• Galastro Deep Space Objects, $75
  Besides the Stars: View more than 1,100 black holes, pulsars, quasars, x-ray sources and other nonstellar objects in relation to any natal chart! Presented in Solar Fire star-file format, this data collection enables you to see the positions of these mysterious objects in Solar Fire's Planetarium view, and to list their aspects or parans to a natal chart. In Solar Fire 5, you are also able to show selected nonstellar objects in tables on the same page as the chart wheel, and even place them around the chart wheel itself. In Solar Maps, you will be able to see any of them in relation to any point on Earth at any given moment. This compilation by Philip Sedgwick is the result of over two decades of work and includes experimental delineations of possible meanings for all of the black holes, and the accompanying booklet contains suggestions for interpreting the other classes of deep-space objects.

Adding to programs like Printwheels, Timegraphs and Solar Fire that you can use in desktop publishing, Astrolabe now offers twodifferent astrological fonts. With these, all it takes is a few keystrokes to put astrological characters into your articles, books, brochures and charts. Each font includes glyphs in any point size you want, and it gives you all the standard astrological symbols for planets, signs, aspects, moon phases and more. Each of our fonts also has additional characters of its own. These fonts work just like any other standard alphabetic or symbol font you have on your computer. You get two versions of each font: TrueType and PostScript.

Now you can easily put astrological characters into your word processing and desktop publishing documents. Use these glyphs in text, tables, and even as additions to charts you have exported or cut and pasted from an astrological program. Or use them to make striking borders, diagrams, ads, business stationary or artwork with a distinctive astrological look.

• Character Set: Besides the usual glyphs, it includes European and ancient variants for Capricorn, the Sun, Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, plus a glyph for Lilith and a comet symbol. There are also old gyphs for fire, earth, air and water, and cardinal, fixed and mutable.

To keep font changes to a minimum, this font also includes characters for the Ascendant, MC, East Point and Vertex, a complete set of numbers, both regular and as subscripts, letter subscripts for "natal," "progressed," etc., and the slash, plus, minus, equals and bracket signs used by Uranian astrologers and Cosmobiologists.

 Other handy characters include 14 styles of stars; up, down and sideways arrows; a check mark; an angle symbol; and copyright and trademark symbols. And for fun, there are symbols for peace, yin/yang, "north," "don't," a horoscope wheel, infinity, and even a UFO.
