90° Dial

The 90° Dial is used to easily apply directed arcs to a natal chart. The dial has a 360° wheel in the center which shows the normal planet placements. The outer two rings are divided into 90°. One ring has red glyphs and one ring black ones, making it easier to distinguish them. Each degree of the outer ring represents one year of time. Clicking in the outer ring will rotate the red planet glyphs to their position at that time. For example, click on the 15°-degree mark in the outer ring (which represents the native's 15th year) and see that the planets are directed accordingly. Two ways to direct the planets are: Directing planets on a 90° Wheel, and: Quickly finding midpoints.


90º Dial

Directing planets on a 90° Wheel
Click the blue ring and hold the button down to move the Ring. Arc and Date are updated as its moves.
90º Wheel
90º Dial Quickly finding midpoints
Click on the blue ring to rotate it, Arc and Date boxes are updated as it moves. Click on the yellow ring and rotate it to any position. Now, type in a date or an arc and then set the outer ring to that arc/date.

Hold Ctrl key and drag a planet to the box under the pointer (as it is pointing to any midpoint).

New Graphic View Interface

Win*Star has a completely new graphical interface!

We now provide many new tools and features, but without leaving those already familiar with Win*Star Plus behind. You can work in the Classic view, which is very similar to Win*Star Plus, and work with Static wheels, or, you can work in the new Extended view, and work with Live wheels.

You still have access, in either of these new views, to all of the advanced chart data options you had in the Data view of the older version of Win*Star Plus.


View Interface

Classic View
Classic View is very similar to Win*Star Plus V2 with Static wheels, but now you can size Wheel Width or Wheel Height, and Zoom in or Zoom out.
View Interface
90º Dial Extended View
Live wheels very similar to what you may have already seen in Win*Star Express. You resize the window and the wheel will resize too. You can choose from a Single Wheel to a Quad-Wheel, and from four wheel styles: Standard House, Unequal House, Euro Wheel, or Aries Wheel.
