Advanced Astrology Features
The techniques that separate a chart calculator from a workspace a professional can actually stay inside.
Open AstrologerTiming, stacked
Profections name the year's theme and its time lord, activations mark the ages each planet fires, and the transit timeline reads the months ahead with every hit dated. These are designed to be read together rather than as separate tools, because that is how the techniques are actually used — a transit to the lord of the year means something a transit to an unactivated planet does not.
Returns and progressions to convention
Solar, lunar, and planetary returns computed to the exact return moment with relocation support, and secondary progressions following the astro.com convention — tropical year, fractional day, Naibod angles — so a progressed chart here matches the tool most practitioners cross-check against. Getting that convention wrong is a common source of quiet disagreement between programs.
Bodies beyond the traditional set
Over a thousand asteroids and more than a thousand fixed stars, searchable by name, each with an astronomy record. Centaurs, hypotheticals, Arabic parts, midpoints, harmonics, and heliocentric mode. This is research surface: most charts do not need it, and the ones that do have no substitute for it.
Asking the chart a question
Press ⌘K and ask in plain English — "when does transit Jupiter trine natal Sun?" — and it scans the ephemeris, answers with the date, and offers to jump there in the transit view or the ephemeris table. It replaces the part of chart work that is really just lookup.
