Selecting Stars, Arabic Parts, Asteroids & Extra Bodies

You can select any set of fixed stars, Arabic Parts, asteroids or extra bodies that are supplied with Solar Fire, or which you have created or edited yourself. If you wish to use a set of stars, parts, asteroids or extra bodies that is not already saved in a Solar Fire file, then you must first create or edit the required file.

From the "Dynamic Reports Selection" dialog, in a "Select Extra Transiting/Progressing/Radix Points" dialog...

>> To select an existing set of Fixed Stars, Arabic Parts, Asteroids or Extra Bodies

1.Click on the > button on the right of the appropriate box.

2.This will display the "File Management" dialog box, from which a file may selected.

After selection, the name of the selected file will be displayed in the appropriate box.

>> To clear a selection of Fixed Stars, Arabic Parts, Asteroids or Extra Bodies

1.Click on the name of the file in the appropriate box. This will highlight the file name.

2.Click on the Del key. This will put the word “none” into the box, and grey it out to show that there is nothing selected.

Note: It is possible to select large numbers of extra points if your fixed star, Arabic Part, asteroid, or extra bodies files contain many entries. However, unless you are running a dynamic report covering a very short time span only, it is recommended that you save and use selections of no more than about 50 extra points at a time, in order to avoid generating a dynamic report which is far too long to be useful.
