The Triple Wheel Chart displays three layers — “Natal + a middle technique + an outer technique” — and the Quintuple Wheel Chart displays five layers — “Two people’s Natals + Progressions + a transit” — overlaid on a single wheel. Both screens share the same 5-tab layout (“Settings, Basic, Aspect, House, Sabian”), and the operation method is the same no matter how many wheels are added. This page explains both screens together.
This is different from the Double Wheel Chart: the Triple Wheel and Quintuple Wheel are not simply extensions of the Double Wheel Chart (the screen where you freely combine an inner and outer wheel). The tab layout is different — the “Compatibility (Aspect Matrix),” “MP (Midpoint),” “Forecast,” and “Forecast 2-SA” tabs found in the Double Wheel Chart do not exist here. Instead, there are standalone “Aspect (dial display),” “House,” and “Sabian” tabs. If you open this expecting a continuation of the Double Wheel Chart, it will feel unfamiliar, so please keep this in mind first.

1. Differences between the two screens (wheel composition)
The Triple Wheel and Quintuple Wheel differ only in “what is layered from the inside to the outside” — the basic operation is the same.
| Triple Wheel Chart | Quintuple Wheel Chart | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of wheels | 3 (Inner, Middle, Outer) | 5 (N1・P1・N2・P2・T) |
| Basic concept | Overlays one Progression technique and one Transit technique onto a single person’s Natal chart | Overlays a Transit onto two people’s Natals + Progressions (simultaneous comparison of compatibility and progression) |
| How wheels are chosen | The Middle and Outer wheels can be selected from dropdowns | The role of each of the 5 wheels is fixed (cannot be selected) |
Wheel composition of the Triple Wheel Chart
| Wheel | Content |
|---|---|
| Inner Wheel | Natal (fixed) |
| Middle Wheel | Choice of 5: Progression (Secondary Progression) / Solar Arc / 1°/Year / Hybrid CPS / Converse Progression |
| Outer Wheel | Choice of 3: Transit / Solar Return / Lunar Return |
Wheel composition of the Quintuple Wheel Chart (fixed)
| Wheel (inner → outer) | Content |
|---|---|
| N1 | Person A – Natal |
| P1 | Person A – Progression |
| N2 | Person B – Natal |
| P2 | Person B – Progression |
| T | Transit |
The Quintuple Wheel Chart is a screen for viewing two people’s Natals, Progressions, and a Transit all at once. The “Compatibility (Synastry)” feature of the Double Wheel Chart compares only the two people’s Natal charts, but the Quintuple Wheel Chart allows a chronological comparison that also adds Progression and Transit.
2. Common screen layout
The layout — the chart wheel on the left and a tab-switchable data panel on the right — is shared with the Double Wheel Chart. There are export buttons (Copy, PDF) at the bottom left of the wheel, and a date/time settings panel at the bottom right of the screen.
Tab order (common to Triple Wheel and Quintuple Wheel)
| Tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Settings | Set the wheel composition, date/time, house system, and aspect display conditions all together |
| Basic (shown by default) | A list of positions for each celestial body (with as many columns as there are wheels) |
| Aspect | Displays aspects in a harmonic dial format |
| House | Choose a reference wheel and view a list of which house each celestial body falls into |
| Sabian | Displays a list of the Sabian Symbols corresponding to each celestial body’s position |
3. Settings Tab (1): Wheel composition
Triple Wheel Chart
Select the Middle Wheel and Outer Wheel from their respective dropdowns. The Middle Wheel and Outer Wheel reference a single shared date/time — you cannot set a separate date/time for each wheel. The Inner Wheel (Natal) uses the data saved on the input screen, and you can reflect the latest content with the “Reload” button.
Quintuple Wheel Chart
Since the role of each wheel is fixed, there is no selection operation. Enter the target date/time (shared by P1・P2・T) directly by year, month, day, hour, and minute. Person A’s birth data can be updated with the “Reload” button. The Person B (Compatibility) fields are display-only — Person B cannot be registered or changed from this screen (it must be set up in advance on a separate screen).
About location: the location used by the Middle Wheel/Outer Wheel (Triple Wheel) and P1・P2・T (Quintuple Wheel) is the location saved as “Current Data” on the input screen, separate from the Natal birthplace. You cannot specify a separate location for each wheel.
4. Settings Tab (2): Date/time settings panel
The floating date/time settings panel at the bottom right of the screen lets you quickly adjust the target date/time referenced by the Middle Wheel/Outer Wheel (or P1・P2・T). Up/down buttons are lined up for each of year, month, day, hour, and minute, and each click increases or decreases the value. The “Current Time” button resets it to the current date/time. The panel can be dragged to any position, and closing it with the ✕ turns it into a “📅 Date/Time Settings” button, which reopens the panel when pressed.
5. Settings Tab (3): Adjusting Houses and Aspects
House system
You can choose from 9 systems: Placidus / Koch / Whole Sign / Equal / Porphyry / Regiomontanus / Campanus / Morinus / Solar Sign.
Aspect lines
Use the buttons to choose one combination of wheels for which aspect lines are drawn on the wheel.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Triple Wheel | Inner / Middle / Outer / Inner×Middle / Inner×Outer / Middle×Outer / None |
| Quintuple Wheel | N1・P1・T・N2・P2, and N1×P1・N1×T・P1×T・N2×P2・N2×T・P2×T / None |
The Quintuple Wheel, having more wheels, has more possible combinations, but only one of these combinations can be displayed at a time.
Other adjustable items
| Item | Choices/Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Aspect origin | Center / Each celestial body | Center |
| Orb | 0-10° (in 0.5° increments) | 3.0° |
| Aspect types | Major only / All types | Major only |
The “OOS exclusion,” “approaching only,” and “degrees-minutes/decimal toggle” options that existed in the Double Wheel Chart do not appear as editable items in this screen’s Settings tab (they follow the app-wide settings). Switching the Node/Lilith type is also not in the Settings tab — instead it is toggled individually via the checkbox column in the “Basic Tab” described next.
6. Basic Tab
A list showing the position of each celestial body, with as many columns as there are wheels. The displayed value can be switched between “ecliptic longitude” or “declination.” Celestial bodies that are retrograde are marked with a red “R.” The checkbox column lets you individually toggle which celestial bodies are shown, and this is linked to the wheel display as well.
| Column layout | |
|---|---|
| Triple Wheel | Show / Symbol / Body / Inner / Middle / Outer |
| Quintuple Wheel | Show / Symbol / Body / N1・P1・N2・P2・T |
7. Aspect Tab (dial display)
Instead of a grid-style matrix table like the Double Wheel Chart, this is displayed as a vertical dial that arranges celestial bodies at a height corresponding to “the position of the ecliptic longitude divided by a fixed angle.” The idea is that celestial bodies gathered at the same height are forming an aspect with each other.
| Scale | Corresponding aspect family |
|---|---|
| 30° | All major aspects |
| 45° | Hard aspects (Square, etc.) |
| 60°（初期値） | Soft aspects (Sextile, etc.) |
| 72° | Quintile family |
| 90°／360° | Other cycles |
When you switch to declination display, instead of the scale you can choose the axis orientation: “Normal (±)” or “Inverted (0° at the bottom).”
Quintuple Wheel Chart only: combination of wheels to compare
Since the Quintuple Wheel Chart has 5 wheels, use the buttons to choose which 3 to line up and compare (there is no function to compare all 5 at once).
| Choice | Content |
|---|---|
| N1・P1・T | Person A’s Natal, Progression, and Transit |
| N2・P2・T | Person B’s Natal, Progression, and Transit |
| N1・N2・T | Both people’s Natals and the Transit (a compatibility-oriented view) |
| P1・P2・T | Both people’s Progressions and the Transit |
8. House Tab
Use the buttons to choose which wheel’s houses (ASC) to use as the reference, and view a list of where each wheel’s celestial bodies fall within those houses.
| Reference wheel choices | |
|---|---|
| Triple Wheel | Inner (default) / Middle / Outer |
| Quintuple Wheel | N1・P1・N2・P2・T |
9. Sabian Tab
Displays a list of the Sabian Symbols corresponding to each celestial body’s position, for each wheel. Clicking a symbol’s text expands a detailed interpretation.
Note for the Quintuple Wheel Chart only: while the other tabs have 5 columns (N1・P1・N2・P2・T), the Sabian tab alone displays only 3 columns, N1・P1・T (there are no N2・P2 columns for Person B).
10. Export and other buttons
📋 Copy Wheel Only
Copies the wheel to the clipboard as a PNG image. In environments where copying is not possible, it is automatically downloaded instead.
📄 Wheel + Basic Data PDF
Downloads a landscape A4 PDF. The filename ends with “_triple.pdf” for the Triple Wheel and “_quintuple.pdf” for the Quintuple Wheel.
Other
The Settings tab has “Reload” (updates the Natal data to the latest) and “Calculate” buttons. The “Current Time” button in the date/time settings panel resets it to the current date/time in one click.
11. Useful specifications to know
- You cannot set a separate date/time for each wheel: the Middle Wheel/Outer Wheel (Triple Wheel) and P1・P2・T (Quintuple Wheel) each reference a single shared target date/time rather than independent ones.
- Location comes from “Current Data”: the location used by the Progression and Transit is the one saved as “Current Data” on the input screen. If you want to specify a different location, update the current data on the input screen first.
- Only one type of aspect line is displayed at a time: even in the Quintuple Wheel, which has many wheel combinations, only one combination of aspect lines can be shown on the wheel at once. To see a different combination, switch the selection.
- Color coding is unified by celestial body: there isn’t a dedicated color per wheel — the color of a celestial body’s symbol is the same across all wheels. You can tell which wheel it belongs to by the ring’s position (the closer to the inside, the closer to the Inner Wheel) and by the always-visible label in the upper right.
- “1°/Year,” “Hybrid CPS,” and “Converse Progression” in the Triple Wheel’s Middle Wheel are derivative techniques of Progression (Secondary Progression). Since the detailed calculation methods are highly technical, please refer separately to an astrological technique reference if needed.
