📄️ Creating a Study
New studies are created and added to the workspaces list of studies by either selecting a study type from the Mundane or Transit Studies on the main menu or by clicking on one of the toolbar buttons that creates a new study. To create a new Transiting Aspects study select Transit Studies and then Transiting Aspects on the main menu.
📄️ Entering Dates
Dates can be entered either by typing them into the field on the left side of the date control or by using the date picker. To open the date picker, simply click on the dropdown indicator located on the right-side of the control.
📄️ Working with Numeric Tables
Numeric tables are used to create and display lists of aspects, hotspots, and arcs needed for different studies. You can manage the values in these tables as follows:
📄️ Study Parameters
Robert Gordon is the central character in W.D. Gann's novel 'The Tunnel Thru The Air or Looking Back From 1940.' We're going to create a list of aspects that transiting planets form with the planets in Robert Gordon's birth chart. To proceed we need to define the ephemeris that we want to use and select Robert Gordon's natal record.
📄️ Generating Events
With all the study parameters now defined, we can proceed to generate the events. Simply click the 'Run' button to start the process.
📄️ Saving a Workspace
You can save a workspace, along with any studies it contains, in three ways:
📄️ Customizing the Events Table
Changing the Column Visibility and Order
📄️ Viewing the Workspace Timeline
The Workspace Timeline aggregates events from all studies belonging to the workspace into a single master timeline. To open the Workspace Timeline, select View and then Workspace Timeline on the main menu.
📄️ Exporting and Documenting Events
Events appearing in the events table for individual studies, as well as the events table for the Workspace Timeline, can be exported to CSV file or copied and pasted in various formats.
📄️ Presets Functionality
The presets functionality enables you to save and recall settings for tables of aspects, hotspots, and arcs as well as ephemerides and filter scripts.
📄️ Study Types
There are 25 study types available, each generating a list of specific astronomical/astrological events. Every event will include at least one date/time and corresponding body position. Here's a brief overview of each study type:
📄️ Event Filter Basics
The Event Filter is a powerful tool that lets you sift through astronomical events in real-time, so you only see the ones that matter to you. Consider it a digital sieve, catching the specific events you want while ignoring the others.
