For AC ver 2.90

This post looks at the historical chart of Marie Antoinette and compares the various natal and transit relocation charts from Astro-Databank and Solar Fire (MS Windows) with AC.

• Note that Astro-Databank doesn’t seem to support a relocated transit other than for the time and date of the natal chart.
• Astro-Databank uses LMT by default for the calculation of the natal chart.
• Solar Fire opts for LAT by default for the calculation of the natal chart and LMT for the relocated chart.
• AC can use either LMT or LAT

Notes and Caveats of a relocated Natal chart.

• Selecting Full Landscape results in the original Natal chart becoming active.
• Date and Time buttons are disabled when previewing a Relocated chart.
• Go forward and go backward in time buttons are disabled when previewing a Relocated chart.
• No other type of chart is allowed. Bi-wheels are also not allowed.
• The aspect table is available.

• Only Natal Charts can be relocated and saved.
• Relocated Charts cannot be relocated again. The original Natal chart can be relocated many times. Requires a different chart Name.
• If a Relocated Natal chart is loaded on launch of AC the Natal – Relocation view/settings option will be set to Natal.
• Similarly if a Relocated Natal chart is selected from the Chart List Table.
• A Relocated Natal chart cannot be saved again as a Relocated Chart.

TL;DR

An unsaved relocated natal chart can only be reviewed and not manipulated in any way until saved. 

A saved relocated natal chart is as functional as the original natal chart.

To view as a Transit/Progressed/Directed Relocated Natal chart Save the chart when previewing it. Tap the Save Natal button. This will save the chart as a relocated Natal chart which can then be manipulated as a normal natal chart in the usual way, eg transits, sec progs, solar arcs, etc.
