About AstroGraph Software
In
these times of a loss of traditional values, as we
perch on the edge of the Aquarian age, it becomes vital that we as a society
create new models of the world of Spirit to take us forward, to
sustain us in this challenging era. Astrology is such a model. And the AstroGraph
website brings you powerful ways to explore the subject of astrology.
TimePassages is designed to be a tool for beginning
the study of how the Astrological symbolism is put together, and an
introduction to a more detailed study of the subject of Astrology
itself. In addition, we also offer in-depth Astrology Reports
and other Astrology Products
to aid in self-discovery and a more well rounded understanding of astrology.
AstroGraph
Software was founded in 1995 by Henry Seltzer, with the publication of the first
version of TimePassages Astrology Software. Though our company has grown since then,
we remain dedicated to quality in Astrological information, software development
and support. TimePassages had been ten years in the making by the
time it was released, and has achieved a high level of sophistication
and excellence, especially in regard to its interpretation text.
The next three years were spent in porting the program to Windows from DOS,
as well as improvements on the original design, and providing a
Compatibility Report Add-on
(developed with the aid of Astrologer Peter Blue Eagle).
Another major effort during this period
was the creation of a native Macintosh version of the program. To
this end, Bob Schumaker was brought in, an accomplished Macintosh
developer since 1984. Bringing his many years of Macintosh application
development on board has allowed us to bring a unique offering to
the Macintosh astrology market. Many
people have also helped in the marketing and promotion of TimePassages,
among them Michael Baker, Courtney Mullin, Kevin Suggitt, Asia Seltzer,
and Jeri Passaro.
Today
TimePassages is better and more fully featured than ever. New features
made available in our recent versions include Solar Return charts,
Lunar Returns, Chart Relocation, a Transit Report which features
a sorted list of transits for a 3, 6 or 12-month period, a graphical
Transit TimeLine and a fully interactive aspect grid that includes
parallel and contra-parallel aspects. The full ACS Atlas is now
available as a standard part of the product, fully integrated with
the data entry. The Macintosh version, complete with the same set
of features as the Windows version of TimePassages, has also been ported
to OS X.

Henry
Seltzer has a graduate degree in Linguistics and has studied
Computer Science, and attended MIT as an undergraduate, but
his real study is Astrology and Tarot. Henry's study of Astrology
began with an interest in Jungian psychological symbolism
in 1975. He was immediately fascinated by how accurately the
planetary patterns reflect individual psychological reality.
He believes Astrology is a window from the material world
into the spiritual. Because Astrology is based on concrete
observable phenomena, and yet makes use of this data in an
entirely different way, it forms a bridge between the scientific
materialistic world view and that of the Artistic, the Esoteric,
and the Spiritual. |

Henry
began to work within this remarkable field of study, and to share
his insights with other people, and in 1985 created the computer
program that eventually became TimePassages.
His goal was to make
generally available the information that Astrology can provide. By making it easier
for people to explore
their own and other people's charts, or "horoscopes", Henry hoped that
anyone could gain greater self-knowledge and also that the world-shaking information
that Astrology really does work would spread.
