Snapshots

Snapshots let you save chart calculations so you can revisit them later - like bookmarks for specific chart configurations. When you come across a notable arrangement, you can capture the chart’s entire state and return to it anytime without re-entering the same parameters.

Saving a snapshot

Saving a chart takes just a few steps.

1. Open any chart view (Single Wheel, Triple Wheel, Synastry Chart, etc.)
2. Click the bookmark icon in the toolbar
3. Enter a label that describes the snapshot (e.g., “2026 Spring Equinox transit” or “Compatibility with Tanaka”). Including a date or person’s name in the label makes the entry easier to find later.
4. Click Save to store the snapshot

What gets saved

Each snapshot captures the full state of the chart at the moment you save it.

• Chart type - Single Wheel, Triple Wheel, Synastry Chart, etc.
• Person(s) - whose chart it is (or which combination, for multi-person charts)
• Date and time - the date and time used for chart calculation
• Displayed data - all visible information including planet positions, aspects, and table contents

When you open a snapshot, the chart is restored exactly as it appeared when you saved it.

Viewing saved snapshots

You can find all of your saved snapshots in the sidebar. Open the sidebar and navigate to the snapshots section to see them listed. Click any snapshot in the list to restore the chart to its saved state.

Deleting snapshots

To remove a snapshot you no longer need, swipe the snapshot entry or click the delete button on it. The snapshot will be removed immediately.

Please note that deleted snapshots cannot be recovered.

Chart notes (annotations)

You can attach text notes (annotations) to any snapshot. Enter a note when saving, or open an existing snapshot and tap the Edit Notes button to add or update text. This is handy for jotting down observations, interpretation notes, or client session findings.

Tips for using snapshots

Snapshots fit a few different uses.

• Transit timing - Save a chart for an important transit date so you can look back and compare it with real-life events
• Client sessions - Save charts for different clients so you can pull them up instantly at the next session
• Study reference - when you spot a notable planetary configuration or aspect pattern, save it to study in detail later
