Study Types

There are 13 different study types available, each generating a list of specific astronomical or astrological events. Every event will include at least one date/time and a corresponding body position. Here's a brief overview of each study type:

  • Planetary Aspects: Generates events when bodies form longitudinal aspects with each other.
  • Natal Aspects: Generates events when transiting bodies form longitudinal aspects to natal body positions.
  • Planetary Parallels: Generates events when bodies form parallel and contra-parallel aspects to one another.
  • Natal Parallels: Generates events when transiting bodies form parallel or contraparallel aspects to natal body positions.
  • Planetary Stations: Generates events when bodies station retrograde and/or direct.
  • Retrograde Cycles: Generates events when bodies station retrograde. Event data includes the exact times, locations and time periods for the retrograde station, direct station and when the body leaves the shadow zone.
  • Hotspot Transits: Generates events when bodies form longitudinal aspects to fixed longitudinal degrees on the zodiac (hotspots).
  • Speed Extrema: Generates events when bodies reach maximum or minimum longitudinal speeds.
  • Planetary Intervals: Generates events when bodies have traveled multiples of an interval that is specified in degrees of longitude.
  • Nodal Transits: Generates events when bodies transit their ascending or descending nodes.
  • Latitude Extrema: Generates events when bodies reach minima or maxima in latitude/declination.
  • Solar Eclipses: Generates events when solar ecliplses occur.
  • Lunar Eclipses: Generates events when lunar eclipses occur.

These study types allow for a wide variety of event tracking and analysis in both astronomical and astrological contexts.
