Welcome to the club! I have been doing astrology for over fifty years, most of those as a programmer, not only the first person to ever program home microcomputers in astrologer (1977) and make those programs available to others (Matrix Software), but before that it was programmable calculators (published by HP), and before that 4-funciton calculators, etc.
And I programmed Vedic, Tibetan, Chineses, and on and on. More important was the research and in-depth articles on areas of astrology no one every looked at, like my 1976 “Astrophysical Directions, my Interface Heliocentric Nodes, the first long-range helio ephemeris (1975), etc.
I have dozens of free e-books at http://SpiritGrooves.net <http://spiritgrooves.net/>
Also many paperbacks on Amazone, plus published the first programming book on astrology in 1979, “Programming Manual for Astrologers, “ and so on.
Very…. Very few ever understood, used them, cared about them, or my work. We don’t do it for others, but for ourselves, because we want to. Right?
So, I appreciate what you are doing! My Bodhisattva name is “Sempa Chönyi Randgröl”
The dharma is the root, absolute truth, while astrology is one of the limbs of the yoga (relative), not the root.
Thanks,
