Welcome to Aquila

Aquila is a professional astrological research desktop application that generates tables of celestial events with speed and precision. Choose from 39 generator study types covering a wide range of astrological and astronomical phenomena, then weave their findings together with Timeline Studies to reveal the bigger picture. Every line of inquiry lives inside a workspace, so you can dedicate an entire workspace to a client, an organization, a financial instrument, or any other subject of study.

What You Can Do with Aquila​

Aquila brings a complete astrological research workflow into one window.

  • Organize your research in workspaces: Keep every study for a subject together in a single .aquila workspace that you can save and reopen. See Save Workspace.
  • Add studies of many types: Create generator studies from the menu bar or toolbar, each tuned to a specific class of celestial event. See Create Study.
  • Find mundane events between transiting bodies: Generate aspects, aspect patterns, parallels, stations, cycles, ingresses, declination events, and eclipses. See Mundane Aspects.
  • Track transits to natal records: Find when transiting bodies aspect or activate the bodies of a saved natal record. See Transiting Aspects.
  • Configure each study precisely: Choose the bodies, date range, Reference System, orbs, and event types that define exactly what a study searches for. See Ephemeris Settings.
  • Ask hyper-specific questions with filters: Write an optional filter script that keeps only the events matching your criteria. See Event Filter Editor.
  • Work with your results: Read events in a fast table, tailor which columns appear, and copy or export the events to notes and spreadsheets. See Events Table.
  • See the bigger picture with timelines: Aggregate events from several generator studies into a single chronological timeline. See Timeline Study.
  • Maintain reusable reference data: Keep a shared library of locations and natal records to anchor your studies. See Locations Editor.
