TimePassages for Mac: Adjusting Aspect Orbs

In TimePassages for Mac, you can fully customize your aspect orb settings—helping you control how tight or wide each aspect appears in your charts.

Pro Tip: If you’d prefer not to display a particular aspect at all, just set its orb to “-1” and it will be hidden.

How to Adjust Orbs on Mac:

Go to the TimePassages menu > Settings > Aspect Orbs

From there, you can set different orb values for each chart type.
