Hi Im the creator of www.astrology.run a free to use web app for searching and providing infomation about your transits. I have created this site as I was struggleing with other sites which only show transits day by day and didnt always have all the infomation I wanted to see such as asteroids. What this app does is display all your transits (with asteroids and midpoints) for an entire month on a single page. This makes it a lot easier to see what transits are comming or going. Ive been working hard on this for the last few months and would love to hear some feedback from the community. Also is there any extra infomation you would like to see on the site? You can see transit infomation just by clicking on a transit in the chart or there is an infomation page in the about section. Feel free to ask me anything! IP: Logged |

Brilliant! Very easy to use, could count minor aspects and asteroids (unexplored field for me) transits for an entire month displaying orbs. 👍And Welcome!

Interesting project.It looks like you are restricting the orbs to around a couple degrees. Is that correct? Otherwise, you'd have a much fuller list of transits on each given day. I'll be honest, I don't think this table format works very well for me. When transits are visually displayed around the chart you'll see all transits if you know how to recognize them. If you don't recognize them by sight, the transits aspect grid will show all of them. That way, full orbs are used and no transits are left out of any day in which it is active. But it is quick and easy to use and I like the visual graphics of the page. I can see you dedicated a lot of time to it. Would you be able or interested in including declination transits? ------------------ Astrological gemstone readings for your energetic balance, healing, and soul development. http://kannonmcafee.wordpress.com/services/ We were born for these times.

Hi The orbs are actually fully adjustable. In advanced settings you can set the orb however you wish. The default settings are actually set so that no transit is missed for any day. This is why you see so many moon transits. You can add or remove planets/asteroids and transit types in settings. If you include asteroids and minor aspects you can easily see 50 transits for each day! But advanced settings is quite easy to configure to get just the things you want. For example if you want to remove the moon just set the orb to 0. Also no sorry I am not interested in declination transits. Cheers IP: Logged |

Advanced settings ... I either didn't scroll far enough down to see that on my screen — or you just added it?I'm going through it now. I see you have to re-enter your birth data. It would be better to have the 'Advanced settings' button up top, visible before we enter our birth data. I also think it would be best to match up orbs to particular aspects, as they relate more together than to what plant/luminary. Mercury's orb set at 5° is too wide for transiting sextiles and entirely erroneous for quincunxes or semi-squares, etc. So now I'm seeing what looks like a full set of transits on the page that comes up.

HiI'm not sure how you could have missed seeing the settings button. It is at the top of the page in the chart and right next to the run button you must have pressed from the home page. Could you please let me know what type of phone you are using as content can be displayed on devices differently and I could look into that. The birth data does save when going between pages the problem you have encountered is that you have entered data then navigated to the advanced options page instead of the chart. Thanks for finding this bug! I did not see this and can put a quick fix to it. Mercury default orb is actually set at 3 degrees because it's fast moving and so that a transit never get missed. It will only display for a day or two. There is no need to adjust it any less. I don't really see a need to adjust orbs for each aspect type. Most orbs would be set to 1 degree anyway. And even if you could change the aspect orb there would be minimal effect. It would just mean a few less transits displayed on the chart. But again you can set the orb however you like and the orb is displayed next to each transit on the chart so you always know where it's at.

I see. I'd prefer if the entire home page would load without the need for scrolling. I'll look into getting the home page optimized for different screen sizes.Cheers IP: Logged |

Wow it's brilliant!!! THANK YOU!!!For future development I suggest: - a large range of years for transit date (for now it does only the current month? and no november) - transits to progressions & solar arcs (I guess progressions can be entered manually now but not solar arcs) - transits to a composite & a progressed composite! - making conjunctions & maybe oppositions highlighted (like CONJ in big letters?) - to see them immediately - having an option of asteroids separately - a possibility to add/ remove asteroids in settings, more asteroids and info about which ones are included - an option of seeing only conjunctions for asteroids (in fact, an option of displaying only a chosen type of aspect could be also great) IP: Logged |

Hi Yep I can add in years. I can add in the last 120 and the next 20 quite easily. I'm just not sure how many years I should include. To many years added to the list means the user needs to do a lot of scrolling to get to the desired year. Do you have any suggestions as to how many or what range of years you would like to see?. Having conjunctions highlighted is an idea I've already had. I've highlighted conjunctions for transits to the vertex, fortune, north node, south node. They have a gold and white color border. And a Conjunction to lilith is black and white. The issue I had was some of the lighter color asteroids and planets didn't show so well with a white border so I just need to come up with a better way of highlighting them. Mabye a different font size or color or both. Any suggestions in this area would be highly appreciated. I did try having the option for only asteroids in the beginning but things got a little complicated. For example some of what people consider asteroids are actually dwarf planets. It is something I'm looking into but for now you can unselect all planets in settings so that only asteroids are left then bookmark the chart to save the setting. Also the ability to ad or remove planets and asteroids is in settings. You just need to set the orb to 0. I might change this to display "remove" instead of 0. And yeah the only conjunctions for asteroids option is a good idea. I just need to figure out a way to add this option without creating to many buttons. I'm thinking of making three subcategories in settings. One for planets, one for dwarf planets and one for asteroids then options for aspects for each category. Also what asteroids would you like to see included? There are so many to choose from... Also I do have a fair bit of info about the asteroids etc on site you just need to find it either by clicking on the chart or navigate to the about page and look in there. The website has about 4.5 thousand paragraphs of information and half a million words! I'm always keen on adding more information but need ideas on what to add so any suggestions in this area will be highly appreciated. Thanks for the suggestions! it's given me a few ideas for improvements.

I've taken in all suggestions and some taking a little longer than expected to implement but there is progress.I was just wondering would anyone be interested in receiving daily emails of their transits and descriptions? IP: Logged |
