The History of Cosmic Patterns Software Development
Given below is a chronological list of major turning points, innovations, and developments:
1973 - 1979
David Cochrane begins developing astrology software on mainframe computers in the Fortran and Cobol languages. With assistance from Neil Michelsen and Mark Pottenger in getting the planetary calculations to run, he adds calculations of harmonics, cosmbiology, Vedic dasas, cosmobiology interpretations and other features, all running on an IBM mainframe computer with punch cards.
1980
David moves the software from the mainframe to the TRS-80 computer, and converts the software from Cobol and Fortran to the BASIC language.
1980 - 1981
David begins selling an all-purpose astrology software program for the TRS-80 that can produce aspect grids, midpoint trees, transit listings, and other calculations.
1981 - 1982
David decides to close his astrology software company and work for Matrix software to collaborate with other programmers. He works there for one year, and develops the first interpretive astrology software for home computers for them, and also collaborates with them on developing their first all-pupose software rather than software that provides only specific calculations.
1982
David returns to Gainesville, FL and begins writing the Kepler software and starts Comic Patterns Software.
1983 - 1984
Some highlights are:
1985 - 1990
Features, features, features! Under a new management, Cosmic Patterns grows rapidly, hires an additional part time programmer and office help. Customers are enthusiastic about Kepler and send in requests nearly every day. Cosmic Patterns does little advertising and grows by word of mouth.
1991 - 1997
Windows 3.1 arrives and DOS gradually becomes extinct. It takes several years to convert the large amount of code to Windows and it is not until 1996 that the Windows version of Kepler is made available. Windows 3.1 is not completely stable and the release of Windows 95 in 1995, which is more stable and easier to use than Windows 3.1 brings the DOS operating system to be nearly completely superceded by Windows. Cosmic Patterns begins advertising more and has a larger presence at conference trade shows in the USA and around the world. The increased advertising helps Kepler reach the attention of people who otherwise would be unaware of the program. The number of features in Kepler continues to grow and now includes many technical calculations and calculations for many schools of astrology.
1998
Cosmic Patterns Software moves into a new office building.
1998 - 2002
Kepler continues to expand and improve, with breakthroughs like powerful and breathtaking AstroMaps, a free online chart service, the Live Mini Reading, comprehensive research features, etc.
March, 2003
Kepler 6, the Fulfillment of a Dream. With Version 6, Kepler's user interface was redesigned and modernized. The clean, sharp, and elegant screens transform Kepler and set a new standard for software. Also, the number of features in Kepler has now grown to almost an extraordinary level, with very powerful and extensive research features, AstroMaps, graphic forecasts, Vedic astrology, etc. A team of programmers at Cosmic Patterns worked intensively to make this possible. The cost for developing this new level of software was very high, but worth it.
August, 2004
Kepler 7: With Kepler 7 final touchups to the user interface were made. The range of calculations and innovations in Kepler becomes even more impresive. Kepler 7 introduces the extraordinarily powerful and elegant AstroSignature forecast as well as the compatibilty, pairs, and natal AstroSignature research, and huge improvements to the Vedic calculations, sky map, fixed stars analysis, fixed stars analysis, asteroids, etc. We are now transitioning to a new level of software that reaches beyond the software of the 20th century. The range of features has expanded what we had originally imagined could be offered in any one program without requiring customers to purchase options. A marketing decision to keep Kepler extremely inexpensive by including all features in one product for a relatively very low price was made, with an interest in making Kepler available to as many astrologers as possible. This "generosity" may have not been the wisest decision from a business standpoint but customers do appreciate having a magnificent program for a low price. Kepler 6 and Kepler 7 are arguably the most important updates in the history of the Kepler program.
May 1, 2008
Sirius was released. Sirius is so comprehensive, elegant, and easy-to-use that astrologers who have specialized needs such as using primarily Vedic, Huber, symmetrical, Hellenistic, or Medieval techniques or who work primarily in research or financial astrology no longer need to purchase specialized astrology software. Sirius surpasses most of these specialized programs in features and ease of use. Sirius represents a new concept in astrology software: extraordinary comprehensiveness that eliminates the need for almost any other software. Kepler 7 is still available for people who do not need the power of Sirius, and Kepler 7 owners can upgrade to Sirius.
July, 2013
Cosmic Patterns Software acquires Matrix Software, which provides a larger team of software developers, a website developer, an enormous number of new interpretive reports, and some excellent software features developed over more than 40 years by the programmers at Matrix Software. The larger company is more productive and efficient. Some of the original workers at Matrix Software continue to work in the new company and are busy improving the Matrix Software products.
November, 2014
Sirius 2.0 is made available. Sirius 2.0 marks a big step forward by not only having many new features but also in introducing features to integrate the software with online services. For example, links to the online AstroDatabank data and the ability to select ANY dwarf planet or asteroid by having the ephemeris file automatically download extend the power of your laptop or desktop computer by getting information from files that are too large to install on your hard drive. Also, an increasing number of Mac users are now running Kepler and Sirius on their Mac computers using the CrossOver Mac software. CrossOver Mac is a huge improvement for many people over installing products like Parallels and Windows beecause it is less expensive, does not require partitioning the hard drive and most importantly does not require the Windows operating system at all. Also, Linux users are now using the CrossOver Linux software to run Kepler and Sirius on their computers that have the Linux operating system installed.
October, 2015
Kepler 8 is made available. Kepler 8 is a huge improvement. It brings to Kepler many dozens of features that previously were only in Sirius. The user interface is also greatly improved with features like the same Page Designer feature that is in Sirius. Wheel styles and many other features are greatly improved.
2016
In 2016 the number of tutorial videos grows to over 250! There are now tutorial videos on an enormous range of astrological topcis and the videos are free. There have been hundreds of thousands of views of these videos and the feedback is extrmely positive. An index into the videos is available at videos page. Cosmic Patterns Software and Matrix Software have evolved to be much more than software companies. The companies have become centers for a wide range of information services. Software, education, training, and research are closely interconnected and we are providing tools resources, products, and services in all of these areas. It has been David's vision from the founding of Cosmic Patterns Software in 1982 that the real potential and power of astrology software is opened up when there are educational and training services, and opportunities for people to collaborate.
August, 2016
The Kepler Club and Win*Star Club are established. Membership in the Kepler Club is available to owners of Kepler and Sirius, and the membereship in the Win*Star Club is available to owners of Win*Star Standards, Extended, or Pro. Members can attend a monthly two-hour online class, get discounts for seminars, and participate in the Kepler Astrologers Certification and Win*Star Astrologers Certification programs. Recipients of these certifcates have demonstrated their professional proficiency in using the software and applyng the information provided by the software in astrological analysis. Also in 2016 we began sending monthly email newsletters to all customer and others who wish to receive them. Previously we had been sending newsletters only two to three times per year. These monthly emails keep you updated with ongoing developments and progress with software, education, and training.
The Future
We are continuing to make excellent progress in developing superb astrology software. Most of the features we have added are inspired by suggestions from our customers. Continue to let us know what you would like our next step to be. Astrology is an almost endless field, and there is always more that can be done. |

Wim van Dam, M.A. was born at Haarlem, Netherlands, 26 July 1950, 13.13 GMT (ascendant 9 Scorpio, Wim is not ashamed of revealing his horoscope to his fellow-astrologers since he has got Uranus very well placed and a ninth house filled by a proud stellium in Leo).
At the age of seventeen, after finishing high school where he excelled in latin, greek and hebrew, he decided to study Slavonian languages for the simple reason, he did not know anything about them. He would have finished this study in the five to six years it took officially, if not some funny thing had happened on the way to his M.A.. November 1968, in a Leyden bookshop, he most unexpectedly happened upon a Handbook for Astrology (in Dutch). Freshman Wim was perplexed to suddenly hold such an example of medieval superstition in his hands and, unbelievable though it seemed, the authoress, some Else Parker, wrote most seriously about the subject, as far as he could see!
Wim bought the book at the spot for the very reason he did not know anything about astrology. He was most curious to see how this Else Parker would explain her belief in these apparent nonsense. "I wasn't even interested in whether astrology was true or not, I just wanted to know what these mysterious drawings actually meant, how they were related to both the planets' positions and people's lifes. So I bought some cheap tables and cast my horoscope and that of several people I knew without drawing conclusions about the value of astrology.

Michael’s Spremulli’s approach to astrology is unique as it is practical. He blends his professional training as a therapist and his skills as a workplace personality expert with cutting-edge astrology interpretation techniques that are evidenced-based and have been scientifically validated.
The combination of these finely honed skills helps you understand your past, clarify your present, and maximize your future in a way you have never experienced before.
Michael’s astrological consultations are highly pragmatic, and he has a talent for translating complex astrology concepts into simple, easy-to-understand language. He uses humorous analogies during consultations to help you remember what everything means, and his approach to interpreting an astrological chart is similar to the approach he uses when interpreting personality assessments for his corporate clients. No nonsense, yet entertaining and enlightening.
Michael resides in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina with his wife, two cats, and the occasional visiting black bear.

Agnes Nightingale is the author of the CosmoBiology Report. She is also the editor of some of our report options.
Agnes began her study of astrology in the mid 1960's and became a Cosmobiologist in 1972. She was born April 13, 1928 at 9:09 PM in Fitchburg, MA, but was destined to spend a number of years in Germany where she received all of her education. After returning to the U.S.A. in 1946 she worked as an accountant for many years and later pursued astrology as a hobby.
In the mid 1970's Agnes turned her hobby into a business, practicing astrology and conducting classes at her home. She attended Herkimer County Community College and later taught evening courses there, including astrology, cosmobiology and Conversational German. Agnes lives in Herkimer, NY with her husband Richard. Semi-retired since the late 1980's, she now spends most of her time exploring various astrological techniques with her computer.

Swami Sadashiva Tirtha is the author of the Ayurveda Encyclopedia which will be included in Kepler, and Sirius program. Swami is also the author of Bhagavad Gita for Modern Times (commentary). In the early 1960's, before orange-clad monks (sanyasis) were a part of the American zeitgeist, this young boy's bedroom was decorated with orange curtains and rug; a presageful event even if it went unnoticed. The pre-swami routinely questioned why he was on this planet; what was his destiny. By the early 70's he was reading and experimenting with various forms of meditation and yoga asanas. Nearly 4 decades ago he began formal training, and by the mid 70's, was trained to teach meditation and yoga.
In 1989, Swamiji was a pioneer in the USA, founding one of the first herbal companies in 1988, certified in Ayurveda and Jyotish Vedic astrology in 1989, opening one of the first US Ayurveda centers, and founding one of the first Ayurveda certification schools in 1990. During that decade he continued private training in India with university professors and remote village doctors in the Himalayas. Swamiji holds the first D.Sc. in Ayurveda Research in the USA with his research study published. He is also a certified Vastu Shastra practitioner. He was initiated as a monk (sanyasi) by his guru, Swami Narayan Tirtha, in 1991. Swamiji also published two spiritual books in English on Siddhayoga (kundalini shakti) originally written in Hindi in the early 1900's.
Part of his mission is integrating the universal laws of nature common the various holistic Eastern & Western systems including astrological, astrometeorological, alternative healthcare, ecological health, educational, social, and political systems. These days Swamiji also travels internationally part of each year, holding workshops on these topics and helping people and organizations find their natural health and inner peace & paradise. Swamiji talks have included White House Commission on Complementary & Alternative Medicine Policy, John Hopkins U, & Penn State U., and various radio shows. He is on the board of advisors of the Light on Ayurveda Journal, and has accept the lead role as 'Ayurveda Expert' for altMD.com - whose vision is to bring unity to the CAM community.
Swamiji's unique teaching style fosters intuition, self-paced training, learning through direct experience, learning the essence of a subject (then letting the topic teach you what it wants you), and natural life force awakening (kundalini shakti).

Anne Cantrell's initiation into the wonders of astrology began in 1979 with Zip Dobyns' nine day intensive at Feather Pipe Ranch, learning her integrated "Twelve letter alphabet". Beginning in 1994, Anne studied with many wonderful teachers at ISAR, NCGR, and NORWAC conferences. She was deeply influenced by Greg Bogart, Alan Oken, and Rick Tarnas, among others. Glenn Perry's early "AstroPsychology" course provided the insightful basis for her approach to chart interpretation. And the ISAR Consulting Skills Training with Giselle Terry was "the most valuable thing I ever did, to make sure my sessions were actually client-centered."
Anne writes and sees clients, and enjoys researching Astrological heredity, by studying the charts of whole families. She is also a lifelong student of natural healing, and can attest that using astrology regularly, contributes to health and well being.
Anne's affinity for astrology stems from a multilayered understanding of man's cosmic nature. Her passion is in discovering the confluence of the spiritual and scientific: "Astrology, with its foundations in ancient archetypes, gives us a language to study and document the obvious links between inner and outer fields of experience."
Steeped in an essentially Jungian psychological perspective, Anne focuses on using the chart to uncover meaning and purpose in the challenges of daily life. (If there were a customer rating system for 'helpful insight in time of crisis', her clients would give her a four out of five.)
While doing horoscope reports as gifts for her daughter's graduating class, she realized how crucial it was not to plant seeds of worry or self-doubt in young minds, with 'deterministic' statements about their personality. She was inspired to go through and update the "Cosmo Natal" delineations, substituting positive 'growth-oriented' language wherever possible. The idea was to provide young people with a kind of therapeutic affirmation of who they feel themselves to be, as well as clues to potential career paths. "Kinder Cosmo Natal", a takeoff on both pronunciations of the word 'kinder', is now incuded as a selection in the suite of Sirius Natal Interpretations.

Bernie Ashman graduated from the University of Florida in 1971 in Gainesville, Florida. His life changed greatly when he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1972. He was seeking clarity and a deeper sense of himself. He was 25 years old and had just recently gotten married. He and his wife were anxious to explore a new spirituality. Bernie was very fortunate to discover a metaphysical center in Atlanta owned by Peter Calhoun, author of the book, Soul on Fire. Peter was an inspirational force to getting him interested in a metaphysical path.
Bernie is the author of The Earth Mandala software program. Bernie's reading of Carl Jung's work with the collective unconscious and archetypes inspired Bernie to write this report. Bernie says it deepened his experience of astrology and life in general to have encountered Carl Jung's work. Another influence to The Earth Mandala was the Sabian Symbol work of Marc Edmund Jones and the later writings about the Sabian Symbols by Dane Rudhyar. The Sabian approach was an innovative and intuitive way to observe the degrees of the zodiac, a type of Astrological I-Ching you could say. Perhaps just as key an ingredient to the writing of The Earth Mandala was Bernie's own inner experience of meditation and his own intuitive way of "tuning into" the writing of the material.
Bernie began studying astrology in 1973 after encountering a book, The Astrology of Personality by a Frenchman, Dane Rudhyar. He came upon this book in a bookstore in Atlanta (he says it found him!).
ACS Publications published Bernie's first book, Astrological Games People Play, in 1987. The book shows how astrology and psychology interface and how to make use of our astrological traits for self-growth. This book was inspired by the work of Zipporah Dobyns, a pioneer in modernizing astrology. Bernie met Ms. Dobyns in 1998 in Atlanta, Ga, at the United Astrology Conference. She attended a lecture he gave called Past Life Themes, and he was very pleased to meet her! Zip's daughter, Maritha Pottenger, an astrologer and author herself, edited Bernie's book.
Bernie's next book was RoadMap to your Future: A Quick Guide to Transits and Progressions, published in 1994 by ACS. Bernie's third book about relationships, SignMates: Understanding the Games People Play, was published by Llewellyn in 2000. Bernie also wrote several astrology articles published in numerous magazines and websites. He has lectured at numerous astrology conferences. Bernie's new book "Intuition and Your Sun Sign" will be released June 2014 by Llewellyn publications.
