There is an impressive array of new tools and features available in Win*Star 6.0. Users of Win*Star Express v6 will already be familiar with some of these tools.

Aspects list box
The Aspects Toolbox gives a list of what aspects are in the current chart. Click on an aspect, and it will be highlighted in the wheel. A pop-up interpretation will appear.
Sort the aspects by planetary pairs, orb from exact, aspect types, angular separation, applying and separating, planets, aspects, and patterns found.
Select an aspect and press the History button to see when these two planets formed aspects in the past by transit, progression, or direction.
For Biwheels, you can select either chart or both charts to view the aspects between them and to obtain a quick overview of transits, progressions, and synastry aspects.

Synastry
A quick guide to the major interactions between two charts, synastry lists inter-aspects between the charts and midpoint contacts for the Sun/Moon and Venus/Mars. Aspects are listed by planet, in a traditional aspect grid. The orbs of separation and the houses that are linked by the aspect are also listed.

|
Current Date Control
Adjust the date and time of the outer charts, stepping them backward or forward by any time interval, or, use the animate buttons to watch transits, progressions, and directions move around the natal chart.
Quickly jump to a past or a future Lunar or Solar return, or to a New or a Full moon.
Advance any of the major planets to any of the four angles to find critical times throughout the day which are best for elective or predictive work.

Arabic Parts
Lists the positions of 131 Arabic parts, giving the longitude, formula, and in which house the part is found. Clicking on a part will show where in the chart wheel it is found.
|
|
|
Updated Time*Scan
See a time line with the major aspects, ingresses, planetary hours, angle transits, void of course times, and the changing house positions of the planets. Set it for lengths anywhere from three days up to twenty-one years
With a click of a button you can change from a scan view to a list view.

Star*Type Pattern
Your StarType is the whole-chart pattern that dominates your heliocentric chart. Extensive interpretive text is provided by Michael Erlewine, who has been studying these patterns for forty years. Also included here are the illustrated symbols he designed, making it simple to comprehend and remember the core idea of each StarType.

Around the wheel
Pick any planet to see where it is in its current cycle around the chart wheel, using transit, progressed, or directed motion. This tool gives a list of major aspects for the selected planet, those leading up to the present and those going into the future. Pick any aspect and look at a pop-up chart wheel to see what was happening. Quickly puts current aspects into a proper perspective and time frame.

|
|
Planetary Hours
A list of the beginning times of each planetary hour for the current day. Planetary hours were used to name the days of the week and have been observed, in an unbroken stream, since before 300 BC.
|
|
|
Midpoints
Contains a pop-up list of the chart's midpoints, with sign and house position (these can be sorted by planets or by position). Clicking on a midpoint will show the midpoint in the wheel, and pop-up keywords will identify the nature of the midpoint.
|
|
|
Phase Chart
Redraw the chart according to the phase angle between each planetary pair. This technique, developed by Michael Erlewine, gives a unique chart for each planet, and provides insight on how each planet of the planetary pair relates to all of the other planets.
