Arcus Guide

Guide Getting started

Getting around

Arcus has four main screens, and you switch between them from the buttons at the top of the window.

The mode switcher at the top of the window, with Dashboard, Chart, Graph and Sphere

The Chart screen is the wheel. You'll spend most of your time here, casting and reading charts, adding rings, and comparing one chart against another.

The Dashboard reads the current sky against the chart you're looking at and shows what's active, including which time-lords are running, which transits are close, and what's coming up.

The Graph lays transits and time-lord periods out on a timeline, so you can see the dates something runs across.

The Sphere shows the real sky in 3D for the chart's place and time, with the horizon, the stars, and the planets in their actual positions.

Whatever chart and date you're on carries over when you switch screens, so if you set a date on the Graph and then move to the Chart, you're still looking at the same moment.
