Check out the new Group Astro Dynamics report]

JigSaw v2 is a powerful astrological tool designed to take astrological pieces and put them together to help you see the Big Picture.

JigSaw is divided into three sections:

Each section is composed of a distinct and different set of tools created for examining the astrological relationships between people and life. JigSaw v2 is bigger and better than ever. The features of version 1 have been expanded and automated to increase both the accessibility to beginners and the scope for professional astrologers.

Family Patterns

You will be absolutely thrilled with the new automated Group Astro Dynamics report in the family patterns section of JigSaw version 2.

This unique profile report unveils the psychological dynamics in your family or any group. With the help of JigSaw version 2 you can produce a report of up to 10 pages at the click of a button consisting of:

  • house and sign emphasis in any group of 3 or more people
  • the prominent harmonic and midpoint patterns, complete with an analysis of any vacant points
  • interpretations text written by world-renowned astrologer Bernadette Brady revealing the patterns of the group

This Group Astro Dynamics profile is unique to JigSaw version 2 - a world premiere. The profile report is based on the work of internationally-acclaimed astrologer Bernadette Brady. You will be amazed at what you find out about your groups and how different individuals interlink into the group dynamic.

The Family Patterns section also enables you to manually search for patterns within groups of charts. Once you have found your pattern you can click on the delineate button and produce your own profile report with interpretations. This section has to be seen to be believed!

Family Patterns is an exciting way of doing multi-chart synastry. It takes any group of people or events that have something in common, and displays their charts on the screen side by side in linear rather than circular form. This immediately lets you see what degrees are shared by the charts.

You can draw a line through any degree to see what all the charts have on that degree, or highlight any planet or midpoint to see where it falls in each of the charts. You can also instantly change the harmonic of the charts to see the various kinds of inter-aspects or harmonic patterns within the group. Plus, you can view any chart in wheel form.

The program will also search for family patterns, using whatever harmonics, planets, midpoints or degrees you specify. It then quickly displays the patterns it finds in easy-to-read circular diagrams.

You'll be amazed to see how the purpose of the group is shown astrologically, and how the different individuals link into the group dynamic!

Rectification

The Rectification section is NOW AUTOMATED making finding an unknown birth time easier than ever.

Just enter the life events and natal details and, in an instant, you will get a list of suggested birth times ranked in order of the scores that they received when tested against transits, progressions and directions. The automated process is an excellent introduction to rectification, while the manual process has been improved for greater ease of use. This section is now ideal for both the beginner and advanced astrologer.

Other exciting new features in this section include facilities to rectify using secondary and tertiary progressions and solar arc directions. Astrologers can also use more than one graph to combine both Geocentric and Heliocentric coordinate systems in the rectification process.

Another delightful addition is the improved Dynamic Chart. It's now possible to watch all of the planets rotate around a chart. Astrologers will want to spend hours just in this section alone watching transiting, progressing and solar arc directed planets spin around charts highlighting important aspects before their very eyes!

Even if you know the birth time, the rectification module can tell you much about how a chart responds to transits. It can also help you make minor adjustments to a known birth time so as to improve the accuracy of forecasts.

Research

The research section of JigSaw has to be one of the most powerful software reasearch tools on the market. Firstly researchers can tabulate and graph trends with unprecedented ease, searching large groups of charts for a wide variety of astrological factors.

Whatever the user specifies results in an instantaneous graphic display of results. Bar or polar graphs let you see in a flash whether the effect is worth pursuing, and tables give exact figures. Plus, you can click on any part of a graph or table for an instant chi-square evaluation.

And now you can search with for specific criteria within your chart files in the powerful new Criteria Search section. The list of criteria is seemingly never-ending. To give you an inkling of just some of the possibilities the criteria include planets in signs, houses, decanates, plus essential dignities, altitude, declination, azimuth and more. This new version of JigSaw even allows you to search for degree and chart almutens! Simply set up your almuten in the new almuten editor and add it to your list of criteria.

A new data entry screen for easier use with extra options makes for the professional researchers' dream software. You can add unlimited numeric or textual data fields to each record in a project and this data may be used to select or filter records using Boolean logic. Data files can be of unlimited length!

Here as in all other parts of JigSaw you can keep a file of notes associated with each project you do. You can also make permanent, high-resolution printouts of all the charts, tables, graphs and diagrams, either for a personal record of research or for articles and research papers.

ATLAS JigSaw version 2 can be linked to the ACS PC Atlases which cover the world with their instant place and time zone information. The ACS atlases have instantly recallable information to help you calculate your charts quickly and efficiently.

JigSaw Version 1


JIGSAW - Puts the pieces together when you're working with any group of charts.

JigSaw is a powerful and fun-to-use Windows program that enables you to find the connecting links in large or small groups of horoscopes.

It has three sections:

Family Patterns is an exciting new way of doing multi-chart synastry. It takes any group of people or events that have something in common, and displays their charts on the screen side by side in linear rather than circular form. This immediately lets you see what degrees are shared by the charts.

You can draw a line through any degree to see what all the charts have on that degree, or highlight any planet or midpoint to see where it falls in each of the charts. You can also instantly change the harmonic of the charts to see the various kinds of inter-aspects or harmonic patterns within the group. Plus, you can view any chart in wheel form.

The program will also search for family patterns, using whatever harmonics, planets, midpoints or degrees you specify. It then quickly displays the patterns it finds in easy-to-read circular diagrams.

You'll be amazed to see how the purpose of the group is shown astrologically, and how the different individuals link into the group dynamic!

Rectification elaborates on the Graphic Rectification system pioneered by Bernadette Brady. You start by inputting the birthdate with a range of possible birthtimes, and give the program a dozen or more timed or untimed life events. The program then displays graphs showing how often each degree was hit by the transits for these events. Taking the peaks in these graphs,the program tries them out as possible Ascendants and MCs for the place of birth. Finally, it lets you recheck the life history against these possible charts, letting you judge transits to the possible chart angles according to the type of event.

An additional dynamic chart view displays the proposed natal chart in wheel form so you can watch the transiting planets move around it as you run it forward in time. You can run it fast or slow, and can stop the motion at any point to examine the transits in detail.

Even if you know the birthtime, the rectification module can tell you much about how a chart responds to transits. It can also help you make minor adjustments to a known birthtime so as to improve the accuracy of forecasts.

Research brings unprecedented ease to searching large groups of charts fora wide variety of astrological factors. These include all types of zodiac divisions (from hemispheres and polarities down to degrees); all kinds of house divisions; Gauquelin sectors; aspects and harmonics; dignities; andcoordinate systems (including latitude, RA, declination, altitude and azimuth). You can also add up to 50 extra points (eclipses, fixed stars, important degrees, etc.) to the standard chart points and seven major asteroids.

Whatever you specify, you get an instantaneous graphic display of results. Bar or polar graphs let you see in a flash whether the effect is worth pursuing, and tables give exact figures. Plus, you can click on any part of a graph or table for an instant chi-square evaluation.

For all the charts in a large database, you can easily change the zodiac(tropical or any sidereal), house system (nine, plus equal from any point),node (mean or true) or coordinate system (geo or helio). You can generate matched or random control groups, and can separate specific charts (like all with Mars in Aries, etc.) into separate data files for further study.

Here as in all other parts of JigSaw you can keep a file of notes associated with each project you do. You can also make permanent, high-resolution printouts of all the charts, tables, graphs and diagrams, either for a personal record of research or for articles and research papers.

Although JigSaw's three sections are each designed primarily for certain tasks, you can use any chart file in any section. In fact, you can study a database in one section, and then do additional analysis in another.

Easy Data Entry.
You can enter birth data directly into JigSaw or import charts from Solar Fire, Blue*Star, QuickCharts, or any program in the NovaSystem.

Non-Intimidating Instructions.
Besides on-screen explanations of each program option, there's a thorough, picture-filled manual that explains research principles as well as how to use the program.

With its ultra-clear graphic displays and easy Windows operation, JigSaw makes astrological research not only quick, but extremely enjoyable and rewarding.
