Solar Maps contains textual interpretations of all the major planet lines that you are likely to see on a map, and these can be accessed quickly and easily with the mouse.

Before viewing interpretations, make sure that the mouse mode is set to Interpretations.

 

Select the “Interpretations“ mode from the “Mouse Mode“ item under the “Options“ menu or select the “Interpretations“ mouse mode button from the button panel.

Interpretations are potentially available for any enclosed symbol either inside or around the outside of the map. For example, if you have chosen to display Planet/Angle Lines on a world map, then there will probably be symbols for each planet’s MC line across the top of the map, for each Planet’s IC line across the bottom of the map, and for the Asc/Dsc lines at the sides of the map. Additionally there will be symbols where each planet is overhead on the map, and at some point along the Asc and Dsc lines.

 

Click whilst the mouse cursor is on the symbol.

This will display the interpretations window.

 

 

This window contains a title bar and a scrollable text box. The title bar describes the type of symbol that you have clicked on, and the text box contains any subtitles further identifying the line or symbol type, plus the body of interpretation text.

You may resize the interpretations windows or place it anywhere on the screen that you wish.

 

Click anywhere outside the interpretations window or close the interpretations window.

The interpretations window can be reopened or redisplayed at any time just by double-clicking on any symbol again.
