Aspect Calendar (MacOS)
August 24, 2015MacOS Sky Now
August 24, 2015iPhemeris offers a powerful monthly Transit Calendar that displays transits between things in the sky and any Chart (the Radix) in your Astrological Chart database. Positions are either Tropical or Sidereal as per iPhemeris Preferences.
The first time used it prompts for a Radix Chart, select one from the list of existing Charts. If none exist yet, return here later after you’ve created the one you want to use.
SETTINGS
Aspect and Transit Calendar share the same settings. They are accessed via the Gear button. Changing them for Aspect calendar also updates them for Transit Calendar and vice versa.
