Mundane Chart Configuration
The settings column of a Mundane chart window is a flat list of seven labeled rows. The first is Location, which is the Mundane chart's own anchor and what places its houses. The six beneath it are the calculation-frame rows every chart type carries.
Overview
Working down the column, you will find:
| Row | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Location | The place the chart is drawn over, chosen from your saved locations. This is what places the houses. |
| Zodiac, Coord. Origin, Ref. Plane, Orientation, House System, Paral. Aspects | The frame the chart is calculated and drawn in. See Chart Calculation Frame. |
The chart's date and time are not in this column. A Mundane chart takes its moment from the time navigation band above the wheel.
Beneath the rows sit the bodies list and the aspect angles grid, documented as Chart Bodies Selection and Chart Aspect Angles.
The wheel recalculates as each choice lands, so there is nothing to apply or confirm.
Procedures
Set the Mundane Chart Location
To anchor a Mundane chart over a different place:
- Select a place from the Location dropdown at the top of the settings column.
The wheel recalculates for the chosen place and its houses move with it. The chart's moment is unchanged.
Reference
The Location dropdown
The dropdown lists your saved locations, each a name with a latitude, a longitude, and a height. The collection is shared across the R7 applications and is loaded when Compass starts, so it is the same list every chart window offers.
The entries themselves are yours to manage. Create, edit, and delete them in the Locations Editor, or bring a whole list in at once with Import Locations. Compass seeds an initial set when it is installed.
