I might consider buying WSL. After all, once you know what you get with the buttons or the menus, the astrological symbols are universal.
Is Sidereal integrated in the software*?

No. Sidereal is not integrated in WSL.

And there also is circle division/harmonic 16 (22.5 degree) integrated in the four-level linear graphics diagram, but there you have also the option available of 360 degree linear diagram and also a 45 degree diagram.

The latter has the strong advantage when analyzing a special event that all planets (across all 4 levels [R, P, S, T]!) that mirror the vertical zero line in the center of the linear diagram constitute in each case a midpoint.

To illustrate this with an example: Say you want to analyze a special event that occured in your life. Then in WSL you pick up your stored birth chart data and as second step you choose day, time of day and location of the according event. (At this point ist seems necessary to say that in WSL you always have to provide time data entry in UTC! There is no time zone automatism available in WSL!) Then you can open this 45 degree linear diagram and there you have these 4 horizontal levels I talked about before and this vertical zero line in the center of the diagram. At the top margin you see numbers. Above the zero line there you can see the number 0 (0 degree). All across the diagram there are vertical lines and to the left side of the diagram starting from the zero line the numbers go from 2, 4, 6, …. 20 until the left margin of the diagram is reached (22.5 degrees). And mirror-inverted the same principle applies for the right side, again starting with the zero line, but this time the numbers have negative values (-2, -4, -6, … -20) until the Right margin of the diagram is reached.

All the planets/transneptunians that you can find positioned directly aligned with the zero line in the diagram center AND on the left and right margin respectively constitute event related factors.
And aside the center line and the left and right margin you can find event related midpoints: say you identify at the transit level Jupiter at -12.5 (degrees) and on the left side at the transit level Moon at 12 (degrees), then this Midpoint of MOt/JUt is event related. But this rationale also operates across the four levels! Say you find your progressive Sun at 8 and Kronos at -8 on the solar arc level then you have the event related Midpoint SUp/KRs. So you can see that the 45 degree linear graphics presentation provides you the advantage that you can find the event related midpoints in a swift and a conveniant manner.
Sorry for this cumbersome description.

Both sections of Hamburg School of Astrology, the Freiburg/Breisgau folks under the leadership of Karsten F. Kröncke and also the Hamburg folks under Michael Feist only work with tropical zodiac.
And the Ruth Brummund followers act the same way. They are no sidereals at all.

Thank you Zachariel for the information on the software. I have seen the diagram in the article I translated from Karsten and you describe it well. I find this approach interesting to get an overall look at the 4 Levels.
Will keep investigating to get a better grasp of the Uranian planets meaning to start up with.

I have to clarify again that my system and Hamburg school are different. I have different working method than Hamburg School. In my opinion, if you work with tropical zodiac, you have to take bigger orb, because tropical positions of planets will be much different from sidereal positions. I would not consider the moon position in tropical zodiac. I would ignore it, because lunar position between tropical and sidereal becomes too wide. But in sidereal zodiac I consider it like all other planets, depending on the correctness of the birth time.

Thanks for the information Linchi!
I understand you are not using the Moon in higher Harmonics. Makes sense.

I will share with you my approach and don't think my approach is bullet-proof, it is very perfectible. I have learned hard lessons but going back to my drawing board has paid dividends.
Sorry for not sharing my chart, I am a researcher at heart but I will share with you how I handle midpoints.

I play lottery with it. Over time, I have put my focus on transiting Jupiter over natal planets and 'lucky midpoints' mainly Jupiter midpoints. Every chart is different. That's why I don't say to look at your AS or MC or A/M unless they are in favorable positions and by that I mean not surrounded by 'difficult' midpoints.
I also use Fortuna because it falls 1 minute orb of my JU/MC midpoint and I saw in a video from Olga Morales that W.D. Gann used it once to win at a lottery draw. He even traveled in another US State to be right on the spot of the Eclipse degree.

So, I start by looking at the transiting Jupiter where it falls with an applying orb of 10 minutes to a natal planet or midpoint. If transiting Retrograde, I look at both sides, applying and separating. And if the Moon is involved in the picture, that's even better.

My last hit was Sept 11th - tJU (9d25 on 45 Wheel) was in my midpoint VE/PL-MC at 9Leo32-36. And the Moon in Scorpio had just sextile the Sun in Virgo and was applying by square to Jupiter in Aquarius.

I pulled a report from Solar Fire when AS, MC, A/M and anyplanet/MC and anyplanet/AS will hit my VE/PL-MC by Direct motion (conjunction, opposition). Squares, semi-squares, sesqui-squares also work but they imply additional conditions that I haven't completely deciphered yet.

The report will look something like this
Jup/MC Cnj MC Tr-Na 11:07:58 23°Ta06' D 23°Ta06'
Mar/Jup Cnj Asc/PF Tr-Tr 11:08:48 11°Sg07' D 11°Sg08'
Jup/PF Opp Ven/Jup Tr-Na 11:09:22 02°Aq59' D 02°Le58'

As you will notice, some activations are listed Tr-Na and others Tr-Tr (I prefer these ones over the Tr-Na as they show where the power activation comes from). I view it as activating vs receiving.
The icing on the cake is looking at the planets involved and see if they are Angular- tJU was on the IC and nVE/PL was on the MC. Intermediate House cusps with Placidus will also work but I prefer in that case when the planets involved are close to the cusp.
I start to play a slot machine about 5 minutes before the hit. At 11h02 I won $120 and at 11h05 $1,000

With the report I had generated, I won $2,500 overall on that day. I am looking forward for November 24th when Jupiter will go over this midpoint again this time in Direct motion.

I know everybody can come up with different theories that are consistent or even better than mine and I am always interested to hear about that.
I remember the quote from one of the best and most successful coaches in NFL history - Vince Lombardi -
"Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is." And I stay away from gambling when my chart is not saying it because I have a strong Saturn. Timing is everything!

Of interest, lucky winners to investigate

Best to you Zachariel and Linchi. Appreciate your input on the Uranian system.

In the book „Rules for Planetary Pictures“ we can find:

lottery SU+JU-UR (= SU/JU = UR/x). „x“ can be just another factor/planet/transneptunian.

lottery luck SU+JU-KR

lottery participant JU+NE-AS

Since you have won a not negligible amount of money with the slot machine it would be interesting if you inspect your natal chart/radix if you can find promising planetary pictures there (e.g. SU/JU = MC/KR or SU/JU = SU/KR). There should exist at least one luck promising planetary picture in your radix I assume.

If the radix does not contain promising planetary pictures for proneness to gambling luck then there will be not much hope in gaining profit from such activities. This is a well known astrological rule.

At https://astrologiewslforum.astrax.de/vi ... =112&t=197
you can find one example of astrological derivation of gambling luck (the late Swiss lottery winner Werner Bruni).

If you can identify promising planetary pictures in your radix - I‘m convinced there are some - and you have the software ZET Geo (Anatoly Zaytsev) installed on your PC then you should try to predict your lucky days and hours based on Microastrology. There should be a good chance to improve your hit rate by means of Microastrology. Linchi‘s developed Microastrology contains such a beauty of plain, straightforward and effective methods! These methods are really worth to be adopted by every single astrologer.

In the past I have experimented myself with event time related lottery but soon I had to quit because I had to accept the fact that my natal chart provided no promising planetary pictures.

Best wishes
Zachariel

Now that's interesting stuff Zachariel.
In the Planetary pictures you identify, I have
SU + JU - KR = my natal ASC 3' orb
SU + JU - UR = natal MA/JU 20' orb (that's a bit wide here but I will see)
I do have in the natal
SU = JU/UR (8min stellium) - ME/UR (30min) - JU/NE (3min)

I remember once a friend invited me to a Bingo game. I don't like Bingos, it's too slow, you wait for ever for the numbers to come out. But on that day, my JU/MC = Fortuna was highlighted by transits and I decided to go.
I won a full card worth $500 and since it was a Provincial draw (like all Bingo locations tied up in a network) I was the only winner in the entire Province. That's a good indicator of luck!

Thanks for the link to Zet9 Lite. Will have a look into it. Is there a big difference with the Pro version?

Best to you,
Ouranos

SU + JU - UR = natal MA/JU 20' orb (that's a bit wide here but I will see)
I do have in the natal
SU = JU/UR (8min stellium) - ME/UR (30min) - JU/NE (3min)

With the software WSL there you have an option to find all the days of a chosen year where transit Sun activates for example your radix midpoint MA/JU. You indeed seem to be a (born) lucky guy, a born lottery winner. ????

@ Software ZET:
Sorry to say that you won‘t get far with the lite version of ZET, if you truly want to engage in Microastrology. As far as I know, ZET lite does not sufficiently support uranian charts since ist provides only a basic set for amateurs of astrology. But of course for testing this software one should download the lite version. Later one can update to the Pro- or the Geo-version.
