- Transits to Natal planets/points
- Transits to Transit planets/points
- Secondary progressions to Natal planets/points
- Solar Arc directions to Natal planets/points

Caveats:
Example
Useful summary (from ver 2.07
Summary of Progressions and Directions settings
Further Considerations:
Due to retrograde motion occasionally an aspect maybe missed. Again reducing the Entering and Leaving orbs to a minimum (eg 0.06 mins) can help. Reducing the Entering and Leaving orbs to a minimum can help even when Exact Only is selected from the Performance settings. This is often only useful for transits.
If you get many hits with the same date/time, increase the Entering and Leaving orbs. Applies to Sec Progressions, and Solar Arcs.
Additional functionality:

Notes and Caveats
An unfortunate limitation of iOS is that rich text cannot be saved to a text file ie symbols (eg zodiac signs etc) can’t be saved to a text file.
Only exact results are saved as CSV. Other results are ignored. See Performance setting – for exact aspects only.
24 hour time display is always used in the CSV file.
For increased performance
CSV Position column: seconds ” can’t be shown as the export routine uses ” to identify columns.
Commas can’t be shown in dates as commas are used as delimiters.
t = transit
p = secondary progression
d = solar arc direction
r = radix
