Save and revisit places

How do I save a city?

Sign in to the account where you want to keep the shortlist. You can save an eligible city from Check City, City Comparison, or Find My Best Places results, or add a city directly in My Places. You do not need to generate a report just to build a destination list.

To add a city directly:

1. Open My Places from your account menu and find Add a city.
2. Enter a city name, then choose a search suggestion. Check its region and country; typing a name without selecting a verified result is not enough.
3. Select Save place and wait for the saving state to finish.
4. Find the city in your list. Check its full place label, goal, and status before moving on.

On an eligible result card, use Save beside the city. A successful result changes the action to Saved; its menu offers View My Places. If the city is already saved, use that existing entry rather than assuming another click creates a separate version of its reading. A sign-in prompt is a step toward saving, not confirmation that the city is already in your account.

For this teaching example, we saved Paris, France, confirming the French suggestion rather than another city named Paris. Its row showed Île-de-France · France, Just exploring, Considering, and Not checked yet. We changed its goal to Career, then added Lisbon, Portugal, leaving Lisbon under Just exploring. These are organizational labels: setting Career does not calculate a career score or establish that Paris is a good match.

The completion check is a saved city row that you can find again in the same account. The row is the destination for your next research task; it is not the answer to that task.

How do I use saved places in another reading?

Open My Places, locate the intended cities, and select their rows or selection controls. The next action depends on how many you select:

In the selection area, choose whose birth details to use. Select the appropriate person from Stored Astro Data, or keep Enter birth details next. Continue to the calculator and verify the loaded or newly entered birth information before generating the map. Selecting a city does not make that city the birthplace.

After the map is ready, confirm the destination in Check City or the cities and goal in Compare Cities. If your selected places have the same specific goal label, that goal can be suggested for the comparison; still verify it. A mixed set of labels does not answer which goal you now want to use. Starting a new check or comparison follows that workflow's own access conditions.

Here is how the Paris–Lisbon shortlist carries into the next task:

The next action is to select Career & recognition, confirm both cities, and run Compare Cities if that is your question and you have the required access. Only then read the calculated support and cautions. The example above stops at the prepared comparison panel; it does not establish a winner. Career on a saved row is your reason for keeping the city, not evidence that it will rank first.

Follow Check a city or Compare cities for the calculation and result-reading steps. My Places supplies the destinations for those tasks; it does not reopen an old score or report.

How do I organize or remove saved places?

Use the goal and status controls on each city to describe your own research progress. They do not recalculate the city.

If a city seems to vanish after changing its label, check the active filter. A Planning city will not appear in a Considering-only view. Use Reset to remove active filters and restore the default sort, and use Load more when the list offers it.

Saved tells you when the destination was added. Last checked or Not checked yet helps distinguish a saved candidate from a city used in a later research action. These labels are not links to a stored report or proof that every previous result remains available.

To remove one city, open its More actions menu and choose Remove place. Use Undo immediately if you chose the wrong row and the undo control is still visible. Do not leave the page expecting the temporary undo option to remain available indefinitely. Removing a place removes that shortlist entry; use the separate report or birth-data area for those other objects.

Clear all is different: its confirmation removes every saved place, not only the rows matching the current filter, and cannot be undone. To abandon the action, choose Keep places. You do not need to clear your list to change its sort order or start a different comparison.

Does saving a place keep the whole reading?

No. My Places keeps destinations and the goal/status labels you choose. A destination can be reused with different people and questions, so the saved city is deliberately separate from any one calculation.

Use save and reuse birth details for the person record and saved data and results to locate reports, conversations, or downloaded files.

A practical note for the Paris–Lisbon exercise could be: “Saved both candidates; next compare them for Career with the same birth input; keep the full report separately if I generate one.” This is a suggested personal note, not an automatic field saved by My Places.

What should I check if a place is not saved or cannot be found?

Saving, loading a shortlist, and running a calculation are separate stages. Follow the message for the stage that failed; an upgrade is not a general solution to an unselected city, a filter, or the wrong account.

Open My Places and organize your shortlist.
