The Swiss Ephemeris is a high-precision astronomical calculation engine derived from NASA JPL's DE431 data, trusted across professional astrology software. AstroWatch uses version 2.10, computing planetary positions accurate to the arcsecond across the supported date range.
28 house systems, including Placidus, Koch, Whole Sign, Regiomontanus, Campanus and Gauquelin sectors, with automatic high-latitude fallback beyond ±66 degrees where some systems break down.
Yes. The Swiss Ephemeris runs locally on your device with bundled datasets, so charts calculate with or without an internet connection. AstroWatch is local-first — your charts live on your device, not on a server.
