## What is Ephemeris Sky?

Ephemeris Sky turns any moment in time into a precise picture of the solar system - and the cycles that drive astrology.

NATAL CHARTS

Save a birth chart with its exact date, time and place, and read it four ways: the chart wheel, every planetary position, every aspect ranked by exactness, and the twelve houses. Compare a saved chart with the sky right now - the natal ring inside, today's transits outside, cross-aspects drawn between them.

Birth time unknown? Positions still compute. Houses and angles are left out with an explanation rather than quietly calculated from an assumed noon.

Your charts are small files in your own iCloud Drive. Visible in the Files app, synced across your devices, yours to copy, export or back up - not locked inside the app.

THE PRACTITIONER LAYER

Synastry, composite, progressions, solar and lunar returns, essential dignities, chart shape and midpoints - all inside the chart you already have open, not behind seven separate screens.

Compare two saved charts: pick a partner and read the cross-aspects ranked by orb, or switch to the midpoint composite. Put today's sky, a progressed chart, a return or another person's chart on the outer ring of the same wheel. Score every classical planet against Lilly's dignity tables. See the chart's pattern, its elemental and modal balance, and every midpoint axis.

Unknown birth time is handled honestly throughout, not just for houses. Moon contacts are tagged with the range the missing time leaves open rather than printed as a false precision, dignity scores show both candidates when the Moon could have changed sign that day, and returns say plainly that they need an exact moment.

HOUSES & ANGLES

Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and IC, plus all twelve house cusps in six systems: Placidus, Koch, Whole Sign, Equal, Campanus and Regiomontanus. Cusps and angles are drawn right on the wheel, and the table lists every cusp by sign and degree. Enter a place by name or coordinates - nothing is looked up online.

POSITIONS

Real geocentric positions for the Sun, Moon, and the planets out to Pluto - tropical, referred to the equinox of date, the same convention professional astrology software uses. See each body's sign, exact degree and minute, and daily motion, with retrograde clearly marked.

ASPECTS

Every aspect between the planets - conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition - computed from the positions and ranked by exactness. Move the orb slider to widen or tighten what counts.

SYNODIC CYCLE (the part most apps skip)

Track each planet's full cycle relative to the Sun: inferior and superior conjunctions, the retrograde and direct stations (the famous "U-turns"), and greatest elongations - each with a real date.

ACCURACY YOU CAN CHECK

Positions are validated against NASA/JPL Horizons across 1900-2100: better than 7 arcminutes for every body, typically under 2. Houses are exact spherical trig, with sidereal time and obliquity pinned to published worked examples. We publish the numbers instead of asking you to trust us.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-08-19

THE PRACTITIONER LAYER.

Seven things the engine could already do, and now you can see: synastry, composite charts, secondary progressions, solar and lunar returns, essential dignities, chart shape and midpoints.

ONE CHART, FOUR WAYS

The chart you open now has four readings - Wheel, Bi-wheel, Analysis and Returns. The bi-wheel's outer ring is yours to choose: today's transits, a progressed chart, a return, or another person entirely. Same wheel, same numbers, no extra screens to learn.

COMPARE TWO CHARTS

Open someone's chart, tap Compare, pick a second. Cross-aspects ranked by orb, or the midpoint composite - two readings of the same pair. Recent pairs stay at the top of the picker.

DIGNITIES, SHAPE AND BALANCE

Every classical planet scored against Lilly's tables, with the seven-condition breakdown. The chart's pattern and its handle. Elemental and modal balance. Midpoint axes, both ends, with opposed pairs flagged rather than dropped.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CANNOT KNOW

An unknown birth time now limits every feature honestly, not just houses. Moon contacts carry the range the missing time leaves open instead of a falsely precise orb; dignities show both candidate scores when the Moon could have crossed a sign that day; returns say they need an exact moment rather than offering a plausible date.

ALSO: your Apple Watch can show the next return for one chart you nominate.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-07

NEW: AN APPLE WATCH APP.

The chart on your wrist. The Digital Crown scrolls through time and the planets move with it. Positions, retrogrades, the Moon's phase and the events ahead are all computed on the watch itself, offline. Complications for the watch face show the current retrogrades and the next event.

Included with the app — no extra purchase.

HOUSES & ANGLES - the big one.

Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and IC, plus all twelve house cusps in six systems: Placidus, Koch, Whole Sign, Equal, Campanus and Regiomontanus. Cusps and the AC/MC axes are drawn on the chart wheel, and a new Houses card lists every cusp by sign and degree.

Set your place by name or by coordinates - entirely offline, with no location permission and nothing sent anywhere.

Also in this release: planetary positions are now validated against NASA/JPL Horizons across 1900-2100 (better than 7 arcminutes for every body), and the chart reads more clearly on every screen.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-05

A deep-space redesign - a starry Nebula backdrop with Liquid Glass panels. Now pick and save your time zone, and step any moment forward or back by hour, day, or week. Refreshed chart wheel and clearer, more legible readouts.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-29

No release notes.
