For Medieval see Medieval aspect interpretations link below.

AC has two types of Aspect interpretation

• Medieval eg Lilly, Leo (Leo is 20th century, but for convenience included in medieval category)

• Modern

Both can be accessed from the Speculum and long-press Aspect Table records

• Medieval eg Lilly, Leo

• Modern – this article

Access to the aspect interpretations

Medieval – via Aspect Table – long-press where + marker is shown. For Secondary Progressions and Solar Arc. Available for Speculum.

Modern –  interpretations are available via the Aspect Table and Speculum for many aspects. For single-wheel and bi-wheel. Most charts inc natal/radix. Uranian not available.

After the aspect table is populated note the + marker. This indicates an AC medieval aspect report is available for that particular aspect. Note that for modern aspect interpretations the + marker is not shown.

Aspects that do not have a corresponding interpretation are ignored.

Many parts of this post were written before AC for iPhone was released. Note that although most AC screenshots are for the iPad they apply to the iPhone and Mac too as they share the same underlying code with some minor teaks.

All images/designs/procedures subject to change without notice.

Here’s an excellent introduction to Primary Directions.

This post shows AC’s primary direction calculations in comparison with :

• Valens (Mac)

• Morinus (Windows)

• Astro.com (internet)

• Astro Gold ver 9 (Windows)

Note Valens and Morinus invariably agree in their results as Valens is a slimmed-down version of Morinus.

Antiscia

Example Chart: Winston Churchill: Tropical, Mundane. Antiscia. iPad/Mac – ver 3.35, iPhone ver 1.38

“A” prefixed to promissor = Antiscia

“CA” prefixed to promissor = Contra-Antiscia

Note that all antiscia aspects are conjunctions even when contra-antiscia aspects are shown. Enabling (by a tick) the opposition aspect from the Aspect table has no effect on the displayed antiscia aspects.

PD with Antiscia aspects – Churchill #1

PD with Antiscia and Contra aspects – Churchill #1

PD with Antiscia aspects – Churchill #2

• For Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars Jupiter Saturn (Trad.), Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. (Trad + Outers)
• 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.
• Aspects to the cusps are shown as, for example as Planet/Point to c5, ie an Aspect to house cusp 5.

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)
