Skylendar is a modern design astrology software, designed for the KDE 3.x desktop environment.
It includes a modern interface, a powerful data/restrictions sets management, drag’n’drop, multi-windows, animation and a SQL database searching/loading/saving interface. Skylendar is built upon the Swiss Ephemeris library (sweph), which uses precomputed ephemeris files.
It is the successor of KAstrolog 5.4, a KDE port of the famous W.D. Pullen’s Astrolog.
The Skylendar main window is basically divided into two vertical parts: an icon tree for the data/restrictions sets, subchart management, and a workspace where all the graphical charts are displayed.
The code is fairly portable and has a modern design and interface.

- Batch Chart – displays an aspects list like in the Standart Text List Chart, but instead of computing the aspects between one master and one slave ring, the user will give a SQL condition (after the SQL WHERE clause), so that all the data sets that match this condition will temporarily replace the current master, and the aspects with the slave ring will be calculated and displayed.
- Exotic objects such as Vulcan, Proserpine, etc.
