The beloved desktop app is finally on iOS! AstroClock is a "live" Astrological chart wheel which is updated every minute. You'll see the Ascendant and other cusps change minute-by-minute, and the current position of the planets gradually moving. AstroClock calculates your natal chart positions and lists live transits to your own chart as they are happening. The natal chart planets can be displayed around the clock in a second ring so that you can easily see aspects, or you can put the natal chart in the centre the usual way and see the transits gradually move around your chart. The look of the chart is customisable, and it even changes colour when the Moon goes void-of-course. The perfect tool for horary astrology and an amazing way to learn how astrology works in the moment • Accurate wheel • 6 House systems • Accurate lists of positions • Slider to zoom backwards and forwards in time • Geocentric or Heliocentric positions • Tropical and Sidereal Zodiac • Aspect Lines • Instant Void of Course Moon indicator • Calculates and displays live transits to your natal chart • Customisable look, aspects, orbs and more • Configures itself to your location • Automatic time-zone and daylight time adjustment • Transiting aspects • Scanning ahead of transit aspects
