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?

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.

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.

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.
