IMPORTANT! Don't forget to read the pdf manual: Omnicycles_4.pdf (It will be installed within the main
Omnicycles folder). It is full of information on all the newer features of Omnicycles, how to access them, and much more!

ALSO: If you would like us to let you know as soon as an update is available, just drop me a line at:
dboltoncreations@gmail.com with the header "Omnicycles updates". I will be glad to inform you whenever
we have the newest version ready, or perhaps a new astrology book that may interest you. And don't worry:
we will never "spam" you, for we hate that as much as you do!

The ZIP file you downloaded contains three main files:

1) Omnicycles_4_05.msi  This is the Omnicycles program, Version 4.05.  It is now fully functional, even as far
as the generating of graphs is concerned, although you will only be able to do graphs up to August, 2018 with 
this free version. A very special addition to Omnicycles (starting in version 3.0) is the ability to generate
files that can then be converted into "Google Earth Pro" format, so that you may view any natal chart in
"3D".  This feature fully functional even in the free version. We think you'll agree that this represents a fantastic 
learning tool for astrologers everywhere!

The other new features of Omnicycles are also free. And we are planning to add some novel techniques, so stay 
tuned for future versions.

Omnicycles lets you do an unlimited number of natal charts, and either view them on-screen, or print 
them out.

Those who like to experiment will appreciate the fact that now, the natal chart can not only be displayed 
in the standard longitude coordinates, but also as a...

a) "Right Ascension" chart, using equatorial coordinates expressed in zodiacal degrees

b) "Prime Vertical" chart (another name for "Campanus Mundoscope")

c) "Horizon chart" (or a type of "Local Space chart")

d) "Meridian Chart". This one may be a "first" in astrological software. It represents the natal positions 
projected (from the East Point) onto the plane of the Meridian, which is perpindicular to the Equator.

e) The "Zenith Chart". Due to the amount of information given in this very special chart, and the way it 
is presented, this is, in our view, the best Zenith chart available today.

f) Heliocentric Chart. Nothing so special about this one (as many programs offer the heliocentric positions),
but we thought we'd add it for anyone who wants to investigate its possibilites.

Our research has shown that both several of these coordinate systems can be valuable tools for getting additional 
information about the individual, both in natal work, as well as with event astrology (transits). Of course, these features 
will at the moment only be of interest to astrologers, yet the "newbie" need not dispair! Within the next year or so, I 
plan to write a couple of short eBooks showing how these techniques may be used.

As a matter of fact, I have already one book that you should definitely check out if you are at all
interested in the astronomy behind the natal chart. Its title is "Technical Astrology Simplifed."
Containing 69 full-color illustrations, it will give you a deep understanding of what is "behind" 
the construction of natal charts, and much more! Just go to Amazon.com, type in "David Bolton"
and "Technical Astrology Simplified", and see if it may be of interest to you!

And speaking of learning about astrology...

2) Also included in this torrent is my eBook, "Understanding Astrology" (the pdf file). This short course on 
Astrology and Natal Chart Interpretation will be of great help to the beginner who wishes to interpret the
charts that he/she generates using Omnicycles, or any other astrology program, for that matter.

3) Another pdf file, "Astrology Graphs" is also in the .zip file. This book explains just how to interpret the graphs 
that can be generated with Omnicycles (paid version).

                                 HOW TO INSTALL OMNICYCLES
					   
>> IMPORTANT!  To install on Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, you must RIGHT-click on
the "Omnicycles_4_05.msi", and from the menu that appears, select "Install as administrator".
To install Omnicycles on your Windows system, do the following:

First,  Extract the files from the "omnicycles.com.zip" file you downloaded
(which I assume you already did, or you wouldn't be reading this file...)

1) Windows XP:  Double left-click the Omnicycles_4_05.msi file, and the installation process will begin.

2) On Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10: Right-click on file, and choose "Run as administrator" in order to install.
If "Run as administrator" is not on the list, simply left-click the .msi file.

3) Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10: If Omnicycles_4_05.msi fails to install (if you get an error message, for example), 
do this: Right Click on the Omnicycles short cut, and then click on troubleshoot compatibility, and follow 
the advice given there. 

4) Once installed, restart your computer (this is so the astrological signs fonts can be activated).

5) Enjoy using Omnicycles!

TIP: When you first start out with Omnicycles, and wish to do a graph, I recommend you use the "themes" 
option. From the main menu, select "File" (above, left), and then "Themes". In any case, there are many help
screen that you can use for guidance.

IMPORTANT! Don't forget to read the pdf manuel: Omnicycles_4.pdf (It will be installed within the main
Omnicycles folder). It is full of information on all the newer features of Omnicycles, and how to access them.
