But this number can be boosted by connecting to the ASTRODIENST site (see note at the bottom of this page *) for (tediously) downloading more asteroid files, one file at a time, which I used to do years ago! Especially recommended for their comprehensive SOLAR FIRE program, and their Asteroid Add-On category-editing supplemental disk, although it only contains 10,000 asteroids and many of those do not yet have names. Windows-based programs for all systems of astrology. (See my instructions below for running and using these Windows apps on your Mac.) Before each calculation, you can choose how many columns you want per page, and which information to include, such as Name, ID Number, Longitude, Declaration, Speed, etc… See my procedure and general suggestions, below, under Here’s My Method in the Mac Solutions section.Ĭosmic Patterns software applications are Windows-based, but also run well with Parallels (+ your own Windows OS) on a Mac. There is also an option in SIRIUS to create a small number of your own category groups of asteroids.Īll asteroid listings appear onscreen and are exportable as txt or pdf files. You may not think you need all these asteroids, but would you really want to miss out on some of the newer ones such as #249521 Truth ? Truth was the 249,521st asteroid to be discovered, so would not likely show up in smaller lists from other software developers.

Plus, SIRIUS has an amazing feature which automatically downloads extra asteroid files/names (providing you have the Sirius optional extra Asteroid app installed) from the ASTRODIENST website, while you are calculating a list when connected to the internet! How cool is that!! So you always have the latest list that is available!

SIRIUS firstly has an optional set of Asteroid disks for more than 19,000 Named asteroids (plus thousands of so-far Unnamed asteroids that later may receive names). SIRIUS provides complete up-to-date listings of all of the astrologically-available officially Named asteroids, available in Zodiac (Longitude) order ( necessary for serious asteroid work!), as well as Alphabetical, and in also sorts of various degree orders (such 45˚ for Cosmobiology charts). Developers of the Windows-based astrology software programs: Pegasus Kepler and especially SIRIUS which has a comprehensive asteroid calculation add-on feature for astrologers.
