SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Open a chart by name, go straight to its transits, houses or returns, compare two people, jump to the next full Moon or Mercury retrograde, or cast the sky for a date and a city — by voice, in Shortcuts or from Spotlight. ASK ABOUT WHAT'S ON SCREEN With Apple Intelligence on iOS 27 and macOS 27, Siri reads the chart you are looking at — planets on the wheel, aspects, houses, dignities, returns and the synastry between two people — from the app's own computed values, not a picture of the screen. ALSO Two columns on wide screens. A restyled comparison picker and birth-data form. The birth form now shows the UTC time correctly.

THE PRACTITIONER LAYER. Seven things the engine could already do, and now you can see: synastry, composite charts, secondary progressions, solar and lunar returns, essential dignities, chart shape and midpoints. ONE CHART, FOUR WAYS The chart you open now has four readings - Wheel, Bi-wheel, Analysis and Returns. The bi-wheel's outer ring is yours to choose: today's transits, a progressed chart, a return, or another person entirely. Same wheel, same numbers, no extra screens to learn. COMPARE TWO CHARTS Open someone's chart, tap Compare, pick a second. Cross-aspects ranked by orb, or the midpoint composite - two readings of the same pair. Recent pairs stay at the top of the picker. DIGNITIES, SHAPE AND BALANCE Every classical planet scored against Lilly's tables, with the seven-condition breakdown. The chart's pattern and its handle. Elemental and modal balance. Midpoint axes, both ends, with opposed pairs flagged rather than dropped. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CANNOT KNOW An unknown birth time now limits every feature honestly, not just houses. Moon contacts carry the range the missing time leaves open instead of a falsely precise orb; dignities show both candidate scores when the Moon could have crossed a sign that day; returns say they need an exact moment rather than offering a plausible date. ALSO: your Apple Watch can show the next return for one chart you nominate.

NEW: AN APPLE WATCH APP. The chart on your wrist. The Digital Crown scrolls through time and the planets move with it. Positions, retrogrades, the Moon's phase and the events ahead are all computed on the watch itself, offline. Complications for the watch face show the current retrogrades and the next event. Included with the app — no extra purchase. HOUSES & ANGLES - the big one. Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and IC, plus all twelve house cusps in six systems: Placidus, Koch, Whole Sign, Equal, Campanus and Regiomontanus. Cusps and the AC/MC axes are drawn on the chart wheel, and a new Houses card lists every cusp by sign and degree. Set your place by name or by coordinates - entirely offline, with no location permission and nothing sent anywhere. Also in this release: planetary positions are now validated against NASA/JPL Horizons across 1900-2100 (better than 7 arcminutes for every body), and the chart reads more clearly on every screen.

A deep-space redesign - a starry Nebula backdrop with Liquid Glass panels. Now pick and save your time zone, and step any moment forward or back by hour, day, or week. Refreshed chart wheel and clearer, more legible readouts.
