Aspect Hotspots

The Aspect Hotspots study finds aspects that occur precisely on the zodiac degrees you consider significant.

Creating an Aspect Hotspots Study

To create an Aspect Hotspots study:

• Click Mundane Studies → Aspects → Aspect Hotspots on the menu bar.

The new study is added to the Studies list and opens with your workspace's default settings, ready to configure. You can also create it from the study-group dropdown button on the main toolbar.

Events Captured

This study records an event each time two transiting bodies form an exact aspect while one of them is conjunct a critical degree, or hotspot. The conjunction to the hotspot is measured against the transit orb, so the aspecting body must fall within that orb of a listed hotspot degree for the event to fire.

Each event pairs an inner (faster) body with an outer (slower) body and reports the hotspot degree that was conjuncted. The hotspot degrees come from the study's Hotspot Degrees table.

Events Table Columns

The events table can display the following columns for this study. Many are hidden by default; to show or hide any column, right-click a column header (see Event Column Visibility). Column headers that name longitude or latitude are relabeled to right ascension and declination when the study's Reference System uses an equatorial reference plane.

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the event.
Inner Body	Name of the inner (faster) transiting body.
Inner Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude of the inner body (relabeled "Inner Body Right Asc" in equatorial mode).
Inner Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the inner body.
Inner Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude of the inner body (relabeled "Inner Body Declination" in equatorial mode).
Inner Body Distance	Distance of the inner body.
Inner Body Speed	Longitudinal speed of the inner body.
Cycle Angle	Cycle (aspect) angle formed between the two bodies.
Phase	Phase of the aspect cycle.
Separation	Angular separation (orb) from the exact aspect.
Outer Body	Name of the outer (slower) transiting body.
Outer Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude of the outer body (relabeled "Outer Body Right Asc" in equatorial mode).
Outer Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the outer body.
Outer Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude of the outer body (relabeled "Outer Body Declination" in equatorial mode).
Outer Body Distance	Distance of the outer body.
Outer Body Speed	Longitudinal speed of the outer body.
Hotspot Longitude	Longitude of the conjuncted hotspot / critical degree (relabeled "Hotspot Right Asc" in equatorial mode).
Hotspot Sign	Zodiac sign of the hotspot.
Event Interval	Time interval since the previous event.
