Setting the Peregrine type

A "peregrine" planet has no essential dignity whatsoever. In calculating whether a planet is peregrine firstly it must have no dignities in the usual sense.

Then you have the option of specifying whether a planet being in a mutual reception should be considered as a further determining factor in the peregrine calculation.

Regardless of which option is selected mutual receptions will still be shown in the report by a small "m" next to the other planet involved in the mutual reception.

1)Tap the SettingsICON TAB Settings  tap in the TAB Bar to display the "Settings" screen.

2)Tap on Chart Calculations - this will display the "Chart Calculation" screen, where under "Essential Dignities" the current setting for Mutual Receptions will be displayed.

3)To change the setting for Mutual Receptions tap on the > to the right of the "Mutual Reception" - this will display the options for that.

In the options below ...

"Mutual Receptions - Ignored" means don't consider whether the planet is in mutual reception to any other planet. So even if the planet is in a mutual reception the planet can still be peregrine if it has no other dignities.

"Mutual Receptions - Included" means do consider whether the planet is in mutual reception to any other planet. If the planet is in a mutual reception then it is regarded has having some dignity as a result, and therefore with this calculation option it cannot be peregrine.
 

4)Tap on the Mutual Reception option you want to be used for Peregrine calculation.

5)Tap on the Chart Calculation button in the top left of the screen - this takes you back to the "Chart Calculation" screen.
