A Little History…

What happens when a passionate and experienced astrologer collaborates with a brilliant programmer?

Award winning software programs designed for and appreciated by astrologers around the world.

This is how Esoteric Technologies commenced in 1990. A partnership between Stephanie Johnson (the astrologer) and Graham Dawson (the programmer) resulted in the creation and development of today’s best selling program Solar Fire.

Solar Fire was the first astrological software program on the market for Windows. Over the years, the development and evolution of Solar Fire encouraged Esoteric Technologies to develop complimentary products such as Solar Writers, Solar Spark and Jigsaw.

Today, Esoteric Technologies has grown to be truly international and its team of expert astrologers and software developers continue their drive to develop accurate and dynamic solutions that will benefit the wonderful astrological community they have immersed themselves in.

This includes work on cutting-edge astrology calculations and interpretations with their latest product Astro Gold apps developed for Mac, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and Android.

As your journey in astrology evolves, so do our services and solutions. Let Esoteric Technologies be your astrology partner to help and support you as you grow and develop your knowledge and skills.

The success of Esoteric Technologies could not be possible without the amazing people that contribute to the design, development, maintenance, support and administration of the business. We thank all of our collaborators.
