iOS Charts – Add or Edit

Setting up new horoscopes is fastest if you enter data in the order the fields are presented, top down.

• When entering the time, enter it exactly as shown on the birth certificate. Do not adjust it for Daylight or Summer time.
• If you have the Extended Ephemeris, enter “Old Style” dates prior to Oct. 15, 1582. To switch between BC and AD, simply tap the BC/AD text.
• Tap Place and you’ll be presented with the Map View to find the location.
  • The Map View supports search and scrolling to the location.
  • After you’ve positioned the cross-hairs at the correct location use the Time Zone Lookup button (clock icon) in the upper right corner to get the Time Zone for the place under the cross-hairs.
  • Map and Time Zone lookup require Internet access.
• Time Zone – This can be set from the Map View or manually from the Time Zone row. Mostly you will use the Find Time Zone button (after date, time and place are set) to get the correct time zone. Do not use Local Mean Time, unless you know what you are doing and when to use it, it is primarily for research and old dates.
• House System – This will be pre-populated with the default house system, but if you wish to change it for the item currently being edited, you can do that here.
• Place Name – This is not a place search field. Use the Map View for place search. This field displays the place name previously entered of found during search from the Map View. You can use this field to manually edit the place name.
• Categories – Enter single words separated by a space or comma and which help organize your charts. For example: “Actor, male”. You can use these with the search bar at the top of the chart list to filter your charts to display only those items categorized with the word entered in the search bar.
• Notes – Edit and add notes to charts from this field. They can also be edited while displaying the chart.
