary confinement without sunshine,
   various forms of torture, including electric shock or dangerous
   and proven unhealthy drug treatments, should have at least one of
   the inferior planets malignant. To be severely antisocial and thus
   have a severely deficient ethics and little or no compassion nor
   tact, the most malevolent inferior planet must be malignant and the
   benevolence of Venus (the planet of IQ, competence, charm, social
   skills, love, justice, saneness, heart and compassion) must be
   insufficient. The signature for idiocy, incompetence, delusions and
   killing is exactly the same: A malignant Mars and an insufficient
   Venus. Considering that more than a few medical doctors are more
   likely to kill the patient than save him, it should come as no
   surprise that many doctors of medicine match this signature. The
   introvert side of Mars, Scorpio, is the one associated with magic,
   voodoo, medicine, poison, death, power and ecstasy. When benevolent
   this side of Mars can become clean, intelligent and healing, but
   such perfection should not be expected from ordinary men and not
   even all women (the medical profession is tailored for a woman, as
   men are not born to be intelligent). When malevolent, Scorpio
   believes things which are so far from sane that they are clearly
   seen as insane by most men. These delusions are more often than not
   dangerous to the health of others. Scorpio is the most timid of all
   the Zodiac signs and when frightened she can act automatically,
   extremely quickly and without ruth. Scorpio rarely gives necessary
   consideration to the validity of the premises on which she bases
   her judgement, and she never fully understands the consequences of
   her actions. Even under the best of circumstances, this is the
   sign most capable of throwing out the child with the bath water.
   At her worst, Scorpio reveals pride, hatefulness and injustice. For
   even more extreme behavior you have to turn to Cancer, the sign of
   panic attacks and extreme violence a la the United States. When it
   comes to hypocrisy and all things crazy you cannot beat Cancer. Her
   violence is so extreme and bigoted that even Scorpio calls for
   restraint. The main flaw of Cancer is her lack of knowledge and she
   appears naively disinterested in doing much about it, preferring
   business over invention. The least antisocial of the three directly
   violent signs of the Zodiac is Virgo, the sign of murderers, i.e.
   people only taking the lives of others when there is wealth to be
   gained or sexual satisfaction to be had. Virgo is by far the most
   aggressive sign and her ego is as big as she is small. She most
   often resorts to verbal aggression and sarcasm to boost her fragile
   ego, but she frequently goes a lot further than that. Virgo is an
   extreme repeat offender and a precise follower. She likes things to
   be modern and everyone to conform. After having read this far it
   ought not come as a surprise to see the sign of Virgo associated
   with madness. Sweden, a Virgo country, has the most number of rapes
   and murders per capita in the EU. It also has the greatest number
   of medical doctors. Far from all Virgos are as extreme as Sweden,
   but for a man a Virgo Sun can almost always lead to weird behavior,
   this even when equipped with a lot more talent and confidence than
   most. Michael Jackson and Charlie Sheen are perhaps good examples.
   Most Virgos, but maybe especially females, tend to appear slightly
   undernourished. Cancer is the first and typical sign of arrogance,
   but Scorpio, with her multitude of prejudices, wicked tongue and
   extreme jealousy, and Virgo, in her mocking and most aggressive
   mode, are not far behind. Fortunately, these are all superficial
   signs, and not even their arrogance is more than skindeep. Note
   that the Sun in Cancer is a benevolent indication, especially for
   a woman, and boosts a person's perception, empathy and intuition.
   It is also an indication of productivity, domestic skills and
   beauty. The Sun in Scorpio is highly dignified and a very powerful
   antidote to mental illness and thus also pseudo-psychiatry. Scorpio
   is the sign of intelligent research and religion, while the sign
   opposite, Taurus, has a tendency for bullshit and fraud. The near
   perfect placement of the Sun in Scorpio is not quite there, and
   unlike Taurus, it can expose idiocy from time to time.
     While I at first expected to see a lot more psychopathy in the
   charts of pseudo-psychiatrists, there are still quite a few charts
   showing genuine soul pathology. Psychopathic people are unable to
   understand right from wrong and incapable of experiencing the human
   emotions of joy and sorrow. Emotionally as well as academically,
   they progress slowly or not at all. Since they lack any sense of
   morality they cannot maintain relations with ordinary people.
   Psychopaths tend to be social outcasts and quite a few end up in
   prison, but in some societies, more tolerant of psychopathy, they
   run "too-big-to-fail" banks or other sociopathic institutions.
   Psychopaths are supposed to be more common in legislatures, in
   business and in the medical world than in the society as a whole.
   Ironically, while the pseudo-psychiatrists have invented more
   than a hundred pseudo-psychiatric diagnoses in the last century,
   they still do not include psychopathy among them. Instead it is a
   Canadian psychologist called Robert Hare who has pioneered its use.
   The word psychopathy literally means soul disease (psyche = soul,
   pathos = disease). Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of the
   psyche and thus a weak Jupiter reveals a weak psyche. For severe
   psychopathy, Jupiter has to have insufficient benevolence and the
   opposite planet, Mercury, has to be malignant, or alternatively
   Jupiter has to be severely insufficient. For a plain lack of
   conscience, a clearly insufficient Jupiter is enough. Note that so
   long as the Sun has sufficient benevolence and the benevolence of
   Jupiter is not extremely insufficient, there is enough hope for
   even the most limited, or least perfect, conscience to grow and
   mature. The analysis signature for less severe psychopathy (having
   greater intellectual capacity than the one described above) has an
   ominous or worse Mercury whose malevolence clearly exceeds the
   benevolence of Jupiter (unless Jupiter has less than sufficient
   balance, Mercury's malevolence should exceed Jupiter's benevolence
   by a factor two or greater). The Sun's benevolence must be
   insufficient, if Jupiter's is not. This signature incorporates
   psychopaths who do well academically, thanks to a stronger than
   usual Jupiter, but who nevertheless become rapists or murderers for
   the sake of a playful or "scientific" idea or excitement alone.
     A few practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry are psychotic. The
   analysis signature for psychosis is similar to that for mental
   illness, but substituting Venus for Jupiter and Mercury for Mars.
   Psychotic individuals are dishonest, evasive and irreligious. They
   are more subjective than average and frequently disregard facts.
   They have tendency to flee reality and seek fantasy. Psychotic
   people lack manners. They rarely feel inferior to anyone. Instead
   they are more likely to maintain a false sense of superiority. They
   are never any good with details and they usually avoid science and
   religion - at least the part about submitting to reality and God.
   They can be generous and money is likely to run away from them,
   more often than not it did not belong to them in the first place.
   Psychotic people who are not psychopathic easily become emotional.
   A chart analysis supporting psychosis must show unsafe malevolence
   for Jupiter exceeding the benevolence of Mars and Mercury or the
   mean benevolence of Mercury and the Sun. People whose charts match
   the signature and have insufficient balance for Mercury and/or Mars
   are likely to see no evil, hear no evil, and thus facilitate evil.
   These people are inclined to miss, deny, excuse, or postpone any
   confrontation with evil. A psychotic medical doctor avoids open and
   reasonable scientific testing of his or her methods and disregard
   scientific findings against their efficacy. The most psychotic
   practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry diagnose people they do not know
   and do not care to know or are simply unable to know. Needless to
   say, these individuals are a lot more psychotic than the average
   person. For them, Jupiter must be severely malignant and all of the
   inferior planets must show clearly insufficient benevolence, at
   least one of which must show severe insufficiency. If both Venus
   and Jupiter show severe malignancy, it is enough that none of the
   inferior planets have promising or better benevolence. The inferior
   planets have attributes counteracting psychosis. Science (Mercury),
   religion (Mars) and lawfulness (the Sun) are reasonable, powerful
   and balanced antidotes. If either the Sun, Mars or Mercury has
   extremely insufficient benevolence, and especially if one of them
   has extremely insufficient balance as well, it is enough that
   Jupiter is malignant for a severe and pervasive psychosis to take
   hold. If Jupiter is the Sankhya Yoga ruler or the atmakaraka, the
   psychosis can be persistent over time and span a whole life. An
   individual whose chart matches one of the above signatures as well
   as one for severely deficient ethics or severe psychopathy can
   potentially commit the most gross violations against human dignity
   possible. Most so called professionals who have followed in the
   footsteps of one such individual are now said to be ashamed and
   recall the treatment as inhumane and unscientific. Fortunately, the
   pseudo-psychiatrist responsible for developing the terrifying and
   dangerous abuse, euphemistically called insulin shock therapy, died
   of an heart attack in 1957. The chart analysis shows extremely
   insufficient benevolence and balance for Mars. The medical doctor
   responsible for so called electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) also fits
   the above signature combination. In addition, Jupiter is both the
   Sankhya Yoga ruler and the atmakaraka. Mercury shows extremely
   insufficient benevolence and balance. Although Venus has sufficient
   benevolence, Mars is extremely malignant. The chronically psychotic
   and quite insane doctor died in 1963. In both of these cases the
   Sun has insufficient benevolence.
     The prime example of pseudo-psychiatry is arguably one of the
   founders of the World Psychiatric Association and its first formal
   president, a Scottish emigrant by the name of Donald Ewen Cameron.
   The analysis result for his chart fits the signature for very
   severe psychopathy. Mercury is severely or extremely malignant and
   Jupiter has severely or extremely insufficient benevolence. Like
   people in general, psychopaths are most likely to see themselves
   when looking at other people. In psychology, this tendency is
   called projection. Since we know ourselves better than we know
   everyone else, projection is the only possible starting point when
   guessing and gauging the character and personality of other people.
   These quotes from Wikipedia seems to confirm the validity of
   projection also for this infamous medical doctor: "...although
   society had established sanctions against the spread of infectious
   diseases, he wanted to extend the concept of contagion to chronic
   anxiety that had plagued society. He warned that people with mental
   illnesses, who had not been quarantined, could spread and transmit
   their disease to portions of the populations. ... In the late
   1940s, Cameron presented his ideas in a lecture entitled, Dangerous
   Men and Women. In it he described various personalities that he
   believed were of marked danger to society. The individuals he
   described were dangerous to all members of society including
   children." This is perhaps the most egregious example of a pseudo-
   psychiatrist gone spectacularly wrong. Throughout his career he
   never showed a single sign of conscience or a shred sanity in any
   form. In his work for the CIA he tortured numerous patients causing
   some to become comatose. Cameron is best known for his notorious
   behavior modification research within the MK-ULTRA project. His
   experiments were typically carried out on patients who had entered
   his practice for minor problems such as anxiety disorders and
   postpartum depression, many of whom suffered permanent debilitation
   as a result of his actions. In addition to LSD, Cameron also
   experimented with various paralytic drugs, as well as ECT at thirty
   to forty times the normal power. His treatments resulted in victims
   suffering incontinence and amnesia, forgetting how to talk, not
   remembering their parents, and thinking their interrogators were
   their parents. The chart analysis result matches all the signatures
   defined earlier: the mentally ill, the antisocial, the psychopathic
   and the psychotic. It is also a perfect match for very severe
   narcissistic personality disorder (its signature can be found in a
   later section on narcissism). His chart most closely matches that
   for a psychopath, revealing an extremely malignant Mercury. The
   worst fitting match is for psychosis, with Jupiter "only" showing
   unsafe or ominous malevolence exceeding the mean benevolence of
   Mercury and the Sun at least 25 times. The overall chart integrity
   falls in the Dark Red category, indicating well below average IQ.
   Cameron was born with the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Gemini,
   a neurotic and chronically anxious combination with narcissistic
   personality traits. Both the Sun in Capricorn and the quincunx Moon
   in Gemini reduce empathy, and the Moon also shows positive traits
   of psychopathy of the first degree: Cleverness and facile use of
   words, teasing and provocation if not outright meanness, constant
   need for excitement and stimulation, experimentation, caprice,
   narrowness, scientificness, torture, lying, dislike for emotion and
   morality, and discontent. Complete psychopathy also requires the
   negative traits stemming from an insufficiently benevolent Jupiter.
   Most of these traits have been identified earlier in this section,
   but the minus list of keywords for Jupiter might provide a few
   more. Incidentally, Dr Cameron shares his Sun and Moon with the
   world's worst known serial killer, another medical doctor, called
   Harold Shipman.
     One hallmark trait of psychopathy is irrationality and the
   associated inability to learn from past mistakes. Psychopaths may
   have superficial charm and they are nearly always highly sexed, but
   their emotions are undeveloped, weak or nonexistent. Their very
   limited people skills and severe lack of morality and conscience
   turn a lot of people against them and they often become targets of
   bullying. Psychopaths are very much like life-long teenagers, but
   with few (if any) of their good qualities. At their worst they are
   anti-competitive and anti-moral, delighting in experimentation and
   provocation. They are very open to change but less interested in
   listening to sense or learning things from other people, especially
   if these people understand more than they do. Although, as already
   noted above, a great many pseudo-psychiatrists incorporate traits
   of psychopathy, by far the most common trait among them is "mental
   illness". Mentally ill people have a lot in common with psychotics,
   but the former are less emotional and even more distant. Psychotics
   and psychopaths are in many ways each other's opposites. While
   psychopaths are bold and open, psychotic people are anything but.
   They disregard facts and avoid all genuine communication. This does
   not mean they are shy or predominantly silent, but rather that they
   like to open their mouths more than their ears. They often give the
   impression of believing they are right even when it is obvious they
   are wrong (bring up facts and they retreat to fantasy). Severely
   mentally ill people lack humility, an important prerequisite for
   learning new things and building and developing one's character and
   abilities. The analysis signature for severe mental illness, the
   degree most common among pseudo-psychiatrists, has a malignant
   Venus whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Mars by a factor
   of three or greater. In the most severe cases of mental illness,
   this factor exceeds six. With enough Taurus polarity, they can be
   lewd and domineering fraudsters. With an emphasis on Libra, they
   can be adulterous and temperamental oppressors. Mentally ill people
   whose Mercury is insufficient are unwilling to engage in open
   communication.
     Unlike sane psychiatrists, pseudo-psychiatrists can be jealous,
   wicked and insane (the antisocial), carry out risky and senseless
   experiments without a trace of conscience (the psychopaths), avoid
   practical and sensible verification of their fanciful notions and
   fantasies (the psychotics), or spend most of their time asleep in a
   dreamworld successfully avoiding to think a single sympathetic
   thought (the mentally ill). With a malignant Venus, the last group
   can be the people who bully the psychopaths (and other people too
   if given a chance). Mentally ill people are in many cases better
   educated and smarter than average, but their thinking is always
   sleepy or unsharp. Superior disgrace should exceed integrity by a
   fair margin. Chart integrity should fall into the YellowGreen or a
   lower category. Psychotic people have above average academic
   capacity, but their reasoning is always obscure. Chart integrity
   should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. Just like for the
   mentally ill, superior disgrace should exceed integrity by a fair
   margin. Psychopaths can be clever communicators, but their IQ,
   intellectual and academic capacity is usually below average. Chart
   integrity should fall into the Orange or a lower category. Inferior
   disgrace should exceed 16 percent and in case of severe psychopathy
   also the integrity by a fair margin. Only violent and hypocritical
   alcoholics, diabolic rulers, depressed people, genuine idiots and
   total morons should score lower chart integrity than psychopaths.
   As a final note on psychpathy: It appears that psychopaths, at
   least those whose charts include the Sun in Gemini, are more likely
   to be homophiles (i.e. faggots and gays) compared to the average
   person. If this reflects an intrinsic quality of psychopathy or if
   it is merely a result of psychopaths being more open with their
   sexuality I do not know.
     It is possible to be both psychopathic and psychotic, but since
   many of the traits are mutually exclusive a combination would
   result in a split personality, and the contradictory traits would
   have to show forth at different times. If there is an emphasis on
   Gemini or Sagittarius, there can be extreme intolerance of other
   people. Note that people diagnosed with the most controversial and
   often abused pseudo-psychiatric diagnosis, Schizophrenia, are in
   most cases emotionally developed. Quite a few people with this
   diagnosis are neither psychopathic nor psychotic, at least not more
   than the average person and some even less so. Please see the end
   of this section for more information on this notoriously misused
   diagnosis.
     The most thoughtless and the least intelligent, and also the most
   domineering and oppressive pseudo-psychiatrists, always have at
   least one of the following indicators situated in Taurus or Libra:
   Ketu, the Sun, the semi-sextile Moon, the trine Moon, or Mars. Most
   likely, Venus as the atmakaraka yields similar results. These easy
   to spot markers represent the strongest indications for mental
   retardation or illness, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
   diseases, as well as more subjective conditions, such as bipolar
   disorder, lacking control and being unhinged. Without mitigating
   indications, people with Mars, or to some extent also the trine
   Moon, in Taurus can accurately be described as thoughtless tyrants
   and cowards. On average, pseudo-psychiatrists have more than one of
   these markers in their charts. The extremely few who do not have
   any of these indications have Jupiter as the atmakaraka and other
   markers increasing the likelihood for psychosis, including the Sun
   or Mercury in Pisces or Sagittarius, as well as the only fanciful
   sankhya yoga: Pasa Yoga. Psychotic people are usually more mutable,
   but when opposed a Piscean individual can become just as stubborn
   as a Taurean. Narcissism is also common among pseudo-psychiatrists.
   The worst practitioners have charts with three or more malignant
   planets, of which at least one is inferior and another superior.
   The malevolence of Venus exceeds the benevolence of Mars, or the
   mean benevolence of all the inferior planets, by a factor three or
   more. One of the superior planets should carry malevolent influence
   exceeding the benevolence of its inferior counterpart, or the mean
   benevolence mentioned earlier, by a factor of at least four. The
   Sun cannot carry sufficient benevolence exceeding the malevolence
   of Saturn and the mean malevolence of the superior planets. The
   Sun should never show promising benevolence, but if it would happen
   in a rare case, Saturn must be unsafe or Venus carry extremely
   malignant influence. For the most extreme, both the Sun and one of
   Mars or Mercury must have insufficient benevolence, none can be
   sufficiently benevolent. No pseudo-psychiatrist of any kind can
   have chart integrity in the Green or a higher category. Those
   pseudo-psychiatrists who have some significant talent, knowledge or
   are successful in the sense of focus, education and international
   recognition should have a strong Saturn of sufficient benevolence.
     As promised earlier, I will give one example contrasting that of
   Donald Cameron's. Borrowing from Wikipedia: Thomas Szays is a
   psychiatrist and academic. Since 1990 he has been Professor
   Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health
   Science Center in Syracuse, New York. He is a well-known social
   critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, and
   of the social control aims of medicine in modern society, as well
   as of scientism. He is probably the most famous inside critic of
   what I call pseudo-psychiatry, a form of medical practice that
   conflicts with his principles that each person has the right to
   bodily and mental self-ownership and the right to be free from
   violence from others. His chart reveals a benevolent Sun of more
   than sufficient benevolence. Its dignity exceeds 50% by a great
   margin and is thus classified as good. His Venus is less malevolent
   than usual among pseudo-psychiatrists. In addition, his Mars has
   sufficient benevolence and is stronger than usual in the general
   population. If both the Sun and Mars carry sufficient benevolence,
   there is little opportunity for any pervasive and general psychosis
   of the kind associated with pseudo-psychiatry to establish itself.
   There is also enough empathy with and sympathy for other people to
   avoid any severe mental illness. For the sake of completeness, I
   will add that also the chart for Dr Szays has one of the markers
   for mental illness (Ketu in Taurus) and two for psychosis (Mercury
   in Pisces and Pasa yoga). An insufficient Saturn and a malignant
   Jupiter support his humanism (in 1973, the American Humanist
   Association named him Humanist of the Year). Extremely insufficient
   balance for Saturn shows a lack of greatness, thoroughness, grace,
   strength and general knowledge. Personally, I do not believe that
   anyone who takes up modern medical psychiatry, a genuine pseudo-
   science, can be as mentally safe and sound as most people. It might
   be better to let school teachers discover and encourage people with
   talent for psychiatry than to let individuals choose this advanced
   branch of human understanding for a profession because they have a
   psychiatric disorder. Being a medical doctor could be one of the
   least suitable backgrounds for a psychiatrist. Judges and priests
   would probably make better psychiatrists.
     Schizophrenia has historically been the most popular pseudo-
   psychiatric diagnosis. It is a notoriously unreliable diagnosis
   when diagnosed by pseudo-psychiatrists. The case of Anders Behring
   Breivik is just one of the more recent examples of this, with the
   first two doctors asserting he had Schizophrenia, and two others,
   in my opinion much more lucid, coming to the conclusion he had a
   narcissistic personality disorder with sadistic traits. Studies
   before the Breivik case show the diagnosis is about as reliable
   and meaningful as tossing a coin. Most diagnoses of Schizophrenia
   target victims of crime. Usually you can find an incompetent mother
   with autistic traits or a powerful pride/jealousy and an inability
   to be happy without the submission of other family members. In some
   cases there is a psychopathic father. Studies also show that the
   prospects of people diagnosed and treated in the West (using drugs,
   insulin shocks, ECT or surgery) range from bad to worse, while
   those more fortunate souls diagnosed in the East and treated by a
   change of environment, completely eliminating the mother or other
   designated caregiver, recover from their symptoms of distress
   fairly quickly. All things considered, this does not mean there are
   no psychotic or schizophrenic people around (as mentioned above,
   quite a few pseudo-psychiatrists are suffering from psychosis or,
   at the very least, a lack of reason). The analysis signature for
   Schizophrenia, which also fits the majority of the cases listed on
   Wikipedia, includes a malignant Jupiter and an insufficient
   Mercury, thus replacing reason [Gemini] and fact [Virgo] with
   silliness [Sagittarius] and fantasy [Pisces]. The Zodiac sign most
   suitable for literal Schizophrenia (a suffering, evasive, solemn,
   limitless, psychotic, drugged or drunken, split personality) is
   Pisces, the two fish swimming in opposite directions. For people
   suffering from psychosis over a longer period of time, i.e. more
   than a few months, the signature also requires chart integrity
   below the Green category. In at least 95 percent of cases the chart
   integrity should fall into the Yellow or a lower category. Some
   individuals who are diagnosed with Schizophrenia are more mentally
   ill than psychotic, as evidenced by an insufficient Mars and/or Sun
   and a malignant or ominous Venus (these people are more likely to
   have the Sun in a superior sign than an inferior). Pisces is the
   sign of psychosis, disregarding facts, approving of oneself despite
   criticism from others, and retreating completely into fantasy land.
   Schizophrenia, like the majority of pseudo-psychiatric diagnoses,
   is vaguely defined. While most diagnoses emphasize psychosis,
   others include extreme visual hallucinations. Pisces being a non-
   sensory sign should not suffer from hallucinations. The most well-
   known case of diagnosed Schizophrenia and visual hallucinations is
   probably that of John Forbes Nash. His chart features the Sun and
   Venus in Gemini, as well as Pasa yoga reenforced by Saturn in
   Sagittarius. The analysis shows an extremely malignant Mercury, the
   sensory planet. Also his Jupiter is extremely malignant. In a few
   cases hallucinations is the sole basis for the diagnosis. In these
   rare cases the primary signature fails and only Mercury is
   malignant.
     Note: Pseudo-psychiatry is the use of medicine, torture, mental
   and physical abuse in the treatment of fictional diseases with no
   scientific, factual or objective basis. Pseudo-psychiatrists
   frequently diagnose people who show healthy or natural and easily
   understandable reactions to sick treatment and are apparently
   either mentally impaired or psychotic enough not to realize what
   they are doing. Practitioners of pseudo-psychiatry have deficient
   empathy and can in collusion with clueless or crazy, sometimes
   corrupt, governments prescribe involuntary treatment. This fact
   alone is enough to clearly distinguish pseudo-psychiatry from the
   practice of regular medicine. The domineering behavior of most
   pseudo-psychiatrists are harmful enough, but their treatments are
   even worse, often leading to drastically reduced life expectancies.
   Materialistically biased, fanciful, harmful and historically often
   mythological and politically motivated diagnoses (Schizophrenia,
   Hysteria and Drapetomania) by mentally challenged practitioners set
   this modern corruption apart from original psychiatry, promoting
   health and longevity. The worst feature of pseudo-psychiatry is
   involuntary hospitalization, in itself a rights violation. Already
   in the 70s, pseudo-psychiatrists were made aware they were the sick
   and not the others, but there are still aged quacks who have yet to
   realize how grave their condition really is. Although archaic
   diagnoses such as Drapetomania and Hysteria are long gone and the
   frequently abused Schizophrenia is at least set to be partially
   phased out, there are newer and almost countless diagnoses filling
   their places, including ADHD and borderline personality disorder.
   The first of these has strong backing from big pharmaceutical
   companies and their peddling of amphetamines to school children and
   incarcerated adults. The good thing about pseudo-psychiatric
   diseases, clearly setting them apart from the ordinary, is that a
   simple decision can make them disappear. It is an amazing sight,
   but it has already been seen more than once in the short history of
   this pseudo-science, so you should not be surprised if ADHD is
   completely gone by the middle of this century. However, given the
   amount of people making a lot of money from the practice of pseudo-
   psychiatry, the number of diagnoses are more likely to increase
   over time. The lack of empathy, sympathy and analytical skills
   among too many of its practitioners and the number of lives ruined
   (also amphetamines have damaging long-term effects on health and
   well-being) in its course make it necessary for every man and woman
   of conscience to do something to put an end to pseudo-psychiatry
   once and for all.
     Thomas Szays: "We should all honor CCHR because it is really the
   organization that for the first time in human history has organized
   a politically, socially, internationally significant voice to
   combat psychiatry. This has never been done in human history
   before."

   True and False Prophets
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   False prophets share many similarities with pseudo-psychiatrists.
   While faithful and religious prophets have sufficient balance and
   at least better than insufficient benevolence for the Sun (faith)
   and Mars (religion), false, worldly or outright fraudulent and
   depraved prophets have extremely insufficient benevolence for at
   least one of these planets or insufficient benevolence for both.
   For a really depraved priest, 'guru' or 'messiah' Saturn must be
   malignant. For a complete fraud Venus must be malignant. For a
   deceitful preacher a malignant Jupiter is enough.
     To be a true prophet both the Sun (personal authenticity) and
   Jupiter (general truthfulness) have to be benevolent. If only the
   latter is benevolent, there can be true preaching but a lack of
   authenticity in personal matters or private deeds at odds with the
   words preached in public. A benevolent Mars is necessary for divine
   protection and to have a drive for perfection. Factual precision,
   formal communication and common decency requires a good or at least
   sufficiently benevolent Mercury. For a highly evolved, loving and
   understanding transcendentalist Venus must be benevolent. Wise
   masters and spiritual seekers must have a benevolent Saturn,
   indicating people who are born wise or spiritual.
     If Mars is benevolent but Saturn (wisdom and detachment) is
   deficient, it is possible to be born intelligent and religious but
   unwise and materialistic. A benevolent Jupiter will guide the
   native right, but practical and spiritual knowledge will only come
   after bad experiences, usually due to even worse actions on the
   native's own part.

   Learning, Schooling and Education
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   All six planets reveal different kinds of education. Together they
   give a general sense of the edification, learning and literacy that
   can be expected during the best of circumstances. Ideal influence
   for the Sun points to ideal development during the earliest
   childhood and is necessary for the most basic education, including
   empathy. Mars takes up where the Sun leaves off and develops the
   ability to think and analyze. A good balance for Mars reveals
   proficiency in arts and technology. A benevolent Mars promotes
   sympathy and respect for other people. Mercury comes right after
   Mars and represents formal schooling or education up to and
   including adolescence. If Mercury is weak there may be few or no
   formal degrees or certificates. A benevolent Mercury shows idealism
   or a sense of duty and helpfulness. Higher learning, academic and
   emotional education requires sufficient benevolence for Jupiter. A
   profound psyche, broad mind, fully developed logic, synthesis and
   moral sense necessitate an ideal Jupiter. If this planet is weak or
   insufficient, there is also a weak or insufficient sense of humor.
   In extreme cases a deficient person may be completely unable to see
   the humorous side of things. Without a strong Jupiter there can be
   no prophetic vision. To get the Truth of more than trivial matters,
   Jupiter has to be sufficiently balanced. To be a leader and to
   compete academically, athletically and in general, Jupiter has to
   be good or better (at least if the person is going to win in
   international competition against more than sufficiently endowed
   competitors). Note: Neptune may need to be enabled to see the full
   intellectual and competitive capacity. Character traits commonly
   associated with higher and avant-garde education follow Venus.
   Social skills, cordiality, smartness, human understanding, sense of
   justice and diplomacy, physical strength and ability to fight and
   make peace, as well as culinary and musical appreciation all depend
   on a strong and benevolent Venus. Male potency and female fertility
   also belong to this planet. Saturn is the ultimate planet for all
   matters educational. A severely insufficient Saturn and a severely
   malignant Sun shows potential for severe dyslexia. A benevolent
   Saturn indicates divine Grace and authority. With a strong enough
   Father of Time the native is equipped with practical, spiritual and
   universal education, usually accompanied by rare talent. A chart
   indicating fully virtuous, steadfast, skillful and wise leadership
   should yield four stars next to Saturn. Note: Uranus may need to be
   enabled to see the totality of anyone's awareness, knowledge,
   authority and influence on society.
     For dyslexia and other short-comings of communication the most
   important planets to look at are the objective, starting with
   Saturn and ending with Mercury. For dyscalculia the same planets
   are key, but likely in the reverse order of importance. For autism,
   i.e. personality traits usually and primarily associated with a
   severe lack of sensitivity, understanding and contextual awareness,
   Venus should have insufficent benevolence. In cases of genuine
   autism, aligned with the original sense of the word, there is
   automatic action, compulsion, silentness, impatience and jealousy.
   Really severe cases of genuine autism exposes a wicked tongue or
   quick, ruthless and often alarmingly violent action with frequently
   lethal results. In these cases the benevolence of Venus must be
   clearly overcome by the malevolence of Mars or in some cases the
   mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury. Most typically there is a
   severely or extremely malignant Mars. For verbal (non-silent), or
   high-functioning, autism and Asperger, primarily characterized by
   repetitive behavior, lack of emotion, and failure to develop social
   abilities and language to a usual level, it is enough to have a
   Mercury whose malevolence exceeds the benevolence of Jupiter and/or
   Venus by a factor two or more. This kind of autism often includes
   inconsiderate and even cruel behavior towards other people. If this
   is the case, Mercury should be malignant. For a severe lack of
   language, Jupiter should be clearly insufficient. In cases of truly
   exceptional intelligence and expert skills, Mercury should have at
   least promising balance, sufficient benevolence, and significant
   Virgo polarity. For good memory, a good balance is enough. In at
   least one fourth of the cases of diagnosed autism and Asperger
   listed on Wikipedia, Venus shows extremely insufficient benevolence
   and in a majority of the cases Venus is clearly insufficient. In
   one case of very late Asperger diagnosis for an English actor,
   filmmaker, screenwriter and musician, the above signature fails.
   The actor was diagnosed in 2010, aged 36. The result of the
   automatic chart analysis points to mental disability and possible
   mental illness, but slightly above average integrity. According to
   Wikipedia, he stated in a candid interview with The Telegraph that
   he suffered from "a debilitating sense of detachment". This is
   consistent with being a victim of crime or other abuse - not autism
   and probably not Asperger either, although the criteria for the
   latter diagnosis are less clear and share many similarities with
   narcissism (lack of empathy, social awkwardness, and physical
   clumsiness). The analysis shows extremely insufficient benevolence
   for the Sun and a severely malignant Saturn. The only hint of
   autism is the Sun in Virgo; on its own this solar placement can
   only give rise to mild high-functioning autism, perhaps better and
   more directly called stupidity (in its most formal sense). It
   should be noted that the Sun in Virgo is less of an impediment for
   a woman than a man, and of course far from all men with the Sun in
   Virgo have severe issues with it. Mild and benign verbal autism is
   anti-psychotic (the influence and in particular the benevolence of
   Mercury mitigates any malevolence of Jupiter). Preliminary testing
   points to autistic traits (not fully satisfying the signature for
   ASD) being common among people active in professional sport. The
   same traits are also more common among physicians, especially in
   places conducive to autism in the general population, such as
   Sweden. Needless to say, far from all physicians possess autistic
   traits, and pseudo-psychiatrists are more likely to be psychotic
   than autistic, while a few, hopefully rare, individuals are both.
   Dyslexia can be ruled out if Saturn is sufficiently benevolent, no
   inferior planet is severely malignant and the Sun shows no more
   than ominous malevolence. Genuine autism can be ruled out using the
   same condition but substituting Mars for the Sun. Autism of any
   kind and degree can be ruled out if Venus shows good or better
   benvolence and neither Mars nor Mercury is extremely malignant.
     For lack of concentration, reduced interest in routine tasks, and
   inability to keep a schedule, Mercury should be insufficient or the
   malevolence of Jupiter should exceed the benevolence of Mercury by
   a factor two or more. For lack of attention, problems with thinking
   straight and poor analytical skills, Mars should be insufficient or
   the malevolence of Venus should exceed the benevolence of Mars by
   a factor two or greater. An insufficient balance for Saturn
   exacerbates these conditions. while a benevolent Sun can go a long
   way to mitigate, depending on its benevolence and the severity of
   the insufficiency mentioned earlier.

   Depression (MDD), Addiction (APD) and Severe Mood Swings (BD)
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   A basic analysis signature for the common inferiority disorder
   known as depression is at this stage similar to that for autism and
   other inferiority disorders. For all inferiority disorders you
   first look for exclamation marks next to the inferior planets in
   the Malevolence table. For any major depression there must be
   severely malignant influence associated with at least one of the
   inferior planets or two with clearly malignant influence. While
   the signature for genuine autism emphasizes a malignant Mars and an
   insufficient Venus, the signature for genuine depression emphasizes
   a malignant Sun and an insufficient Saturn. However, also Jupiter,
   the planet of Joy, is consistently insufficient for people dealing
   with major depression. Generally insufficient influence for a
   planet is indicated by minus signs in the Balance table. A lack of
   benevolent influence is shown in the Benevolence table. For a
   severe major depression where a person experiences a general lack
   of joy and purpose in life, the Balance table must show severely
   insufficient influence for Jupiter. For less severe cases of major
   depression, it is enough that Saturn shows severely insufficient
   balance. For extreme depressions with suicidal thoughts, both
   Saturn and Jupiter must show clearly insufficient benevolence. For
   minor and sporadic depressions, it is enough that one of the
   inferior planets shows unsafe malevolence clearly exceeding the
   benevolence of Jupiter. In most cases of diagnosed major depression
   at least one of the inferior planets carries severely malignant
   influence. The signature for really severe addiction is similar to
   that for depression. At this stage it is almost identical to that
   for autism and OCD and consists of the malevolence of Mars or the
   mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury exceeding the benevolence
   of Venus by a multiple of two or more. If the multiple is less than
   three, then one of the three inferior planets must be severely
   malignant. For less severe addiction or plain overconsumption, it
   is enough to have an unsafe Mars whose malevolence exceeds the
   benevolence of Venus. For substance abuse (especially alcohol and
   food) it is enough to have an ominous or malignant Sun. For sex
   addiction where excitement drives the behavior Mercury must be
   unsafe. If it is not malignant, then its malevolence must exceed or
   nearly match the benevolence of Jupiter, and Mars or the Sun must
   have malevolence clearly exceeding the benevolence of both Venus
   and Saturn, or Mercury must have clearly excessive balance.
     The primary signature for antisocial personality disorder builds
   on the one for addiction and adds less than sufficient benevolence
   for Jupiter or benevolence less than half the malevolence of Mars
   or the mean malevolence of the Sun and Mercury, as well as chart
   integrity within the Orange or a lower category. This disorder
   shows a pervasive pattern of disregard for the rights of others
   that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Its natives
   engage in unnecessary conflicts and are often fascinated by power
   and death. As children, some natives are cruel to animals and may
   even enjoy the feeling they get from taking their lives. Without
   early intervention, they may start to kill people as adults. A
   secondary analysis signature emphasizes immorality. This signature
   only requires an unsafe Sun or Mars and a severely malignant
   Mercury whose malevolence clearly exceeds the benevolence of the
   most benevolent superior planet. The Sun cannot have sufficient
   benevolence. A malignant Saturn can trigger, worsen and enlarge the
   scope of an antisocial personality disorder. In extremely rare
   cases of extremely violent behavior, none of the inferior planets
   reach malignancy but at least one shows clearly unsafe malevolence,
   i.e. no dots. In these cases the malevolence of Saturn must clearly
   exceed the benevolence of the Sun and the chart integrity must fall
   into the YellowGreen or a lower category. In addition, one of the
   other inferior planets must show clearly unsafe malevolence when
   the outer planets (Uranus and Neptune) are enabled. Serial killers
   who do not fully satisfy the description for antisocial personality
   disorder, lacking a pervasive pattern of antisocial behavior, can
   have a good Jupiter. If this is the case, the automatic chart
   analysis should show extremely insufficient benevolence for the Sun
   or an extremely malignant Mercury and a less than promising Sun.
   Chart integrity should fall below the YellowGreen category. Unless
   the Sun shows extremely insufficient benevolence, no serial killer
   of any kind should have a promising or better Saturn. As far as I
   know, there are no charts for serial killers which show a good
   Saturn. A serial rapist could possibly have a good Saturn, in such
   a case Mercury should be at least severely malignant or the mean
   malevolence of the two most malevolent inferior planets must reach
   malignancy. Additionally, at least one of the inferior planets
   should have severely insufficient benevolence. No serial killer
   should score Green or higher integrity. The integrity scores for
   all prolific serial killers should fall into the Yellow or a lower
   category. At least 97 percent of all serial killers should belong
   to this group. Extremely prolific serial killers or serial rapists
   with more than one hundred victims should all score in the Red or
   DR categories. The same applies to psychopathic serial torturers
   and war criminals who condone the use of torture. The most prolific
   serial killers, the worst war criminals, and the most prolific
   violent offenders and most incompetent people of all kinds, should
   all score in the DR category and have integrity less than one fifth
   of inferior disgrace.
     For severe mood swings and so called bipolar disorder, the key
   analysis signature includes insufficient benevolence for the Sun.
   In most cases of diagnosed bipolar disorder there are positive
   indications for depression as well, but there are a few cases where
   the superior planets do not support major depression, showing
   sufficient benevolence. In those cases the Sun shows insufficient
   benevolence. Sometimes an extremely insufficient Mars reenforces
   the deficiency of the Sun. In most cases Jupiter shows insufficient
   benevolence as well. In rare cases, the benevolence of the Sun
   shows up as lacking but not insufficient. In these cases the
   benevolence of Jupiter is severely insufficient or the analysis
   result fits the signature for atypical major depression, i.e.
   severely malignant inferior planets coupled with a severely
   insufficient Saturn, but with an amply benevolent Jupiter.

   Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Narcissism describes personality traits exactly opposite those of
   depression and addiction. Narcissists tend to be hypersocial, sober
   and successful, but they lack empathy and faith, especially in
   other people. They are victims of exceedingly harsh childhoods and
   sense pressure to succeed in life. They seek recognition from
   society in part to receive some of the respect and appreciation
   they were deprived of early in life. They know what they have to do
   to accomplish themselves and they remain focused all the way to the
   top. The analysis signature for plain narcissism includes an unsafe
   Saturn. When the malevolence of Saturn exceeds the benevolence of
   the Sun there is the beginning of a major disorder. When the Sun is
   insufficient and Saturn is ominous or worse there can be a severe
   disorder. These people can be extremely destructive. Their impact
   is most evident on the people closest to them, but eventually their
   public image suffers as well. Narcissistic people are less likely
   to become depressed, alcoholics or have suicidal thoughts, but they
   can easily give an inane or gloomy impression and they rarely enjoy
   a party. Usually they have suffered material, mental and sexual
   abuse as children. In personal relations they tend to be unfaithful
   and in public they are less than authentic. Unlike madmen and
   psychopaths, narcissists do not harm other people with intent but
   rather through lack of civility, empathy and care. The analysis
   signature for severe cases of narcissism and so called narcissistic
   personality disorder has both a malignant Saturn and a Sun of
   insufficient benevolence. People whose chart analyses match this
   signature can be extremely rigid, egocentric, cowardly, depraved
   and at times abusive towards people of smaller stature or greater
   humility than their own. Narcissists of this kind have excessive
   estimation of or admiration for themselves, especially in relation
   to education, career and standing in society. Classical or
   aesthetical narcissism, primarily characterized by a preoccupation
   with physical features, sexual attraction and gratification, only
   requires a malignant Venus and a less than good Mars. All kinds of
   narcissism, but especially the latter, lack humility.

   Cancellation of Malignant Malevolence and Good Benevolence
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   In the reading of the final dispositor listing, the Sun and Saturn
   are extra important. Both planets can under most circumstances
   cancel the effect of the other and if both lack balance, then the
   condition of the remaining four planets matters less. As a rule, a
   sufficiently benevolent Saturn can cancel a malignancy of Mars
   and Mercury which is less than severely malignant. Similarly, a
   sufficiently benevolent Sun can negate a malignancy of Venus and
   Jupiter which is less than severely malignant. A good Saturn can
   also cancel the malignancy of the Sun, if it is not severe, and a
   good Sun can negate the malignancy of Saturn. Here cancellation of
   malignancy does not mean no bad traits at all, but rather a very
   significant drop in their prevalence, for example from malignant to
   unsafe. This cancellation comes at a price: A malignant Saturn can
   cancel the benevolence of an inferior planet, for example from good
   to merely sufficient, and a malignant Sun can do the same thing for
   a superior planet.

   Additional Notes on Exclamation Marks, Plusses and Minuses
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Please note that exclamation marks only indicate potentials for
   certain actions and behavior. In no way is it implied that everyone
   with exclamation points next to Jupiter in their chart is a crook,
   or that everyone with four exclamation points next to Mercury is a
   murderer or torturer. What these marks do indicate are character
   traits that are troubling to the person. In the case of Mercury
   there can be an inferiority complex and in the case of Jupiter a
   superiority complex. In general, an inferiority complex causes a
   person to seek power over other people and to tear them down as
   compensation for his/her perceived lack of talent or competence.
   Their cluelessness or haughtiness, touchiness or timidity, and
   irritability or stupidity make them more frequent targets of
   bullying than other people. On the contrary, a superiority complex
   causes a person to shun direct, immediate or genuine power, as it
   is perceived as unnecessary, and thus the person becomes an easy
   victim of antisocial behavior and direct violence. Even with all
   these character traits known in advance it is usually not possible
   to predict where they will actually lead without also knowing the
   person's experiences and circumstances in life. To some extent
   these can be predicted or revealed by an examination of accidental
   factors in the birth horoscope, starting with the Ascendant, but
   not even a complete analysis of the horoscope can account for all
   the exact details of a person's life, his/her cultural background
   or level in society. In addition, not even a serial rapist goes
   around raping people all the time. Transitory influences must be
   examined to know how active a particular planet is at any given
   time. Only the sankhya yoga ruler and the atmakaraka are always
   fully active. Finally, so long as a planet has sufficient balance
   some "good" can come out of it: A strong Mercury always promotes
   monetary gains and verbal skills. It also contributes a sense of
   detail and some honesty in personal dealings. A strong Jupiter
   shows language and academic skills. It also increases the ability
   to compete or blend in and the chance of travel or rest.
     Stars and exclamation marks often work to cancel each other out.
   The benevolence of a planet (shown by stars) frequently reduces the
   malevolence of its planetary opposite (shown by exclamation marks).
   If the benevolent planet is the sankhya yoga ruler, a single star
   can cancel the malevolence of a single exclamation mark. If the
   starred planet is an ordinary planet, it can cancel the malevolence
   when it is active. In the same way, the malevolence of a planet
   often hinders the benevolence of its planetary opposite.
     In this and especially earlier previews most charts show excess
   plusses, minuses and exclamation marks. As from this preview, the
   average number of minuses will likely stay largely the same, but
   the number of exclamation marks is likely to continue its slow
   and steady descent until the release of the first pre-alpha.

---------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER REGARDING ACCURACY FOR INDIVIDUAL CHARTS
---------------------------------------------------

The initial purpose of the automatic chart analysis feature has been
to test the effectiveness of various astrological factors. For this
reason some implementations may work well for statistical purposes,
but are too simplistic to yield accurate results for all individual
charts. The war factor is one example of a simplified implementation.
It can seriously underestimate the effect of multi-party wars under
some circumstances (only the brightest planet in a sign is considered
a possible enemy). Dispositor chaining is another factor, which can
be implemented in different ways with sometimes very different
outcomes for individual charts. Currently, it uses a mix of weakest
link, arithmetic and geometric means as well as the product of all
links. Finally, different settings for the relative influences of the
various planets may impact a few charts greatly.

-------------
USER ADVISORY
-------------

The automatic chart analysis feature is not intended to replace human
interpretation. It has been designed to be an objective complement to
a complete and much more detailed analysis by a Priest or similarly
qualified person. In addition, this particular software is still in
its earliest design stage. The ACA feature should continue to see very
signifcant changes - perhaps even in the very next update. At this
stage the feature only considers essential indications (independent of
geographic location, revealing essential character traits rather than
traits based on temporal circumstances) and does not include the just
as important accidental indications (based on time and place of birth,
revealing immediate experiences and opportunities in this life), such
as the Ascendant. Besides being limited to essential indications, the
feature does not yet make sometimes important distinctions, such as
separating extrovert and introvert polarities. However, if you want to
find an especially qualified Priest/Astrologer, the software can help
you out by fairly accurately gauging the essential indications present
in his or her chart with regard to overall integrity as well as more
specific strengths and weaknesses. If you find that the result of the
essential analysis is satisfactory, for example showing above average
overall integrity and a good Saturn, you may proceed to check if one
or more of the following accidental indications are present as well:
Saturn, Uranus, a Full Moon or the ruler of the First house in the
First house (tropical zodiac, sidereal houses). If they are not, the
person is unlikely to have astrology as a primary or even secondary
calling in life. Ideally, he or she may also have the Ascendant in
Aquarius (sidereal zodiac), or Libra as a second-best option.


About Astrolog
--------------

Astrolog is a classic when it comes to astrology software, not only is
it 100 percent open source software, but it is also the most complete,
and most flexible astrology calculation program ever made freely
available.

Thanks to the original author Walter D. Pullen, Astrolog is already
available on multiple platforms, including DOS, Windows, Mac and Unix.
Permission for this independent port and the name "Astrolog for OS/2"
has been granted by the original author.


Astrolog for OS/2
-----------------

This port of the original Astrolog software for 16-bit MS Windows
to 32-bit IBM OS/2 compares to the Windows version (5.30) as follows.
In the list below, a minus sign precedes original functionality not
ported. A plus sign indicates functionality not found in the original
Windows version.

Functional changes:

 - Basic interpretations (report function to be implemented)
 - Arabic parts (unlikely to get implemented)
 - Biorythm (unlikely to get implemented)
 - Windows bitmap save (unlikely to get implemented)
 + OS/2 bitmap save.
 + Sidereal whole sign houses (aka Synchronized Houses).
 + Configurable default rising sign.
 + Sankhya Yoga (Jyotish).
 + Extended chart information, including tags and rodden ratings.
 + Extended dispositor screen
 + House peaks (make a difference for whole sign houses).
 + Long filenames (if supported by the filesystem).
 + Divisional charts modify houses.
 + Dwadasamsa division.
 + Remembers size and position of main window.
 + Automatic saving of almost all settings on exit.
 + Chart info caching (automatic resume).
 + Easy switching between four chart slots.
 + Chart slot swapping (eases synastry work).
 + Chart ring rotation (primary chart slot always in the center)
 + Localized time and date formats.
 + In addition to local time and date formats also recognizes ISO,
   US, Spanish and German date formats (in the chart info dialog).
 + Calendar can be specified for any date (suffix a date with a
   capital J for Julian or a capital G for Gregorian).
 + Time zone automatically picked up if the environment variable TZ
   has been set in config.sys, to test select the "Now" push button
   in the chart dialog or press ctrl+z.
 + Clear and non-conflicting UTC-based time zone designations
   (no confusing daylight savings setting).
 + Also recognizes direction-based time zone values, such as 7W
   for 7 hours west and 2E for 2 hours east.
 + Chart files can be easily associated with the executable.
 + Chart files in the current directory can be quickly opened
   in sequence (Next, Previous, First, Last).
 + Copying of select text to the clipboard.
 + Adjustment of aspect lines to orb (instead of a fixed 2 degrees).
 + Aspect trimming, by sign and out of sign.
 + Sine function for power reduction following orb.
 + Automatic/Advanced Chart Analysis, ACA: A new feature advanced and
   accurate enough to be of practical use. The system aims to provide
   reliable rankings of planets as well as signs in a chart. The first
   stage of analysis boils down to a chart integrity score, revealing
   essential character and influence. The second stage will look at
   accidental factors and produce a fortune score. As of TP80 the
   first stage is near completion. The second stage should take much
   less time to complete. Your feedback is important to help make ACA
   as accurate as possible.
 + Chart statistics for a group of charts, including sankhya yogas,
   atmakarakas and ACA mean, min, max and median values.

Operational improvements:

 + Faster chart drawing.
 + Repaint instead of redraw whenever possible (disabled in this
   version for stability reasons).
 + Transit and other listings scrollable without recalculation.

Functionality yet to be fully implemented:

 * Extended chart information: Multiple events per file.
 * Chart information dialog: More useful Atlas button
   (currently disabled).
 * Automatic Chart Analysis: Scores for individual planets,
   fortune score, plus more accurate integrity score.
 * Chart wheels: Easier to read planetary positions.
 * Many other features such as crude stats may be included
   in the final release.

The following will probably have to wait until version 2.1:

 * Report function (user editable interpretation texts)
 * Major Yogas (jyotish)
 * Chart search

Astrolog for OS/2 system requirements
-------------------------------------

Any system running OS/2 Warp 4.5 or later (including eCS) can run this
software. It may run on earlier versions of OS/2, but this has not
been tested. Early versions of OS/2 Warp will not run this software
due to dependency on new system functions.

The source code for this version was compiled and linked using
Open Watcom C 1.9 (C99), OS/2 Warp 4.5 libraries, and the resource
compiler included in the Warp 4.5 toolkit.
