Draconic charts can be used with transits, sec. prog., and solar arcs. Not available for returns, synastry, Gauquelin, pre-natal syzygy, Draconic to standard natal. For example a progressed Draconic chart is not available as part of a bi-wheel to aspect a standard natal/radix chart. A Draconic natal/radix chart can be part of a bi-wheel configuration but the outer wheel is never Draconic. Declinations are not handled.

Can be used with Aspect Hits.

Eclipse when shown in the original natal/radix chart are not included in the calculations for a Draconic chart, Their positions do not change. Fixed star aspects are calculated for the Draconic planetary/point positions,

Note: North Node must be selected as a displayed Planet/Point. True or Mean.

Heliocentric charts will be ready from ver 2.32. Available soon. For Your Charts and Provided Charts, Single and Bi-Wheel. Helio charts are often used in Financial astrology.

How does this work?

When selecting the heliocentric setting (see below – Settings) all saved charts, with some exceptions can be viewed as heliocentric charts.

There are exceptions: see below – Not available/applicable/appropriate:

Creating Charts

No difference. Just create charts as before. Date, time, location etc are saved as usual and the chart is then calculated, when viewed, according to the Geo/Helio setting.

Ingress charts

Viewing a saved geocentric Ingress chart will not show the planetary ingress heliocentrically at 00:00:00 (hours:mins:secs).

To view a planet ingress heliocentrically you must create the chart when the heliocentric setting is selected. See below.

In full landscape mode, AstroConnexions has two views (#1, #2) with different aspect grids. Each view uses a different aspect grid design. iPhone has one view similar to Landscape #1

Updated 16th July 2017 for ver 1.61

Landscape #1

This has the traditional grid:

Natal Chart and single wheel Aspect Grid design

Traditional Aspect Grid – Natal

This grid shows aspects measured on the ecliptic, and parallels of declination.

Aspects are read horizontally then vertically. For instance, the aspect Moon opposite Mars is separated by 5 degrees and 56 minutes of longitude and is separating – notated by the S (Separating). A = Applying. The aspect is not read Mars Opposite Moon ie looking first downward and then across, but Moon then looking downward to find Mars.

Aspect grid for Bi-Wheels

Traditional Aspect Grid – Bi-Wheel (orb 1 degree)

The aspect grid for a bi-wheel is slightly different. No declinations of parallel are shown.

Aspects such as Sun progressed to natal Sun are possible so the grid has to be able to display this type of aspect.

The outer wheel’s aspect to the radical position is read by looking down then across, Thus Mars progressed in square aspect to the Sun is read by locating Mars vertically on the left of the grid, and then across to find the radical Sun:

Mars progressed square the radical Sun

Landscape #2

Natal Chart and Single-wheel Aspect Grid design

Layout #2 Natal Chart Grid

Note that declinations are not shown, and that fractional aspect separation values are not shown in the aspect grid. Thus the Moon’s opposition aspect to Venus is shown as 1 degree and separating.

To view the actual Aspect Table record (and thus its actual aspect separation) – long press over the grid and review the aspect

Reviewing All Aspects Table by Long Press

Bi-Wheel Chart Aspect Grid design

Layout #2 Bi-Wheel Aspect Grid (orb 1 degree)

This is similar to the traditional bi-wheel aspect grid except that only the fractional part of the aspect is shown if the orb is 1 degree or less. If the orb is over 1 degree the fractional part is discarded and the degree is shown.

The outer wheel’s aspect to the radical position is read by looking down then across, Thus Mars progressed in square aspect to the Sun is read by locating Mars vertically on the left of the grid, and then across to find the radical Sun. Here the reading is  Applying by 12 minutes. The actual separation is 0 degrees 12 minutes, as the orb is 1 degree.

Example:

Aspect Separation 1:56 (1 degree 56 minutes). Orb 1 degree. The aspect separation is shown as 56 minutes with the aspect glyph, and A if applying, S if separating.

The next two views are not applicable to the iPhone

Bi-wheel Aspect Grid Transit Orb 1 degree showing the fractional part

Aspect Separation 1:56 (1 degree 56 minutes).  Orb >1 degree. The aspect separation is shown as 1 degree with the aspect glyph, and A if applying, S if separating. Similarly, if the aspect separation is 00:35 (0 degrees, 35 minutes) the aspect separation is shown in the grid as 0.

Bi-wheel Aspect Grid Transit Orb 3 degrees showing the degree

Note that most types of charts can have different orb settings.
