📄️New Chart

Open a new Mundane, Natal, Transit, Primary Directions, Solar Arc Directions or Secondary Progressions chart window with your default settings.

Reopen a chart saved to a Compass chart file (.compass) exactly as it was saved, from the File menu, the main toolbar or the keyboard.

Save the chart in any chart window to a Compass chart file (.compass) with Save or Save As, and answer the Unsaved Changes prompt when it closes.

The Mundane chart shows the sky at a chosen place and moment, such as an event, a question or the present moment, as a traditional wheel.

The Natal chart shows a person's birth chart, cast from a natal record at the birth moment for the birthplace.

The Transit chart compares the sky at a chosen place and moment with a person's birth chart, matching aspects between transiting and natal points.

The chart window toolbar holds Save, Save As, Chart Settings and Aspect Settings, the four buttons at the top left of every chart window.

Choose how a chart window writes positions and whether its wheel shows latitudes or declinations and the chart information block.

Read the chart wheel, emphasize a body or aspect chord by pointing at it, and give the wheel more or less room in the chart window.

Step a chart forward or back through time by a chosen unit, or jump straight to a date and time, from the band above the wheel.

Shift-drag a transiting body around the wheel to jump a Mundane or Transit chart to the moment that body reaches a chosen point.

Control-drag a transiting body to move the whole chart with it, then land on the moment it forms an aspect or reaches a chosen degree.

Right-click a body glyph or an aspect chord on the chart wheel to copy its position or description into notes or another program.

Read the banner above the chart wheel that reports calculation errors and notices, and show a shortened message in full.
