Improved Aspect Line Selection
Fifteen degree aspect lines can be hidden or shown. If a fifteen degree aspect is not selected from the Displayed Aspect table this is ignored. If hidden and the aspect is also selected from the Displayed Aspect table, the fifteen degree aspect will be shown in the Aspect table but the aspect line will not be shown in the chart.

Aspect Line Selection – removing 15 degree aspect lines, with long-press over aspect grid to invoke aspect table
Bug Fix: Improved aspect line algorithm
Bug fix when chart lines are incorrectly drawn – some chart lines converge to the bottom left of the screen.

Full Landscape Options. Now with #5, #6 and #7
Additional Functionality: Transit To Transit aspects.
(This version will be released, whilst primary directions is being developed and debugged)
New Functionality: Full landscape View #5 – Aspect Hit results displayed next to any chart. Charts are automatically changed to the type of aspect selected – see animated GIF below.
For natal/radix (single-wheel), progressed (bi-wheel), directed (bi-wheel) and transit (single-wheel and bi-wheel) charts.
Note: Aspect Hits retains its results after leaving the view. The results will, therefore, be reloaded when the Aspect Hits view is opened again.
Aspect Hit Results can also be saved to the user database for later retrieval even if AC is closed down, or updated. Note that only the last Aspect hit results are saved for each chart. If an aspect hits entry already exists it’s overwritten.
A list of every chart’s Aspect Hit results is available. It shows the name of the chart and the date period.
Animated Gif – showing how easy it is to inspect any aspect, over any time period.

New Post
Understanding AstroConnexionsComposite charts
This is the calculation of the shortest arc between two planets or points from each chart. For example, the shortest arc between chart 1’s Sun and chart 2’s Sun is calculated. This becomes the composite relationship position of the Sun. And so on… This chart can be saved and progressed etc as a natal chart. Various options will be available.
Apologies for the delay for those waiting for composite charts. Nearly there!
Note: Comparison and Composite charts can be saved to Your Charts.
What type of composite chart is available?
-
Natal Composite chart: single wheel
-
Transits to a natal composite chart: bi-wheel
-
Secondary progressed composite chart: single wheel
-
Secondary progressed composite chart with composite natal chart: bi-wheel
- All other functions are available to composite and comparison charts eg Fixed Star aspects, Terms, etc
- Returns and Solar Arc directions are not available for Composite charts
Some composite chart calculation details
A composite natal chart calculates the midpoints between two selectable natal charts from Your Charts table or from a saved composite chart
A secondary progressed composite chart is calculated from the two natal charts that comprise a composite chart.
To construct a bi-wheel the following calculations take place:
Calculate the midpoints between two natal charts.
Calculate the midpoints between the two progressed natal charts. Each chart is individually progressed.
Declinations/latitudes
Composite declinations/latitudes are not taken into account.
Day or Hour Lord
Is not possible to calculate the Day or Hour Lord for synastry charts.
Parts/lots
All parts/lots are calculated from the composite Asc, Moon etc. The midpoints for the vertex and East Point are calculated.
Fixed Stars aspects:
Fixed star aspects represent a challenge for composite and comparison charts. Which epoch should be used? Consider that if two natal charts of very different years of birth are used to construct a composite chart how do we decide which year (epoch) to use to calculate the fixed star aspects? The composite chart has no year of birth, nor a day of birth or a place of birth. It is entirely astronomically artificial. So what to do?
The epoch is taken from the first named natal chart date. If the difference in years between the two natal charts is insignificant, possibly less than 50 years, the aspects will be accurate enough. For instance in the composite chart of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert they were both born on 1819. The fixed stars calculation can use the 1819 date as the epoch without any concern as to relevance and accuracy. This also applies to comparison synastry charts.
Example Composite Natal Chart
Composite Chart – Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
Composite Chart – Queen Victoria and Prince Albert full landscape
To include Prince Albert and Queen Victoria charts in Your Charts list please download this csv file and copy to your AstroConnexions DropBox app folder. Then use the Import AC Provided charts option. Import them into Your Charts. You may need a PC to do this. I’m not sure if the iPad can do this? Please note synastry charts are only available when using the Your Charts database.

Synastry options
Synastry options with Composite choice to use the midpoint of Mercury and Venus closest to the Sun’s midpoint
For single-wheel synastry charts there is a choice of using the already defined natal orb, or a fixed orb. For bi-wheel charts: (secondary progressed composite charts) the standard orb for progressed charts is used.

Deleting Charts and the possible effect on Synastry charts
Deleting Natal charts with Synastry warning
Note that any saved synastry charts will also be deleted if they are associated with the deleted Natal Chart. Why? A composite or comparison chart is saved with a reference to the 2 charts, and no other details are saved. Therefore when a composite or comparison chart is drawn the 2 charts referenced must exist in the Your Charts database.
eg A composite or comparison chart might be named Bill and Samatha. This file holds the name of Bill’s chart and Samantha’s chart – these 2 charts details are referenced when Bill and Samatha’s synastry chart is drawn.
Directing or progressing a composite chart
Note when a composite chart is directed or progressed each associated chart is individually progressed and then the midpoints calculated.

Bug Fixes and Improvements
Ver 1.43
Occasionally some charts would display 59 secs instead of the full minute. When displaying time of birth.
eg Time: 1 hour 40 mins should be displayed. Instead this would be displayed as 1 hour 39 min 59 secs.
This would also occasionally happen when saving a chart.
