Thank you, unukalhai! :39:
You're welcome
I was able to get to the Progressions window using the Alt+Shift+P "code" you gave, but there, I didn't see Solar Arc Directions--only Solar Arc Progression.
Sounds like you are using Astrolog 5.41 or earlier rather than Astrolog32? I think the original Astrolog called them progressions and it was corrected in Astrolog32 to be called Solar Arc Directions as it technically should be.
Whatever the case, it's just a technicality -- technically, arcs are directions (directing the entire chart at the Sun's speed) rather than a progression, but often they are considered another "flavor" of progressions.
Ah, Virgoish details
bane of my existance lol.
Astrolog32 can be found at:

should you desire to "upgrade"
(yes, I know there is a newer 2.02 version out from another guy, but he made some changes I don't like... )
I clicked OK, but the chart didn't seem to alter at all
You were probably not yet in Progressed&Natal mode, Alt+Shift+N, so you were simply still looking at the natal chart. Try Alt+Shift+N to get into Progressed&Natal mode, then change the progression type setting, you should see a change in the outer ring planets. If not, something is amiss.
EDIT: I think I was able to get a comparison between the two charts, but although I was able to remove the Uranians, there's still a lot of data to process. Is there any way for the sake of rectification for only allowing aspects from SA planets to the Ascendant?
Yes.
Alt+R brings up the primary chart (natal) object selections
Ctrl+Alt+P brings up the progressed (or directed, in SA mode, hehe) object selections.
So, to show only aspects from SA planets to natal ascendant, you'd select only the ascendant in the Alt+R window (clear out all the other checks)
EDIT: If I recall properly, the 5.x version of astrolog may be the opposite, you may need to check everything except the ascendant.. I think this was flipped around in Astrolog32, but I dont have a copy of 5.x handy to verify, but seem to recall from memory this is the case. bah!
Also, to get back to "normal" natal chart (single ring) mode, just press c... Alt+Shift+N takes you to Progressed&Natal, Alt+N to Transit&Natal. Nice easy switch, great for looking at the coincidences of progs&transits. On that note, Alt+Shift+F brings you to transit object selection, allowing you to restrict which objects are shown in transit mode.
Alt+Shift+A takes you to aspect settings, allowing you to customize which aspects to display.
I wish there were better docs on Astrolog32, I've wanted to write a manual for it for a while but haven't found the time. Too many projects already it seems!
