How do I read the scans?
Click on the Scans tab and you will see three bars, stretching horizontally
across the screen. These scans show you the astrological events happening

The first scan shows you red and green bars throughout the week.

This bar is designed to give you the impression of good and bad events
happening that week.
ª
Green bars indicate positive, fortunate times.
ª
Red bars indicate negative, unfortunate times.
Click on the day you want to view. If you are trying to pick a lucky time,
try a day that is predominately green. The yellow outline tells you which
day is selected.

2. Select an hour.
The aspects for the selected day are displayed in the second scan.

This scan is designed to show you which aspects are happening on

this day.
Find an hour that looks favorable (avoid red aspects), and click on it.

Note: F
The image above is the “Event View.” You can also display the day’s aspects “In Orb
View.” You can switch to this view by using the Options program and selecting this view
under the View tab.
F
You can choose which planets and aspects you want to display by using the
Options program.

unfortunates times.

How do I read the lists?

2. Then, look at the list on the right and find fortunate moments of when to act.

Wheel
You can click on the Wheel buttons to display a wheel for
the currently selected aspect.

What is On the Wheel?

the Transiting Natal Planets. It is what a chart would look like if you were
to make one for any moment of time.

About the technique
For centuries mankind has pondered the nature of luck. There are
countless theories of what it is, how it is obtained, what it means, and how
to hold on to it. The common explanation for luck is that it is a chance
combination of circumstances that can't be controlled. Though this is
undoubtedly true from a statistical point of view, it is not the explanation
held by those who benefit the most from luck. Lucky people usually feel that
they are doing something right and because of that they become magnets
for good fortune. Doing something right can be as profound as being
spiritually aligned with God and the universe, or it can be as insignificant as
wearing lucky socks. Unlucky people usually do not agree with this
explanation. The Book of Job explores the dynamics of the fortunate man,
his relationship with God, and the jealousies of the unfortunate.
Certainly feeling good and being lucky go hand in hand and, though the
simple explanation is that luck makes you happy, people who watch their
own luck usually believe it is at least a two-way street. Being happy is just
as likely to make you lucky as the other way around. The very word happy
has the same origin as the word happenstance, so, by definition, being
happy is being lucky. Good things happen to the lucky, or the lucky are
always there while good things are happening. This is the famous good
timing of the lucky.
Timing has always been a part of luck. There are good times and bad
times, times when you’re lucky and times when you’re unlucky. Astrology
has always been concerned with defining the nature of different events or
moments. If you can define the times where you are more likely to be lucky
then you can maximize your efforts at times when fortune smiles on you.
Though gambling is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of lucky
times, any effort in life can benefit from good luck – and for most of them
you aren’t fighting against long odds.
Astrologers have long considered Venus and Jupiter to be the benefics, the
bringers of good fortune. When either one makes a good aspect to your
chart it is a time of improved fortune. These will mark out several periods in
the month of one or two days that may have be luckier than others. But if
you’re at a casino, at a racetrack, or playing poker you need finer divisions.
In 1980, Joyce Wehrman wrote a pamphlet called “Winning! Zodiacal
Timing” where she detailed a method that was working for her. It uses the
current house cusps at the place she was gambling. When these transiting
house cusps (she used the Koch house system) were pointing to lucky
planets or points in her chart she found she was much more likely to win.

8
This method involved a lot of work, but, for her and the many people she
shared her technique with, it seemed to produce surprising results. She
visited Matrix Software to help us design our Winning report program for
DOS and taught us her techniques and all of the modifications that she was
always working on.

Her main technique consisted of two absolute principles:

1 One of your natal planets must be “On the Wheel.” This means the chart
for the current place and time must have a house cusp (any except the
6th or 12th) activating a natal point by conjunction, square, or
opposition.
2 You must have a transiting planet activating your natal chart. The natal
planet should be a gambling planet. A gambling planet is any natal
planet that is in or ruling the 5th house of speculation, the 9th house of
gambling and luck, the 2nd and 8th houses of money, the 11th house
of dreams, or the 10th house as second house of money for the ninth
cusp. Your midheaven and ascendant are always used because they
represent you. Activation means making either a conjunction, opposition,
or square. She used other minor aspects at times but was cautious
with them.

She also cautioned against gambling when a midpoint involving Mars,

Saturn, or Neptune are activating you natal chart.
Joyce worked with lists of events, like you will find under the Winning
Time’s Lists tab or printout. Many people found these difficult to work with,
so we’ve added some scans and winning times bar graph to make the
information more accessible. First time users will probably want to stick
with the Winning Times tab, that collects the positive and negative aspects
and displays the count in a simple bar graph, the larger the green, the
luckier the time.
Nobody wins all the time. The trick is to stop gambling before you begin
losing. Many experimenters find that they begin winning during a lucky time
and then don’t stop when the time turns unlucky.
