Key Benefits

  • Learn astrology concepts by example.
  • Delineate client charts within the context of similar notables.
  • Validate astrology theories; debunk invalid myths.

Lois Rodden's AstroDatabank contains over 30,000 birth records, carefully documented and coded for accuracy with the popular Rodden Rating system. AstroDatabank includes intriguing biographies, revealing personality traits, important life events, and significant relationships. Significant sample sizes are available. Novices, professional astrologers, and researchers alike use AstroDatabank for deepening their understanding of astrology.

With AstroDatabank, you can sift through the data base to find persons with similar backgrounds, experiences, and astrological influences.

Alternately, you can gather a group of astrologically similar people, looking for patterns in their ways of dealing with common planetary influences. You can select charts using

  • Signs
  • Houses
  • Aspects & Declination
  • Dignities (Essential and Accidental, rulership, fall, etc.)
  • Guaquelin Sectors
  • Planetary speed (retrograde and stationary)

To truly fine-tune this selection process, create an AstroSignature™. This is like counting planets by element, except much more subtle.

Creating an AstroSignature
For example, one could count planets in Pisces, planets in the 12th house, and aspects to Neptune for a "Pisces Prominent" score.

For the first time in history we have an easy-to-use tool for astrologers to test and refine what they know.

A Breakthrough Learning Tool

Beginners use AstroDatabank to learn the basics of astrology by example. By sorting your friends' planets by sign, you can see how each planet's meaning is affected by its placement in the zodiac. And you'll nail down the concept of houses by sorting your relatives' planets by house, comparing similarly influenced relatives and their ways of dealing with home, relationships, career, etc.

Professionals use AstroDatabank to improve their delineations and conduct research. When you're unsure of your "read" on a particular configuration, you can call up a list of historical figures, family members, and past clients with the same configuration. And think of the richness you can add to your client readings by referring to known historical figures who've grappled with configurations similar to your clients'. Additionally, if you are research oriented, with this powerful research tool at your fingertips, you can help to improve our discipline.

The Preeminent Astrological Data Collection

AstroDatabank is delivered on CD-ROM. You can learn from, browse, and research the entire databank, as well as transfer as many as 5000 records out of AstroDatabank to your favorite charting program's file format. Users who want to transfer more than 5000 records can call us for a FREE password if it is for non-commercial use. We are in business to serve the needs of astrology researchers so please do not hesitate to call or write us if this policy is hampering your research.

Some of the most popular selections from the AstroDatabank are:

  • Top 5% of Profession
  • Historic figures
  • Lois Rodden's books, including Profiles of Women and The Crime Collection.
  • Entertainers
  • Politicians
  • Various Nationalities

AstroDatabank's Full Dossier report
This Full Dossier report is a great example of a typical AstroDatabank report: attractive, informative, and rich in content.

AstroSignature Example

AstroSignatures rank charts based on an astrological profile. Let's design an AstroSignature for Eccentricity, and score Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lawrence Welk based on this profile.

Rules for Eccentricity Rule Weight Mozart score Welk score
Uranus on an angle,
Orb less than 5 degrees
8 8
(Dec)
0
Uranus in hard aspect to Sun or Moon, Orb less than 5 degrees 6 6
(Moon)
0
Uranus in any aspect to an Inner Planet, Orb less than 6 degrees 2 4
(Sun, Ven)
1
(Moon)
Weighted count of Inner Planets in Aquarius 1 3
(Sn,Mr,Vn)
1
(Mercury)

Total Score

21 2

Astrology works! Mozart does have a higher score than Welk. Think of the fun you'll have building AstroSignatures such as Pragmatism, Mysticism, and Cynicism, and finding out who has the highest score among friends and famous people. You'll also become a much better astrologer.
