    Extended Notes – iPhone/iPad/Mac

    from AC 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.
