Skylendar – powerful and portable astrology software

Skylendar is an astrology program built around the Swiss Ephemeris. It combines graphical charting with PostgreSQL-backed management of subjects, restrictions and other astrological data.

The application provides numerous chart types including multi-ring wheels, aspect scans, local horizon charts, ephemerides, astrocartography and primary directions. Calculations can run concurrently and several chart windows can be open at the same time.

Skylendar can import data from other astrology applications, export charts as SVG and operate in a web server mode.

This is free and open source software.
