• Note: cusp aspects are not calculated for Midpoints, Eclipse, Antiscia and Fixed Stars and other objects.
• Aspects to the ASC (1st house cusp) and MC (10th house cusps) are handled as per usual.
• Aspects to the cusps are 0, 60, 90, 120. The conjunction (0) preferred to the opposition (180). Even if Allow all aspects is selected.

Problem Solved

The image below shows part of a secondary progressed chart. This looks like a Mercury opposition to the 10th cusp but it’s not shown in the Aspect Table. Why?

This looks like a Mercury opp to the 10th cusp but it’s not shown in the Aspect Table

1. Aspects to Cusps does not include aspect to the 4th or 10th cusps. They are handled in the normal way like other aspect calculations.
2. The Cusp Aspect orb does not affect the normal operation of aspect calculation.
3. The default aspect orb for a sec. prog. bi-wheel is one degree as in the example above.

Cusp Aspect Orbs. Note the small star is a developer indicator the the cusp table is loaded. It will probably be removed.

The solution is to increase the secondary progression orb to two degrees. The orb is shown top left. Now the aspect can be seen in the Aspect Table.

Increasing the sec prog orb now shows a Mercury opp MC

Start with (Aspect Table)

Tapping the Aspect Table icon brings-up the Aspect Table. This setting determines which aspects are initially shown.

Note that View #10 has its own settings.

Note that the Horary setting overrides the settings here. If the chart is a Horary chart.

Trad. + Outers = Traditional aspects to Asc, MC, traditional planets plus Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Plus cusps if selected from Cusps Aspect Settings, Parts eg Part of Fortune. North Node. Chiron. Plus all aspects if selected from Cusps Aspect Settings. Aspects to cusp are always traditional.

Traditional planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

Traditional aspects: conjunction (0 degrees), sextile (60 degrees), square (90 degrees) , trine (120 degrees) and opposition (180 degrees)

Outers: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Plus Chiron

Note: Displayed planets and points in the chart are governed by selected planets from Displayed Planets (see screenshot below) settings, similarly with displayed aspects.

Aspects to Cusp Houses: 

2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12. Aspect table format: c2, c3, etc. See screenshot above.

Aspects to 7th, 4th handled as aspects to Asc and MC.
