Dynamic Time-Based Operations

In previous topics generally all information generated by Solar Fire has been for a fixed moment in time (a specific date), regardless of whether it was a natal, progressed or return chart etc. The exceptions are Lunar Phase or Eclipse charts, the result being a series of charts covering several dates.

The topics in this chapter are more concerned with generating information that covers a span of time (such as transits or progressions to a chart), from one date to another later or earlier date usually as a continuous stream of events, and thus the information deals with the dynamic flow of time itself.

This information is conveyed using one of the following formats...

•Graphically - in the "Graphic Ephemeris" and the "Time Map" modules

•Lists - in the "Dynamic Reports" and  "Eclipse Search" module

•Everyday Calendar - in the "Calendar" module

•Moving components in charts and grids - in the "Real Time Clock and Animation" module
