from AC for iPhone ver 1.24, iPad/Mac AC ver 3.17

The Speculum offers a way of displaying the current charts’ aspects and a corresponding interpretation text. But it lists all the aspects that have a corresponding interpretation text.

Extended Notes offers a way of listing an aspect and its corresponding Modern Aspect interpretation text (editable), but the choice of aspect + any notes you care to make is yours.

Note that traditional aspect interpretation, eg Lilly, Leo is not available for this procedure. Midpoints can be used with Extended Notes but there are no corresponding aspect interpretations, currently available.

Note that eclipse are calculated at the time of the maximum eclipse, not the exact lunar phase. All eclipse times shown are UTC. The only exception to this is when an Eclipse chart for the exact lunar phase is saved. However, the eclipse glyphs are still shown at the time of the max eclipse.

AC considers three types of charts with respect to eclipse

1. Natal/Radix charts

2. Other single-wheel charts

3. Bi-wheels. Note that bi-wheels always use a natal/radix chart

Note Eclipse Search is only available for Natal/Radix charts and bi-wheels

Eclipse aspect data is not available for composite charts. The individual charts should be examined for this data.
