Open Gauquelin Database Downloads

Most downloadable files are in CSV format, which contain only part of the information of the database.
The only file containing the full information is the postgresql dump (see below).
If you need a specific format or different extracts, contact me.
You can also generate the database from scratch on your own machine, see gauquelin5 program.
The downloadable CSV files are provided in two different formats :

Download full database

Download historical datasets

Files coming from the history of statistical tests on astrology can be downloaded from page Historical datasets.

Download CSV lists by occupation (profession)

See the page containing the lists by occupation.

Other downloads

Auxiliary files, like scans of original documents, can be downloaded from github.com/tig12/g5-aux

Format of the downloadable CSV files

The downloadable CSV files do not all have the same format. For example, outputs of the historical files (Gauquelin, Müller, Ertel, skeptics) sometimes contain fields coming from the original source (like Gauquelin sector position, eminence indications).

But some fields are standardized, the list below describe them.
