Skylendar is an astrology software program designed for use with Linux and the KDE 3 desktop environment. It features a modern design that is easy to navigate and use, making astrology accessible to a wider audience.
One of the key features of Skylendar is the Wheel Chart. This feature displays up to four concentric rings, making it easy to absorb the astrological information present. The software also has a Standard List Chart feature that displays a text list of object positions, speeds, aspect and mid-point tables.
If you were ever curious about the current planetary, virtual planet and exotic object positions, or wanted to know the current astrological aspects and ayanamsa computing methods, Skylendar has got you covered. The software uses the high precision Swiss ephemeris library for all computation, resulting in accurate results.
Skylendar provides a Simple or Dual Aspects Scan List Chart that displays a text list of the current towards natal or mutual aspects occurring during a given time span.
Moreover, Skylendar has a SQL database interface for storing and retrieving personal data and restriction sets, animated charts, and printing. The software offers true multitasking chart computation for ease of use. It is essential to note that the Swiss Ephemeris is not free for commercial use, which Skylendar users must take into consideration.
Skylendar also has single, transiting, progressed and directed subcharts, aspects table below the wheel chart, numerous parameters managed, such as orbs and aspects colors, etc. Users require specific requirements to use the software. Basically, the software requires KDE 3.x, QT 3.x, PostgreSQL 7.2.x or 8.x client and server, the plpgsql language plug-in, and probably the QT-PostgreSQL driver, perl-xml-enno for the skif utility.
If you are an Ubuntu 7.10 user, you can now install Skylendar as the latest version can be installed on Ubuntu. In addition, some minor bugs and glitches were fixed.
In conclusion, Skylendar is an astrology software that provides high accuracy results, making it ideal for professional astrologers, students of astrology or anyone interested in studying this subject. One can only use Skylendar on KDE 3.x and skilled on using PostgreSQL 7.2.x or 8.x.
