To this study I offer a tool to help you assimilate an enormous amount of information.

Welcome to Magnetic Birth Charts web site. Here you can order your own individually made Astrological Birth Chart printed on magnetic paper to allow you to place it on a refrigerator or any metal surface for frequent viewing. Although each element of an Astrological Birth Chart, Horoscope, is easy to understand, with ten Planets and twelve Signs, it is hard to remember all their positions, much more their relationships to one another. To facilitate this learning, a Magnetic Birth Chart is a great tool.

Once you learn your Birth Chart you can view it in relation to any time: past events, dates in the future, or most importantly, in current time. To do this we provide ten individual magnetic discs with the planet glyphs printed on them. Using an Ephemeris, a list of all the planet positions by date; you can arrange the planets around your chart to view which influences might be dominant.

By simply moving the magnetic planets around your chart as time progresses, you can begin to learn and participate in the various cycles of the Planets, and see these transiting Planets in relationship to the Planets in your unique Birth Chart.

We offer two Chart Forms to choose from:

The Standard Chart is good for gifts and comparing with other charts. It displays the native’s name, date, time, and place of birth in the center of the chart making it easily distinctive and personal.
The Aspect Chart is a more advanced chart showing the major aspects in the center of the Chart. The native’s name will not appear on the disc.

The Standard and Aspect Birth Charts are printed on an 8” magnetic paper disc. including ten planets on 5/8” magnetic discs. SPECIAL: $25 (regular price $30)

An Astrological Birth Chart is made-up of two rings within a circle. The outermost ring represents the Zodiac; the inner ring the House system.

The Zodiac is a map of the sky. When we look at the night sky, it’s like we are seeing the inside of a bowl. When we add the unseen zone of the sky, in daylight, we can imagine the image of the inside of a ball. We call this image the Celestial Sphere. This inverted sphere is divided into twelve “barrel stave” shaped sections pointing to the Poles, and occupying 30 degrees each. Astrologers have used the progression of the Signs (see Triplicaties and Quadruplicaties) to name these sections, thus mapping this backdrop so we can measure the movement of the Planets across our sky, as they appear in front of the Constellation of Stars within a Sign.

The inner circle of a Birth Chart is also divided into twelve parts called the House System. The 0 degree point of the Houses is always set at the 9:00 position, with the forward movement in a counter-clockwise direction. The Zodiac ring is also set to the 9:00 position, but according to the degree of the Sign that appears directly on the Horizon at the moment of your birth. This is called the Ascendant. Each day the Earth turns once, therefore every two hours the Sign of the Ascendant will change. The exact time of your birth is critical to aligning the Zodiac ring to the same 0 degree, 9:00 position of the House System.

The Planets appear within the inner House ring, set to positions of the Zodiac they occupied at the time of your birth. We learn to interpret their meanings according to the Sign they are in, as well as the House in which they reside.

Each Birth Chart can be seen as a Play: the Planets are like actors, the Signs they are in are the roles the actors play, and the Houses the Planets are in are the Sets, or Stages, on which the action occurs.

HOW TO USE MAGNETIC DISCS OF THE PLANETS WITH YOUR BIRTH CHART

The Planet magnetic discs are placed around the outside of your Birth Chart Disc according to the degree of the Sign they are in for any time/date you wish. An ephemeris is a list of all the Planet positions by Sign and degree listed by year and day. Using an Ephemeris set the Planets to their Zodiac positions just outside the outer ring on your Birth Chart.

The Planets are divided into three groups: Personal, Social and Transpersonal

THE PERSONAL PLANETS
The Personal Planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. They are called Personal because they relate to aspects of one’s identity. The Sun Sign indicates the Ego Type, or the quality of energy one runs on.

The Sun will move into a new Sign around the 20th of each month. We live in a dualistic realm here on Earth, so if the Sun symbolizes the aware, waking Ego, then the Moon, its opposite, will symbolize the unconscious, past-life aspects of one’s soul. (Notice during an eclipse that the Sun and Moon appear to be the same size in the sky). The Moon will orbit your entire disc each month; being conjunct the Sun during the New Moon, and opposite the Sun at the Full Moon.

Mercury, being closest to the Sun, never wanders far from the Sign of the Sun. It symbolizes the mind, travel, communication …

Venus and Mars symbolize the female and male aspects of our psychological being.
I place these Planets closest to the outer edge of the Birth Chart disc. When conjunctions occur I line-up the Planets from the center out starting with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, then Mars

THE SOCIAL PLANETS
Jupiter and Saturn move much more slowly around your disc. I place them about 1” out from the rim. These Planets are affecting society at large by the Sign they are in, and us personally by the House in our Birth Charts in which they reside. Jupiter will be in a House/Sign for about a year and a half. Saturn will take over two years to transit.

THE INTRAPERSONAL PLANETS
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, move slower still. Place them 2” out from the edge and pretty much leave them alone. We read their larger, generational/cultural, influences by the Sign they are in, the same for all of us, and by which House they occupy in our own Birth Chart.

THE KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE MEANINGS OF THE ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS AND THE HOUSE SYSTEM

The meaning of any Astrological Sign and its associated House comes from melding two different ideas. In Astrology these two ideas are called the Triplicities and the Quadraplicities.

The Triplicities are Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They simply refer to the different stages of any life or occurrence. Each life has a beginning, middle and an end. The energies required of each stage are quite different, as the differences between a child, an adult, and an elder.

The Quadraplicities are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. The four stages of matter cycle with the three stages of life to produce twelve combinations. By melding these two ideas we derive all the meanings associated with an Astrological Sign and its corresponding House.
