Tony, have you seen my recent posts about the class I am taking 'Uranian
Astrology"?   Your post is very interesting and clear about one portion of
the class, Cosmobiology.  How long have you been using Cosmobiology?  

A main point of Uranian Astrology is speed analysis.  The teacher, Gary
Christen, a founding partner of Astrolabe (software company) has lecturered
'if one is to be a full time practising astrologer, can you afford to spend
2 or more hours preparing for a client, then probably 2 hrs  doing a
consultation.  The answer, of course, is no.  Well, this statement got my
full attention!!

Tommorow, Tues. is my fourth class (out of 10).  The homework, besides the
reading material, was to set up thee 360 degree dial and put our personal
points around the outside of the dial.  Those points are the Cardinal
points (0 degree of all the cardinals, forming the cross) Sun, Moon, MC,
MH, Node.  From what I understand right now, when a planetary picture forms
in connection with one or more of these points, the results are of a
greater effect.  Yes, this is similar to transits with the angles.  This
dial is said to have a quicker, visual effect, instead of meandering all
over a chart or checking out lists, etc. 

Another source of visual effects (which I have used quite  bit) is looking
at 45 degree graphs.  Astrolabe offers software called Timegraphs.  One
small part of that program that I use is pulling up a 45 degree graph of
the transiting planets, for a month at a time.  The lines (a solid line
track) of the transiting planets runs across the screen showing the dips
and curves of stations and retrogrades.
  The interesting part is that one's own planets are also shown in a broken
line across the screen.  Put the lines together and one can see when the
planets gang up on a natal planet.  Why is this interesting - the 45 degree
graph shows only the hard aspects.  Believe me it is very visual and works
very well.  On screen, the colors are quite distinctive and makes it very
easy to read.  The printout is quite clear and very handy for carrying
around with you or having it in sight  in your office.  There is so much
more in this program that I haven't touched yet.  Perhaps with this class I
will understand more of what genius it contains.

Regards, Carol 

Will keep the list posted.
