What sets Skymap apart
Skymap is a product term for a drawn chart, and its particular is that one drawing serves many places. The house draws its wheel from a single shared routine, so the same picture appears in the Oracle, the Fellowship comparison, native tools and downloadable files. A reader sees the signs, houses and planet positions as a wheel, with the zodiac laid out around the ecliptic and each planet set at its longitude.
- Form: a wheel of the twelve signs and the houses with the planets placed on it
- Planet placement: each planet is drawn at its ecliptic longitude
- Signs: twelve sectors of 30 degrees each
- One drawing: the same wheel is reused across the house tools and downloads
- Purpose: to let the reader see the geometry behind the words
Often mistaken for something else: An ephemeris lists positions as numbers; the Skymap draws the same positions so the angles can be seen.
