Installation:

Download and install the Earth version of the program and installer from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/symsolon/

Let me know and I'll send you the files that turn it into a Harnic version.

(you may need to use the installer so that it sets up the configuration files correctly).


Configuration:

Go to TAB Settings -> Preferences

In TAB Planets: activate the Harnic Planets and deactivate Non-Harnic ones.

In Aspects: Harn Astrology uses the 1st 6 unitary divisors: 360, 180, 120, 90, 72, 60

In Transits:
Month: , Nolomar, Yael, Epeon, Alaran, Kenor, Mergus, 
Year: , Nolomar, Yael, Epeon, Alaran, Kenor, Mergus, 
10 Year: , Nolomar, Epeon, Alaran, Kenor, Mergus, 
50 Year: , Nolomar, Alaran, Kenor, Mergus,

A bit buggy
anything but Symbolon Table should work
It helps to avoid repaint crashes by closing open views before switching to / modifying a user/target/person or changing things in preferences.

Classic Scope contains many options. There is a dropdown box on the right that switches between modes / datas.

Basic Datas and Current Matrix should contain planetary data for the person's birth or for the date changed to on the left of the box.

Horoscope Matrix compares Birth Date data with date data entered in the box. The combined matrix contains aspect matches that are used for Personal Daily Horoscopes for the date selected.

For example: Nolomar Conjunct Nolomar - it's your Birthday!

A strength line under the aspects in the matrix indicate how closely the planets are to matching. Ignoring weaker Aspects or change preferences planet data to have smaller range of matching.

A number of files can be useful for translating aspect data to Horoscope Data.

Current Matrix shows the current state of the skys. Example of using the Current Matrix to show general world-wide Horoscope Effects:

In Larane 692 Kenor, Epeon and Mergus are in a light conjunction to one another in his 6th House. These planets are passing near Angberelius giving 4 planets in fire (and only 1 in water). Astrologically from Miganath's birth Mergus also mirrors these 3 planets from the time of Miganath's birth (Kenor, Epeon and Mergus)

Miginath's father is in failing health. In the Final Months of 692 we see Kenor and Mergus in near conjunction also as Mergus is again mirroring the Kenor of Miginath's birth. The mirroring grows ever stronger up to the new year. Torastra died of old wounds on the last day of Morgat 692.

Miginath is now 40 (nearing 41). The first half of Nuzyael 693 sees a growing conjunction of Alaranal and Epeon which then fades (and Mergus still mirrors Miganath's birth Kenor). In the month of his crowning in Peonu Miganath's horoscope is full of many and confusing signs. But on the 30th (of Peonu) all the planets pass in close alignment to one another (and in the summer signs) - an auspicious configuration for Miginath's first month as King.


Horoscope Matrix shows the relationship between the person's birth and the current state of the skys. This would provide a daily horoscope for a given person (and others born near that date).



Horoscope aid:

These are for an individual's daily horoscopes. It is possible to determine the daily horoscope from the person's birth date using a Harnic Astrology program to compute the actual planetary conjunctions or, more likely, a random table to produce the output with dice rolls and thumbrules (since the conjunctions are practically random anyway).

The data attached would be the most likely reference someone would use to convert the conjunctions produced into usable words or as an example of what outputs might look like. (grep is an ideal tool to use with it.)

Rather than a table producing random conjuntions just outputting a random set of lines from the data file would be more direct. Say 0-3 from each of the conflict/Romance/Self/Family sets (listed as HEADER CONFLICT, etc.)

And, of course, a skilled astrologer / gamemaster wishing to use as a prescient device would slip a couple predictions in that fit with their plans on top of the generic output.

The meaning of "Mergus Square Nolomar" is read as the <curent position of the planet 1> <the aspect/angle to the other> <the recorded position of the 2nd planet at the time of the individual's birth> basically means Mergus is +/-90 deg around the circle from the position the sun was in at the time of the individual's birth. According to McDonnald's Astrology article Harnic astrologers use the first 6 quotents of 360 degrees: 0 conjunct, (360/2=)180 opposite, (360/3=)120 trine/TRIGON, (360/4=)90 square/QUADRAT/quartile, (360/5=)72 QUINTIL, etc. while seems pretty close to the data available in the file. (There is no quintile data in the file AFAIK.)


McDonnald Astrology wrote:
Aspects
The angle of longitude separating two planets is called their aspect. Certain aspects imply special relationships between the planetary forces involved. Two planets with the same longitude are in conjunction. Other important aspects are oppsition (180 degree separation), trine (120 degrees), quartile (90 degrees), quintile (72 degrees), and sextile (60 degrees). The angles are the consequence of dividing a 360 degree circle by increasing integers, and so conjunction is called the first aspect, opposition the second aspect, and so on to the sixth aspect, sextile.



Korson Birth Horoscope
1/28/699 -Korson is unsure what time of day he was born.
Thay, Melderyn, Harn


Code:
   Planet   God   Convocation   Color   Metal
   Mergus   Morgath   Odivshe   blue   iron
   Kenor   Save-K'nor   Savorya   violet   tin
   Alaran   Larani   Lyahvi   red   copper
   Epeon   Peoni   Fyvria   green   lead
   Yael   Ilvir   Jmorvi   yellow   silver
   Nolomar   Agrik   Peleahn   orange   gold

Your Birth Horoscope shows:

Epeon Conjunct Alaran (0')
Nolomar SemiQuadrant Kenor (45')
Nolomar Quadrant Mergus (90')


Epeon conjunct Alaran confers ardent passion which manifests itself in art and a physical desire for the other sex.
Nolomar SemiQuadrant Kenor invigorates you and makes you extremely well-disposed to friends and loved ones.
Nolomar square Mergus lowers your motivation to get things done.

Also Nolomar was close to being in conjunction with Epeon and Alaran both which could give you a tendency towards:


Nolomar conjunct Epeon confers a warmheartedness to you which makes you more attractive.
Nolomar conjunct Alaran makes you more energetic.
However you also have a slight tendency to be extravagant or indulgent.

With 3 out of 6 planets in the Spring constellations, 2 others nearby and none opposing you have very strong Fyvrian Energy which is also true for your sunsign. You do well with the earth and positive growing things. You have similarly strong aversion to Lyahvi.


Sunsign: ULANDUS: The Tree
Nuzyael 4th - Peonu 3rd

The great tree is, naturally, symbolic of both change and consistency (mostly the latter) in nature, both the growth and decay of natural processes. Ulandus has a wide, primal meaning. The tree is particularly symbolic of the patient growth of living things and of their ability to withstand the ravages of time. As an earth sign and the first sign of spring, the tree is symbolic of the decay of organic detritus to fertilize the new, a symbol of transition and of the wisdom that recognizes this basic, universal principle of cyclic renewal.

Persons born under Ulandus are said to have an affinity with nature, to live constantly changing lives, but to tenaciously maintain a profound sense of personal identity. They are reliable in their ways and are said to possess the kind of wisdom that can lend strength in troubled times. They often seem aloof from the world around them, although they will bend enough to survive the winds of change. Their lives are more governed by the universal cycles of growth and decay than by the actions of others.
