HORCOM was developed in german language and for purposes of german speaking astrologers.Residues of this origin will show up to You occasionally.For the time being,this english version is an experiment.

If You have trouble with the Demo-Version,please contact me.



The Format of Time  will allways be shown in 24 - hours-mode,without a.m. or p.m.

HORCOM8P  is suitable for astrologers who like to compare different astrological methods and need exact ephemerides,also for historical work.
Besides the big planets, also exact ephemeridens are available in HORCOM for Chiron,Ceres,Pallas,Juno,Vesta,Pholus,Damocles,Nessus and the Comet Halley.
Quaoar for the same time-span as Pluto.

The moon-nodes are available as  median  or  true ( =  momentary ) value.

The " Black Moon " = Apogee of the moon-orbit, also known as " Lilith "  is also available as  median or true value.

The planets positions can be given geocentric,topocentric ( = with "parallax" ) and heliocentric.
The  moon,of course,only geocentric and topocentric.



The hypothetical " planets " Trans-Pluto (Isis) " and CU,HA,ZE,KR,AP,AD,VU,PO of the " HAMBURGER SCHULE " can optionally also be used.

For the big planets ME until PL, also the mean Nodes and Apsides are available.See under " Astronomic Features...." in line 3. of the menu on the homepage.

If the beginner in astrology might work with HORCOM,I would recommend,that he let the parameters in their default values,until he has some experience and knowledge.

Detailed commentarys are included in HORCOM,which every user should read at least once.
Out of the output-screens the affiliated commentary appears with F1.

HORCOM8P offers ( almost ) all important methods of the classical astrology.An astrology-program, however,that meets the demands of all astrologers could hardly be realized.

The " Multiple Directions " of STEPHAN A. LEHRIEDER are also contained.

Statistical work with bigger files is available with search after different objects and search-criterions.F.e. : Sun in sagittarius or AC in sagittarius or Trigon sun-Venus...

AAF-Files ( AAF = " Astrologisches Austausch - Format",created by M.GARMS ),which is much used in german speaking countrys  can be changed into HORCOM-Files and vice versa.
In HORCOM8P, the AAF-Format can also be edited.

A particular emphasis,by the way the eldest part of HORCOM,ist the " MUENCHNER RHYTHMENLEHRE " of WOLFGANG DOEBEREINER.

HORCOM8P is no program that generates interpretation-text !

HORCOM8P is also no learning program for astrology ! but was primary established for asking critical questions about the astrological methods.

With the formation and development of HORCOM, many engaged astrologers have participated.
Thanks to them !
They have greatly enriched the program.At the other side,the newcomer to HORCOM needs many hours to  study the numerous options of HORCOM.
I myself had originally the intention to pursue a hobby.But meanwhile it is often real hard work if it comes to search for bugs.

I hope,that only few errors are still remaining.Please contact me per e-mail,if You find any !
