iCloud

iPhemeris uses iCloud to backup and share your astrological chart data between iPhemeris on all your iOS and Mac devices. The first time iPhemeris sees an active iCloud account on a device, it prompts for permission to use iCloud, it will only ask once.  If you decline (we don’t recommend this), you can turn it on later iPhemeris Settings/Preferences. ** We strongly recommend you use iCloud to protect your chart/horoscope data. ** USING iCLOUD iOS Devices – Enable iPhemeris to use iCloud from iPhemeris Settings. MacOS Devices – Enable iPhemeris to use iCloud from iPhemeris Settings/Preferences. Make sure iPhemeris is enabled to use iCloud Drive in iOS System Settings or Mac System Preferences. iCloud Drive must be enabled and iPhemeris permissioned to use it in order store and share chart data. iOS – ENABLE iCLOUD DRIVE on iOS On your device goto System Settings. Tap your name at top left where Apple ID, iCloud… is shown. In list on right tap iCloud which is near top. Scroll down and make sure iCloud Drive is on. Scroll further down and make sure iPhemeris is on. Step 3   MacOS – ENABLE iCLOUD DRIVE on MacOS Goto Mac System Preferences. Select Accounts. […]

Time Zone Lookup

iPhemeris uses an international, open source Time Zone database known as TZDATA. You can read more about it here: TZDATA on Wikipedia Time Zone lookup requires Internet access (WIFI or a cellular data connection). It requires that the: Date, Time and Location are already set. Find Time Zone – This button queries the database for the Time Zone in effect for the data and time at the location. Local Mean Time – Calculates a Time Zone based purely on Longitude. This is only recommended for researchers and very old dates. TZDATA is contributed to and corrected by computer scientists all over the world. It was originally created to be an accurate source of Time Zone data for computer clocks which need to know when a specific location switches between regular and Summer or Daylight time DST. Due to the various and politically complex dates when places around the world have adopted and repealed Summer Time, the database can sometimes be off by 1 hour in a specific location. This is happening less and less frequently due to continuous updating and improvement.  Anyone finding errors can report it to TZData by providing 3 sources proving the error, e.g. newspaper articles, etc. TZDATA is now […]

Progression Types & Settings Explained

iPhemeris currently offers the most common Progression styles. Changing the default Progression settings does not change the progression style used on progressed charts previously created and already in your chart database. Progression settings for individual charts are stored with each chart in the database allowing you to experiment with different progression styles. To change the progression settings of an existing chart, edit the chart individually using the chart editor. TERMS EXPLAINED (Sort of) We say “sort of” because there is a lot of loose usage and conflation relative to Progression terminology. iPhemeris uses them in the following manner: Progression – Moves the planets, bodies and angles in time based on the actual planetary motion for the elapsed time between the date/time of the Natal or Radix chart, and the date/time of the Progressed chart. Progressions typically produce positions as they are found in an Ephemeris. Progressions techniques produce charts where the angular relationships are constantly changing over time just as they do in the sky. Direction – Moves all planets and points by the same amount or arc, either degrees longitude or Right Ascension (RA), depending per the selected type. Direction is typically based on the Sun’s arc in Longitude […]

Introduction

iPhemeris uses the Swiss Ephemeris which is based on the Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) DE431 ephemerides and the US Naval Observatory equivalent for Asteroids. It offers sub-second accuracy to with .001 seconds of arc. If you’ve purchased the Extended Ephemeris (via In-App purchase) coverage is 7700 years (4700 BC to 2995 AD) otherwise coverage is 1700 to 2100. The data range applies to all iPhemeris features. iPhemeris uses New StyleGregorian Calendar dates starting October 15, 1582 and Julian dates or Old Style prior. However, be aware that various locales adopted the Gregorian calendar at other times; for example, Great Britain didn’t switch until September 1752. Therefore, adjust your dates accordingly. When using the Extended Ephemeris, enter new style dates after Oct. 15, 1582 and old style dates prior. Currently iPhemeris does not support proleptic Gregorian dates for dates prior to 1582. Note: We use translation services, but Astrology is a special discipline and many astrological terms have dual meanings.
