Cold
Cochrane started a practice as an astrologer in 1973 in Gainesville, Florida.
For eight years he was a full-time astrological consultant and he taught astrology classes
in the evening. During this time, he also developed astrological software that ran
on an IBM mainframe computer to produce computations in harmonic astrology and
cosmobiology. He also developed a computerized forecast program based on transiting
midpoint structures.
In 1981, Cochrane dropped his consulting business and began full-time work
developing astrological software. In 1983, he found Cosmic Patterns Software and
devoted himself to astrological programming. By 2000, Cosmic Patterns had grown to
a staff of six full-time workers, four computer programmers, and two people who operated
the company. Avalon College started out as a feature within the Kepler program,
and then developed into a school that offers training in astrology.
Cochrane is internationally recognized for his contributions to astrological
software, including many innovative concepts, such as treasure maps and integrated
analysis and interpretations based on an integration of harmonic theory and cosmobiology.
The Kepler program is widely recognized for its extraordinary comprehensiveness
and flexibility.

COLD
The signs are numbered from 1 to 12 according to their order in the zodiac (i.e., Aries
= 1, Taurus = 2, etc.). Cold and hot was one of the sets of categories used in premodern
physics, and the ancients classified all even-numbered signs (all water and earth
signs) as cold. Traditionally, the Moon and Saturn, and sometimes other planets, were
also considered to be cold. The terms hot and cold are infrequently used in modern
astrology.
