Working with Life Events
Contents
Solar Fire allows you save an unlimited number of life event records for any natal type chart. These life events are saved with the natal chart (provided that the chart file to which they are being saved is a SFv6/v7 format chart file), and the events remain permanently linked with it.
The advantage of storing life events along with a natal chart is that it makes it very quick and easy to cast subsidiary charts (such as transits, progressions and others) for these events without ever having to re-enter any of the event data, as well as being able to select these events from a pop-up list when working with the natal chart in the animation module, again without having to re-enter any of the event data.
It is possible to import life events from the individual natal charts in a chart file, and also to export life events into natal charts in a chart file. Thus, if you already have a chart file that contains an ordinary natal chart for each life event of someone’s life, you can automatically copy those into life events records.
Note – you cannot save life events to any older format Solar Fire charts (such as SFv1/v2, SFv3/v4 or SFv5). If you try saving a chart that includes life events into one of these chart files, then you will be given a warning message telling you that the life events will not be saved if you save the chart into that chart file. If you do not already have a new format (SFv6/v7) chart file, then you must first create a new chart file (by using the Create button in the "File Manager"), and choose the option to create it with the new chart file format when prompted.
