Filter Controls

The map shows a lot at once. The controls let you narrow it to exactly what you care about: which bodies draw lines, which angles they reach, which life theme colors the field, and how the heatmap renders. Desktop spreads these across the chrome; mobile folds them into a few sheets you pull up.

[!NOTE] Some controls are Pro — the per-channel field mixer, categorical "Color by," 3D terrain, and minor bodies. They show a lock and an upgrade prompt on a free plan. Everything essential to reading your map is free.

Astro or Human Design

The whole map runs in one of two lenses. On desktop, switch with the Astro / HD tabs under the top nav. On mobile, use the Lens switch — Astrocartography / Human Design — in the hub (the ELA avatar, top-left). The lens choice carries over to /conditions and /today, so set it here.

Finding places and themes

LocationSearch is the search pill at the top.

• Desktop — type to search places, or type / to browse Explore by Theme. When a theme is on, the pill grows a theme chip (emoji + name) that opens the theme card, plus an X to clear.
• Mobile — a two-row top bar: the ELA avatar (opens the hub) · the search pill (tap to expand full search) · a Layers button.

Line filters, planets & angles

Planetary lines — turn individual bodies on or off (Sun, Moon, planets, nodes, asteroids, Vertex). All / None / Classical quick-selects switch whole sets at once. Angles — the AC · DC · MC · IC pills decide which angle each body draws to (where it rises, sets, culminates overhead, or sits underfoot). These are the map's line codes — the same four angles that appear in your birth chart as the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, and IC.

• Desktop — bodies and angles live in the granular layer controls; the bottom filter tray adds popovers for Element (Fire/Water/Air/Earth), Dignity (Strong/Weak/Peregrine), Sect (Day/Night), and Aspect (All/Flow/Tension) when aspect lines are showing. A Clear (n) button resets active filters.

  

• Mobile — the Layers sheet leads with planets: angle pills up top, a Search layers… field, glyph chips per body, then disclosure sections for Lines, Filters, Overlays, Basemap, and Display (Line Labels, Edge Labels, Map Labels, Terrain, Geodetic Grid). The Filters row opens a Filters sheet with the same Element / Dignity / Sect / Aspect groups and a Clear all.

  

Themes & the field

A theme (e.g. Love, Career) paints a heatmap "field" over the map, tinting places by how strongly your lines converge there. Free plans unlock Love; the rest show a lock.

• Desktop — pick a theme from search (/), then open the theme card from the pill chip. It floats and drags. Show switches Heat / Lines / Both, and Switch life theme changes it in place. In HD mode the canonical field is the Expression Field.
• Mobile — when a theme is active a theme FAB (sparkle + theme name) appears top-right. Tap it for the theme sheet: Show (Heat/Lines/Both), an Element row (All/Fire/Earth/Air/Water), and the same style controls.

Heatmap style

Inside the theme card or sheet:

• Visualization — Circles, Heat (smooth density), or 3D (Pro).
• Color by — Intensity by default; Pro adds categorical colorings that swap in a legend.
• Appearance (Pro) — Opacity, Field Strength, Score Floor, and Spread (Tight/Balanced/Wide).
• Anti-Field (astro) — flips the field to surface where your lines go quiet instead of loud; filter All / Clean / Tension.
• Spectrum Field / Planet Field (Pro) — mix the scoring channels (Angular, Dignity, Aspect, Paran, Zenith, Midpoint) or weight individual bodies to tune what the field rewards.

[!TIP] Start with Heat + Intensity on a single theme. Add channels, element focus, or Anti-Field only once the plain field tells you where to look.
