Overview

Charting

Draft content: product claims and final screenshots await publication review.

Establish the starting chart

Enter the chart data and choose the zodiac and house settings required by your method. Examine planetary positions, angles and house cusps before moving into a comparison or derived chart.

Keeping those choices explicit makes an example easier to repeat and a difference between results easier to explain.

What's inside

Build related charts

Different calculations answer different astrological questions. Explore progressions, directions and planetary returns, or compare relationship-chart approaches such as midpoint composite and Davison charts.

Harmonic and arc-transform calculations provide other ways to examine positions. Relocated charts let you consider the same event in the context of another place. Confirm the particular variant and settings your practice requires.

Compare positions in one view

Use multiwheels to examine chart layers together, or a two-chart synastry grid to inspect contacts between charts. Choose a relevant point and aspect set so the comparison addresses the question being studied.

A natal chart and solar return, for example, can be compared with each layer identified and the chosen aspects visible.

Configure the presentation

Wheel Designer lets you work on the chart's rings, glyphs, placement and style. Page Designer lets you arrange wheels, grids and tables into a reusable layout.

The calculation and its presentation serve different purposes: first establish the chart, then choose how to make its material readable for study or a consultation.

Before choosing a specialist workflow

Coverage of a particular house system, chart type, body or transfer format needs release-specific confirmation. Included data collections, atlas coverage and migration paths are separate questions from the presence of a calculation tool.
