Planets

ColumnMeaning
BodyPlanet or point
PositionDegree, minute, second and sign, for example 27°36'08" Virgo
(untitled)R if the planet was retrograde at birth
HouseThe house the planet is in
Speed ProDaily motion in degrees. Negative speed means retrograde. For ASC and MC, how many degrees a day the angle moves

ASC (Ascendant) and MC (Midheaven) always close the table. Pro mode adds fictitious points: Selena, Proserpina, Priapus and other Avestan points.

Houses

Twelve rows: the house number and the degree of its cusp (starting point). The house system is in the heading, “Houses (Placidus)” by default. Change it in Calculation settings.

Aspects

An aspect is an angle between two points that astrology treats as meaningful (0°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 180° and others).

ColumnMeaning
AspectThe two planets and the aspect between them
OrbHow far the angle is from exact, in degrees. The table is sorted by orb, tightest first
A/SA: applying, the aspect is still getting closer. S: separating

Beginner mode lists only major aspects between planets. Pro mode adds the minor ones (semisextile, semisquare, sesquiquadrate, quincunx) and aspects of fictitious points.

In the sample chart the tightest aspect is Sun trine Chiron, orb 0.05°.
