In practice
The workflow
Prepare the charts your practice needs
Start with birth or event data, then calculate planetary positions, angles, declinations and houses using your chosen zodiac and house settings. Keep the calculation consistent with the method you practise, whether you work with tropical or sidereal charts.
For relationship work, calculate midpoint composite and Davison charts. These methods construct different kinds of relationship charts, giving you distinct results to examine alongside the original data.
Follow a question through different techniques
Use dynamic reports to examine selected events over a date range. View planetary positions through the Graphic Ephemeris, or explore specialised calculations when your practice calls for them.
Choose the tools relevant to the consultation:
- Natal and event charts.
- Composite and Davison relationship charts.
- Progression and direction calculations.
- Dignity, almuten and Lot calculations.
- Specialised dial and coordinate work through Symmetry.
Bring records and presentation into the workflow
Search stored charts and open results for further work. Use client and appointment tools to keep consultation details within the program.
The page and wheel designers let you configure chart presentation. Choose a layout that suits the material you need to examine or explain, then use the appropriate chart or report output.
