Solar Returns - Saving as a Radix Chart

Solar Returns – Saving as a Radix Chart

Acronym’s used: SR = Solar Return, PC = Precession Corrected. AC = AstroConnexions, SF = Solar Fire Gold

Solar and Lunar returns can now be saved as a radix chart allowing them to be treated as a Natal/Radix chart. This means that a transit bi-wheel can be applied to a saved SR or a Secondary Progressed or Solar Arc can also be applied.

To illustrate this functionality I will be comparing Solar Fire Gold for Windows charts with AC charts. This will demonstrate the accuracy of AC. To do this I’m going to use a chart from 1643, Sir Isaac Newton the famous English scientist. The time and place of birth is taken from the SF chart which is not agreed upon by everyone.

All AC (ver 1.60) screenshots from real (not simulated) iPad Air 2. All SF screenshots from Solar Fire Gold for Windows, ver 9.0.25. OS Windows 7.

The Natal Chart

Here’s a Solar Fire (SF from now on) chart for Isaac Newton:

Here’s AC’s Natal chart

To create this chart I selected LMT, in the New chart view, and used the map function to get Colsterworth’s latitude and longitude. I entered the time as 02:05:00 am and the date as Jan 4th 1643.

As can be seen, the charts are essentially identical.

Isaac Newton SR precession corrected saving – tap the Lightning Bolt icon, top menu. To view the saved chart. Tap the chart details to see Recently Created – see Image #7, above. Note the chart name must be unique. A warning is given if the chart name is in use. Image #10
