Build the chart. Shape the view.
Calculate natal, event, relationship and derived charts. Compare them in multiwheels and synastry grids, then design wheels and pages around your work.

Establish the starting chart
Enter the chart data and choose the zodiac and house settings required by your method. Examine planetary positions, angles and house cusps before moving into a comparison or derived chart.
Save the settings you use so you can return to the same calculation and compare results consistently.
A single chart wheel with planetary positions and aspect lines.
Build related charts
Different calculations answer different astrological questions. Explore progressions, directions and planetary returns, or compare relationship-chart approaches such as midpoint composite and Davison charts.
Harmonic and arc-transform calculations reveal different arrangements of chart positions. Relocated charts show the same event from another place, with locally calculated houses and angles. You can also create a derived houses chart for detailed examination of a particular life area.
Chart and calculation options for transits, progressions and directions.
Compare positions in one view
Use multiwheels to examine chart layers together, or a two-chart synastry grid to inspect contacts between charts. Choose a relevant point and aspect set so the comparison addresses the question being studied.
A natal chart and solar return, for example, can be compared with each layer identified and the chosen aspects visible.

Configure the presentation
Wheel Designer lets you work on the chart's rings, glyphs, placement and style. Page Designer lets you arrange wheels, grids and tables into a reusable layout.
Save a layout for the way you work, whether you need a detailed study page or a focused chart for a consultation.
