The Astrology Application

This section allows you to create personalized astrological charts.

Data Entry: Use the main form to enter a name, date, time (optional), and place of birth.
Place of birth: The system uses an online service to find the precise coordinates and time zone for any location in the world.
Custom Locations: You can save your own locations (home, vacation spot...) to easily reuse them via the dropdown list or the "Manage My Locations" page.
Visualization: After generation, an image of your astrological chart is displayed, along with tables detailing the positions of the planets and houses.
Chart Management: Users can save, list, and reopen their astrological charts.

The calendar is based on the real cycles of the Sun through the zodiac. It offers three main views accessible via the calendar's navigation bar.

Yearly View: Provides an overview of the "natural" year with its 12 solar months. Ideal for identifying major cycles.
Monthly View: Displays a full solar month (about 30 days), structured by "lunar weeks" of 6 to 9 days.
Daily View: This is the most detailed view. It displays the planetary positions for a given day, a dynamic "Chart of the Day," and your personal agenda.
Chart of the Day: If you are viewing the current date and you allow geolocation, the chart adapts to your location and time. Otherwise, a default chart for noon UTC is displayed.
Personal Agenda: Click the "+ New Event" button in the daily view to add notes or appointments.
