Kepler Features in alphabetical order!!!
Kepler can be used by people with any level of experience, from novice to professional. Although this may sound impossible, we have made it possible by having well organized menus; novices can stick to the basics, and experts use the advanced features.

- AstroMaps: Learn More >
Maps of any geographic area of the world with lines drawn through them which indicate areas of astrological sensitivity. Treasure Maps, local space maps, horizon maps, geodetic maps, and zodiac sign maps. Zodiac sign maps are AstroMaps that show where the zodiac sign of the Ascendant and MC change. A horizon map is a slight variation of a local space map; the horizon map plots the actual house cusps whereas in a local space map house Asc lines are drawn due east-west and the MC lines are drawn due north-south. The planet lines in a horizon map and local space map are identical. We also added the ability to print an AstroMap in larger sizes, with the information at the top and bottom in smaller type, and we added the ability to select the color of the water and land.

This is absolutely necessary in order to calculate a chart accurately!

- Ease of Use:
- While you enter the person’s name (or place of birth), a list of names (or places) to select from automatically appears – no hunting around or pressing keys to tell Kepler to look up the data.
- Handy features like the ability to remove the listing of famous charts so you can see only your own with 2 mouse clicks make using the program fun and easy.
- Just do what you need to do: for example suppose you need to change the spelling of a person’s name that has been saved on disk; all you do is change the spelling and the database is updated for you. Removing data is just as easy.
- When entering the place of birth, you can simply begin entering the place, and then you also have the option to narrow the listing of cities to one country or state, a useful feature when you are unsure of the correct spelling.
- Any printout being viewed on the screen can be printed by simply clicking the “Print This Screen” button. See also the discussion of “batch mode” and “interactive mode” above for more information on this.
- If you are pre-selecting printouts (“batch mode”) and need to un-select a printout, just un-check the box.
- Seemingly complex requests like a BiWheel with Jack’s natal chart in the center and Jill’s progressed chart on the outside is very easy to do.
- Visual previews that show you the AstroMap, wheel style or wheel feature that you are selecting make it easy to get exactly the printout desired before you view or print it.
- Customize a wheel while you select it, and also make these selections the new default if you like.
- Easy Conversion of Old Style Calendar (Julian) to New Style Calendar (Gregorian).

You can enter the date when a person got married, was in an accident, or experienced other major events, and obtain a total score based on how many transiting and progressed aspects occurred that match the events. Then you can adjust the birth time and compare scores. You can, of course, change the astrological weighting for each transiting or progressed aspect. For the astrologer who is serious about chart rectification, this feature is a big help
