Displayed Transiting Points

A set of displayed transiting points is a named file containing a list of which points are switched on and which are switched off.

Displayed transiting points are the planets, asteroids and other points which can appear on a displayed multi-wheel chart when both of the following are true...

•the chart is deemed to be a “transits” chart by Solar Fire

•when that chart is not the house cusp anchor chart for that wheel (which is usually means when it is not the innermost chart)

The criteria by which Solar Fire deems a chart to be a “transits” chart are either one of the following...

•Any natal type chart that has an event type of “Event”

•Any natal type chart that has an event type of “Unspecified”, and that contains either “transit” or “event” anywhere in its name

Unless either of these conditions is met, Solar Fire assumes that the chart is not a “transits” chart, and therefore uses only the default Displayed Points set.

However, when either of these conditions is met, then the points which are actually displayed are all those points which are switched on in BOTH the default Displayed Points AND in the Displayed Transiting Points. Therefore, you should use this selection to switch OFF only those points that you DO NOT wish to see in a transits chart (e.g. chart angles, and perhaps other fast moving points such as the moon), and you should leave ALL other points switched ON, even if you do not normally display them in a chart. Doing this will allow you to later choose a set of ordinary Displayed Points containing some additional points, and have those additional points automatically also appear in transits charts, without having to also reselect a set of Displayed Transiting Points.

When the program is first installed, there are a variety of named displayed point sets which may be selected. It is possible to alter which points are displayed by selecting an alternative set of displayed points, or by editing an existing one or creating a new one.

>> To alter the displayed transiting point set, from the Main Screen

1.Choose the Displayed Transiting Points option from the Chart Options menu
