How do I show the earth in a heliocentric chart in Astro Gold for MAC?

A traditional chart, with the Earth at the center, is called a Geocentric

chart. With Astro Gold you can also calculate a Heliocentric Chart, which puts the Sun in the center.

When you calculate a Heliocentric Chart, if you want to show the Earth as one of the planets, you simply make sure the Sun is selected in Preferences on the

Displayed tab. Astro Gold will not put the Sun in the Heliocentric chart, but instead put the Earth in for you.

If you would like to choose your own color for the Earth symbol: In Preferences, click the Wheels tab, and then click just below the word Planets to edit the planetary colors. (It may say Tradit.) The Earth symbol is located here between the Moon and the Sun. Tap it, an use the color tool to choose the particular hue you want for the Earth in your Heliocentric chart.
