Mundane Aspects Study

The Mundane Aspects Study generates an event whenever a pair of transiting bodies form a user-defined cycle angle. The study tracks aspects in the sky between two transiting bodies, without reference to a natal record.

Create a Mundane Aspects Study

To add a new Mundane Aspects Study to the active workspace:

1. Click Mundane Studies on the menu bar.
2. Click Aspects, then click Mundane Aspects in the submenu.

You can also create a Mundane Aspects Study from the toolbar by clicking the Aspect Studies drop-down button and selecting Mundane Aspects.

Events Captured

A Mundane Aspects event occurs at the moment a pair of transiting bodies form an exact aspect (cycle angle) listed in the Aspects table. Aspects are evaluated between an inner body (the faster-moving body) and an outer body (the slower-moving body) chosen from the study's body lists. Aquila generates an event only when the cycle angle exactly matches one of the user-defined angles; the Aspects table does not have orbs.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Mundane Aspects Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the aspect event.
Inner Body	Name of the faster-moving (inner) body in the aspect.
Inner Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the inner body at the moment of aspect.
Inner Body Sign	Zodiac sign (with degrees) of the inner body.
Inner Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the inner body.
Inner Body Distance	Distance of the inner body from the coordinate origin.
Inner Body Speed	Daily motion of the inner body.
Cycle Angle	Angular separation of the two bodies measured along the cycle.
Phase	Phase of the aspect cycle, derived from the cycle angle: New (0°), Waxing (between 0° and 180°), Full (180°), or Waning (between 180° and 360°).
Separation	Angular distance from the exact aspect at the moment of detection (always near zero because the study fires only at exact cycle-angle matches).
Outer Body	Name of the slower-moving (outer) body in the aspect.
Outer Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the outer body.
Outer Body Sign	Zodiac sign (with degrees) of the outer body.
Outer Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the outer body.
Outer Body Distance	Distance of the outer body from the coordinate origin.
Outer Body Speed	Daily motion of the outer body.
Event Interval	Time interval since the previous event in the series.
