Relocating a Chart

It is possible to relocate the currently selected chart to any location on the globe. Relocation of a chart simply involves changing its longitude and latitude. The date, time (and timezone) of the chart are retained without change. Therefore the positions of the planets over the Earth do not change when a chart is relocated. Hence relocating a chart has no effect whatsoever on the positioning of MC/IC/Rising/Setting lines on a map, nor on paran lines or celestial lines. These lines are independent of a chart’s location, and depend solely on the instant in time for which a chart is calculated.

However, local space lines are affected by relocation of the chart, as are the chart wheel and the local horizon chart, because all of these are drawn up for a specific locality.

>> To relocate the currently selected chart

Select the “Relocate to...“ item from the “Chart“ menu and Select a city from the list of cities in the atlas

or

Click on the ”Relocate“ mouse mode button and Click on the map at the desired relocation point.

After the chart is relocated, if you are displaying any local space lines, then the lines will be redrawn automatically to reflect the new chart location. However, if you are not displaying any local space lines, then you will not see any change to the lines shown on the map. In this case, you will not see the result of the relocation unless you view the chart wheel or local horizon chart, or if you switch on some local space lines for viewing on the map.

Once you have clicked on the map to relocate the chart, the new relocated chart will pop up and be displayed automatically.
