Case studies · Workflow example

Turn astrology study into chart practice.

Calculate the charts behind your lessons, compare techniques and read chart-linked text as you study. Keep inputs and settings clear so you can follow each example.

In practice

The workflow

Begin with a chart you can examine

Enter birth or event data and calculate the chart's positions, angles, declinations and houses. Choose the zodiac and house settings required by your study, then use the result alongside your course materials or teacher's example.

A useful exercise starts with clear inputs. Record the time, place and calculation settings so you can compare results and understand what changes when a setting changes.

Study techniques through comparison

Use the same starting data to explore different calculations. Compare a natal chart with a harmonic chart, inspect a configured Lot formula, or examine how composite and Davison charts are constructed.

Different questions call for different tools:

  • Natal charts for learning positions, houses and angles.
  • Harmonic charts for studying transformed planetary relationships.
  • Dignity and Lot calculations for selected traditional techniques.
  • Composite and Davison charts for relationship-chart exercises.

Keep the method and its settings visible as you work. A calculation provides the material for study; interpretation develops through reading, practice and discussion.

Read alongside the chart

The interpretation viewer includes chart and general modes, with interpretation-file selection and editing tools. Use the available text alongside the chart and your other learning resources.

As your study becomes more specialised, explore the tools relevant to the subject. You can follow a focused path into traditional techniques, harmonics, electional searching or dial work without making every tool part of every exercise.
