To change the chart the transits are to, click on Radix Chart. You will then see a list of the different kinds of mundane charts available and any natal charts you have previously marked as favorites - similar to the screen shown in the graphic below.


Widget - edit widget (transits) - radix chart options

 

Tap on the chart you want to see transits to.

1)None (Mundane) means you are not choosing to see transits to a natal chart, rather you are choosing to see the current mundane transits. In other words what you will see is aspects between planets in the current mundane chart.

Which specific mundane transits shown will be determined by the Dynamic Job Type selected - i.e. lunar (the moon), transiting inner planets, or transiting outer planets ... to all the current mundane planets.

2)Otherwise if there are favorite charts in the list and you select one of those, you will see that chart's current transits - either i.e. lunar (the moon) transits, transiting inner planets, or transiting outer planets ... depending on what you chose for the Dynamic Job Type.

Whichever chart you choose will be ticked, then that selection will now be shown as the Radix Chart setting in the Transits Listing edit screen, similar to below.


Widget - edit widget (transits) - dynamic job type - radix chart, showing Outers & Sample

 

Tap anywhere on the screen outside the dialog and the Transits Listing widget will be displayed showing the newly selected Dynamic Job Type (type of transits listing) and Radix chart (receiving the transits), similar to that in the graphic below.
