Editing an Extra Dynamic Points File
Contents
This section describes how to edit files that contain definitions of extra chart points to be included or excluded from a dynamic report or time map. Extra points are points which are in addition to the normal set of individual chart points which may be selected as Transiting, Progressing or Radix (Natal), which includes the planets, major asteroids, TransNeptunians and chart angles.
There are three different types of dynamic extra point files...
•Extra Transiting Points - These are the extra points that are calculated as transits to the radix points in a dynamic report.
•Extra Progressing Points - These are the extra points that are calculated as progressions or directions to the radix points in a dynamic report.
•Extra Radix Points - These are the extra points that are used as radix points in a dynamic report.
The type of points that are available for selection as extra transiting or progressing points are...
•Midpoints - Any group of midpoints between any two normal chart points.
•Fixed Stars - Any set of fixed stars which is contained in a fixed star file
•Asteroids - Any set of asteroids which is contained in an asteroids file
•Extra Bodies – Any set of extra bodies which is contained in an extra body elements file
Additionally, extra radix points may include the following...
•Arabic Parts - Any set of Arabic Parts which is contained in an Arabic Parts file
•Fixed Positions - Any number of fixed zodiacal longitudes
•House Cusps – All 12 house cusps of the radix chart
