Time Swing Projection

Author: Optuma Team Last updated: Jul 7, 2021 01:09

Overview

The Time Swing Projection tool was designed by the Sacred Science Institute: please contact them to enable the tool on your account.The tool allows you to select a specific date on a chart, and set two planets (Mercury and Mars by default), and measure the difference between the two in degrees.

For example on the 3rd of August 2015 Mercury and Mars were 24.34 degrees apart on a Geocentric Ephemeris.

The indicator then searches forward from the selected date and marks any point where this same degree of separation occurs.

Additional levels can also be added, for example, a level of 30 degrees, would add a marker for any date where a separation of 54.34 degrees occurs (24.34 + 30).

Once the tools have been enabled on your account, the Time Swing Projection tool will be available in the Astro tools folder.

To add the tool to your chart, select the tool from the Astro tool group, and left-click on the bar on the chart you wish to calculate the tool from. Optuma will then draw the tool using the default settings.

Actions & Properties

Actions

Copy Data to Clipboard: Will copy the tool’s values to the clipboard which can then be inserted into a spreadsheet, for example, allowing for further analysis.

Export Overlapping Results to Clipboard: If multiple planetary pairs have been setup in the Time Swing Projection tool, it is possible for overlaps to occur. For example, in a day there could be three progressions: Mars-Sun at 42 degrees offset, Mars-Jupiter at 15 degrees offset and Mars-Uranus at 123 degrees offset. This action allows you to find these overlaps, and export them to the clipboard where they can be pasted as a table into Excel or Notepad.

Add to Toolbar: Adds the selected tool to your custom toolbar.

Apply Settings to All: When multiple Time Swing Projection tools have been applied to a chart, page or workbook, this action can be used to apply the settings of the one selected to other instances of the tool. This is a great time saver if an adjustment is made to the tool - such as line colour - as this allows all the other Time Swing Projection tools in the chart, page or entire workbook to be updated instantly.

Copy Tool: Allows you to copy the selected tool, which can then be pasted onto a different chart window.

Move to Back: If the tool is displaying in front of other tools or indicators clicking this action will move the tool view to the background.

Move to Front: If the tool is displaying behind other tools or indicators on the chart, clicking this action will bring the tool to the forefront.

Set Time Alert: Selecting this action will set a Time Alert at the value the Vertical Line is positioned.

Restore Default Settings: Click this action if you have adjusted the default settings of the tool, and wish to return to the standard properties originally installed with Optuma.

Save Settings as Default: If you have adjusted any of the tool’s properties (colour, for example) you can save the adjustments as your new default setting. Each time you apply a new Time Swing Projection to a chart, the tool will display using the new settings.

Delete: Deletes the tool from the chart.
