Chart Aspect Angles

The Aspects grid appears on every chart settings panel and lists the aspect angles, in degrees, that the chart matches between bodies. The wheel draws a chord for each matched angle. You can add, edit, sort, and remove angles freely.

The grid's column header reads Aspects on Mundane and Natal charts, and Transiting Aspects on a Transit chart.

The Aspects grid

The grid has a single column that lists each aspect angle in degrees. Below the grid are an entry box and a plus button for adding angles. The grid comes pre-filled with a default set of angles, which you can change to suit your work.

To add an angle:

  1. Type an angle, in degrees, into the box below the grid.
  2. Press Enter to add the angle.

The angle appears as a new row, and the wheel draws chords for it. Non-numeric entries are rejected.

tip

You can also click the Add (plus) button next to the entry box instead of pressing Enter.

Edit an aspect angle

To change an existing angle in place:

  1. Click an angle cell in the grid to start editing.
  2. Type the new value.
  3. Press Enter to commit the change.

The edited value is normalized into the 0 to 360 degree range, and the wheel recalculates.

Delete selected angles

To remove one or more angles:

  1. Select one or more angle rows in the grid.
  2. Right-click a selected row and select Delete Selected.

The Aspects grid with angle rows highlighted and the context menu open, showing Delete Selected and Delete All.

tip

You can also press Delete to remove the selected rows.

Delete all angles

Delete All empties the grid, so the wheel draws no aspect chords until you add angles again.

  • Right-click any row in the grid and select Delete All.

Sort the angles

  • Click the Aspects column header (labeled Transiting Aspects on a Transit chart) to sort the angles into ascending order.

Presets

You can save and recall named sets of aspect angles from the grid's right-click menu. See Chart Aspects Presets.
