Step Configuration and Controls
The panel is divided into two main blocks: Latitude and Longitude. Within each, you can independently change degrees, arc minutes, and arc seconds. For each unit of measurement, you can:
- Set the step: In the text field, specify the value by which the coordinate will shift with each click on the “left” or “right” arrows.
- Mouse wheel: By hovering your cursor over any arrow button, you can smoothly adjust coordinates simply by scrolling your mouse wheel.
- Sliders: Next to each field are sliders for faster, more flexible manual coordinate shifting.
The top of the window displays the current, dynamically changing coordinates (e.g., N40°46'00" W073°59'00"). The button with the map pin icon allows you to quickly select another base city from the program’s built-in database.
Panel Control Buttons
At the bottom of the window are three control buttons:
Start automatic animation: The program will automatically shift the chart coordinates using your specified aggregate step, allowing you to visually observe the movement of the house grid or planets across the map.
Synchronize dials: Allows you to simultaneously affect the coordinates of multiple active dials.
Restore original data: Returns the chart coordinates to their initial settings, resetting all your manual adjustments.
Context Menu
Right-clicking on the “Location Dynamics” panel opens a menu with additional options:
- Load to Event Pool: If you’ve found the perfect coordinates for a move or a Solar Return, you can instantly save this event to the Event Pool for future work.
- Delay (ms)…: Allows you to set an artificial pause in milliseconds between automatic animation steps to slow down the process and examine the on-screen changes in more detail.
