Personal astrological birth charts are now available in the astro section. It was indeed an interesting exercise in coding with web services, parsing xml, and what-have-you. The place search seems quite responsive to ordinary requests, such as ‘Glastonbury UK’ or ‘Glastonbury USA’. The time zone and daylight savings are from the Olson tz data, and they seem pretty accurate, though I haven’t tested them that much. Core astrological data is powered by Walter Pullen’s Astrolog. If anyone spots any glaring blunders, do let me know! Maybe I’ll try to include PDF downloads of charts and interpretations if I get round to it…

Personal Astrological Birth Charts Coded
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Astrology Section Started…
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Started the astrology section from scratch. For the time being I’ve only coded “now” charts for the location Glastonbury at the time you load the page, though you can see current planetary positions and aspects.
Given some miraculous enthusiasm, I’ll enable user-entered times and places, and even resurrect personal charts with interpretations.
