Each card centers a planet on the exact arc minute it occupies — the curved ruler behind it is the surrounding slice of the zodiac. Aspect vectors point along the true ecliptic bearing of the other planet (0° = ahead along the zodiac).

A solid arrowhead at the planet is an applying force still closing in (with days to exact); an open arrowhead angled away is separating. Teal = harmonious, ember = challenging.

Sign, sect, and dignity forces read on the fixed element compass (Fire ↑, Air →, Water ↓, Earth ←); the violet resultant reads on the ESMS compass (Spirit ↑, Essence →, Matter ↓, Substance ←) — the planet's net alchemical tendency.

Vector lengths are real engine magnitudes normalized within each card; hover or tap any vector for its raw numbers. Momentum is dashed violet along the planet's direction of motion (℞ flips it).
