Dear SC,
I was wondering if it would be possible to add some astro symbols to SC so that users can mark important aspects on the chart.
I am not asking for anything complicated like planetary lines or a built-in ephemeris but rather just a tool to add:
1. the planets and say the north node
2. aspect symbols (square/trine/opposition/conjunct/sesquiquadrate)
3. house symbols for coordinates (degrees and minutes) to allow easy conversion to price
this could a small button similar to the text tool but with these standard symbols listed.
thanks for considering this.

if you are a Windows user, use font set that includes the symbols you want to use. Then you can just use the Text Tool and select that font. Save a numbered config for size/color/etc

Attached is a TT font called Starfont that I use to mark planet hours in some markets.

Use Character Map to determine keystroke for needed symbol
