Irreducible
Many (most?) astrologers know that their astrology ‘works’. It provides them with valuable insight into their lives or the outside world. They may not be particularly interested in ‘how’ this works.

Alan Leo (1860-1917) and Kim Farnell’s biography, Modern Astrologers: The Lives of Alan & Bessie Leo (2019)

Astrocalc 6.5
The Astrocalc software programme has been around for a long time. Although it produced Huber charts they were not deemed to be of a quality suitable for studying the APA Diploma, so Astrocalc did not appear in our list of recommended software.
