Stepping through time

Scroll Prev Top Next More

In the View pane you can quickly adjust the time of a chart by using the Time Stepping facility. This is comprised of the "Time Step Interval" button which is in between the Step Forward ">|" and Step Back "|<" icons.

 

>> To set the time interval

1.Tap the Time Step Interval button. This is the button between the Forward and Back icons, and it will have the current time step interval displayed on the button face e.g. "1 Day". The "Step Interval" dialog box appears.

2.In the "Step Interval" dialog box listed vertically in the left column are the numbers from 1 to 30. Listed vertically in the right column are common units of time e.g. minutes, hours, days etc. And in the middle are two bars running horizontally across both columns.

3.You can swipe each column up or down so that a different value is aligned within the two horizontal bars. By doing this you can easily adjust the time step interval to a variety of combinations.

4.When you have set the interval tap anywhere away from the "Step Interval" dialog box on the main viewing area to close it.

 

>> To adjust the time interval

Tap either the Step Forward or Step Backward icon.

If two charts are selected then the outer chart time will be adjusted by the time interval, and if only one chart is selected then it's time will be adjusted. If the chart being adjusted is not a transits chart it's title will be changed to "Transits". However if you just want to adjust a natal chart without it being turned into a transits chart, then set the "Time Step Interval" to less than a "Day" - this way you can quickly alter the time experimentally for rectification purposes.
