Chart Annotations
How to add, search, edit, and delete notes on your charts.
Chart annotations are a notes panel attached to your charts. They let you record observations, interpretations, and session findings right next to the chart they belong to - turning your charts into a working astrology journal.
Adding a Note
Open the notes panel from any chart's tables or panel view, then write your note.
- Open a chart and switch to the tables / panel view
- Open the notes panel
- Choose a scope for the note using the scope picker (see below)
- Type your note and save it
Notes are tied to the birth data the chart is based on, so they stay visible alongside that data's charts and snapshots.
Choosing a Scope
Every note is attached to something specific. The scope picker lets you choose one of three levels:
- Whole chart - a general note about the chart as a whole
- A specific planet - a note tied to a single planet (e.g., notes about your natal Mars)
- A specific aspect - a note tied to one aspect between two points
Scoping a note keeps related observations grouped where they belong, so a note about a Saturn-Moon square stays with that aspect rather than floating loose.
Searching Notes
All notes are searchable. Use the search in the notes panel to find a note by its text - handy when you have built up a large journal across many charts and want to revisit an earlier observation.
Editing and Deleting Notes
You can edit any note at any time - open it, change the text, and save. To remove a note, use the delete action. A confirmation dialog appears before a note is deleted, so you will not lose a note by accident.
Please note that deleted notes cannot be recovered.
Using Notes as a Journal
Annotations work well as an ongoing astrology journal.
- Interpretation notes - record how you read a particular placement or aspect so you can build a consistent personal interpretation over time
- Client sessions - jot down findings during a session and pull them up before the next one
- Study reference - capture observations about interesting configurations so you can return to them later
