If only one chart is opened, no element from the synastry menu will be available. That's why you first need to open or create at least two charts to be able to select whatever you want on the menu !Opened charts (first articles on the menu)
This dynamic menu may not update instantly. To force the update, click the menu title "Synastry".
The first part of the synastry menu is a listing of the names of other opened charts.
Select one of the menu charts to open a new chart window with the synastry sky chart.
This sky chart displays the first chart (in the center / inner side), and the selected chart superimposed on the outside. You can notice that the window commands deal with the first chart.
You can reverse the presentation by using the command "Edit > reverse comparison" to display the initial chart on the outside and the second chart on the inside. Window commands remain the ones from the initial chart (that will then go on the outside).You can reverse the comparison by using the menu "Syn.inv", available in the chart comparison window. In that case, the second chart becomes the main chart and pops up on the inside, with the appropriate commands, and the other chart is displayed on the outside.
The chart comparison "Synastry" is more suited for the study of birth chart.
Comparison >
Commands on this menu are identical to the menu above, the only difference is that the initial chart is superimposed on the selected chart in the menu.
You can reverse the comparison or the presentation by respectively using the menus "Syn.inv" and "Edit > Reverse comparison".
You can reverse the comparison or the presentation by respectively using the menus "Syn.inv" and "Edit > Reverse comparison".
Charts comparison "Comparison" is more suited for the study of previsional charts on the birth chart.
Mid points >
Just like above, select the second chart to open a new chart window that will display a fictional sky chart of the mid points of both charts.
Each position on this chart deals with a mid point of each planetary element (average of the shortest angular distance). You will notice that this chart is astronomically not real and does not deal with any date nor any location.

The comparison of a birth chart with a mid point chart will allow you to highlight the specific aspects that link both birth charts.
Mid Space-Time >
Just like above, select the second chart to open a new mid-time space chart window.
This chart deals with data calculated according to the average of the dates, latitudes and longitudes of both charts (sums divided by 2).

The comparison of birth charts with the mid-time space will allow you to highlight the connections between eventual planetary synchronicities about transits and directions.
Reverse Syn.
only available in the synastry window.
Reverse synastry : will allow you to reverse the synastry by putting the inside chart (center) to the outside (outer).
You will notice that window commands consequently change and will then deal with the second chart.

- the name of the city or just its first letters.
- eventually the country, to find the city (when you can't find the city you are looking for).
- eventually the French department, to find it's cities (usefull when you can't find a small village you are looking for).
- eventually the degrees of latitude and longitude, to find the closest cities, by mentioning the "hemisphere"N" or "S" and "E" or "W" towards the Greenwich meridian.
- type on Tab [->|] (next field).
- click on "...search" (in the field below - read what's next).
Don't get confused between this search field and something else!

If the city is not in the list, you can :
- try a new search (main city). Up to a distance of 50 kilometers, the inaccuracies on the determination of the degree of the ascendant remain insignificant.
- otherwise you can type the coordinates of the city in the fields on the right (read what's below).
But if you want to consider the country and its time zone, you first need to find another city in the atlas. Search a city that is the closest from the searched location AND in the same country. This is very important when it comes to calculations of time zone corrections of the dates typed in legal time.

Direct (standard/natural) / Converse (before birth)
Astrological forecasts are always based upon direction, with planetary positions after birth.
Consequently, don't change the preselection "Direct (standard/natural)", except if you search for particular planets whose directions are called converse, which means they go backwards before birth.navigation menus : Browsing time and dates

Directions
Create Directions charts with a superimposition of the progressed planets on the birth chart, and also single direction charts.
Each sub-menu deals with a very specific method of calculation.
A new window will invite you to type a new date and to confirm the options of calculations. To submit and display the chart, click on "OK".
For example, to get the secondary directions chart at the age of 30, we'll create this chart 30 days after birth.
This chart uses real astronomic positions but it is not domificated because the ascendant progression has no real meaning with this method of calculation.
You can also enter the age of the subject preceded by "@". The date will then be automatically calculated by activating the next field.
Otherwise click on "[calendar]" to display the calendar and to select the date by clicking on it.
Consequently, don't change the preselection "Direct (standard/natural)", except if you are searching for very specific directions called converse, which means backwards before birth.
Charts of symbolic directions are calculated on a base of 1 arc degree = 1 year (= 365 days).
For example, to get a chart of symbolic directions de directions at the age of 40, we add 40 degrees to all the longitudes in the chart. +40° for thr Sun, +40° for the Moon, etc.
The calculation of the directions of the Solar arc is a calculation variant of the symbolic directions. Longitudes are calculated according to the distance traveled by the Sun.
For example, to get a chart of directions of the Solar arc at the age of 10, we add to all the longitudes of the chart the distance traveled by the Sun between the birth date and the 10th day after birth. If the Sun has traveled 9°39', then we add +9°39'° to all the positions in the chart.
