Enigma – in full Enigma Astrology Research – is an astrology program for Windows with a focus on astrological research.
With this version, Enigma already has a lot of functionality. I now want to work on a version that runs not only on Windows but also on macOS. I will completely rewrite Enigma and also add a lot of new functionality. The program will become multilingual, at least in Dutch and English. This will certainly take another year. Fortunately, you can also work perfectly well with the current version of Enigma.
The latest release of Enigma – version 0.8.0 – is now available for download. This version supports the calculation and analysis of horoscopes, various analysis techniques, progressive forms of astrology, the calculation, drawing, and analysis of horoscopes, and some forms of astrological research. Enigma automatically calculates coordinates and timekeeping rules for a given location and time.
A list is available with an overview of the functionality of Enigma 0.8.0.
Enigma is free and open source. Anyone can view the code and as a programmer, you are free to use (parts of) the code, provided the software in which you include that code is itself open source.
You can download Enigma and its documentation via the following links:
- Installation program and a manual for the installation.
- An on-line user manual is available from the application and also directly via the web. A PDF version of the same manual is automatically downloaded with the program.
- Developers manual, which can be useful for other programmers.
- Release notes.
- Artists: example datafile for research in Enigma.
Enigma runs on recent Windows versions, including Windows 11 and Windows 10. However, you might need to install additional software. You notice this after starting Enigma. If a window appears saying “You must install .NET Desktop Runtime to run this application”, click ‘Yes’. After installation, Enigma will start without this message.
