Horosa, published by Horace-Maxwell and currently available in version 3.10.0, is a desktop workstation that unifies Western astrology and Chinese metaphysics within a single native Windows application. Known also by its Chinese name 星阙, the software is designed for practitioners and students of traditional cosmology who need both astrological traditions accessible from one integrated environment rather than through separate, disconnected tools. On the Western side, Horosa supports natal chart work, the full timing chain of predictive techniques, and relationship work such as chart comparison, covering the core workflows of classical and modern astrological practice. On the Chinese side, it incorporates multiple established divinatory and metaphysical systems, including Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), Ziwei (Purple Star astrology), Qimen (Qi Men Dun Jia), Liuren, and Taiyi, allowing users to move between these methods within the same workstation. A notable technical characteristic of Horosa is that it ships with an offline, self-contained Python and Java runtime bundled directly into the application, meaning the software can operate without requiring users to install or configure external language environments and without depending on an internet connection for its core computations. This makes it suitable for use in environments where connectivity is limited or where a stable, reproducible setup is preferred. Positioned in the astrology, divination, and metaphysics software category, Horosa addresses use cases ranging from personal chart study and research into traditional cosmological systems to professional consultation work that draws on both Western and Chinese methods. With 24 versions released over its development history, culminating in the current 3.10.0 release, the application reflects an ongoing cycle of refinement and expansion. By combining breadth of tradition, an integrated workspace, and a portable bundled runtime, Horosa serves as a comprehensive native Windows solution for serious work in astrology and Chinese metaphysics.
