Setting the Peregrine type

A "peregrine" planet has no essential dignity whatsoever. In calculating whether a planet is peregrine firstly it must have no dignities in the usual sense. Then you have the option of specifying whether a planet being in a mutual reception should be considered as a further determining factor in the peregrine calculation. Regardless of which option is selected mutual receptions will still be shown in the report by a small "m" next to the other planet involved in the mutual reception.

1.Tap the Settings  tab in the Tab Bar to display the "Settings" pane

2.Tap on Chart Calculations - this will display the "Chart Calculations" pane, where under "Essential Dignities" the current setting for Mutual Receptions will be displayed.

3.To change the setting for Mutual Receptions tap on the > to the right of the last option under "Essential Dignities" (mutual reception) - this will display the options for that.

In the options below ...

•"Mutual Receptions - Ignored" means don't consider whether the planet is in mutual reception to any other planet. So even if the planet is in a mutual reception the planet can still be peregrine if it has no other dignities.

•"Mutual Receptions - Included" means do consider whether the planet is in mutual reception to any other planet. If the planet is in a mutual reception then it is regarded has having some dignity as a result, and therefore with this calculation option it cannot be peregrine.
 

4.Tap on the Mutual Reception option you want to be used for Peregrine calculation
