Your Natal Graphic Ephemeris

What is a Graphic Ephemeris?

A Graphic Ephemeris is a graphic presentation of planetary aspects, including planetary retrogrades, as well
as New Moons and Full Moonsthese are made for a year's duration. They can show just transiting planets
or they can also show aspects of transiting planets to natal planets (or to other types of planetary placements,
like progressions, returns, composits, etc.). Graphic Ephemerides make it very easy to see your planetary
aspects and planetary cycles at glance. Once understanding how they work, Graphic Ephemerides can
become an invaluable tool for the astrologer or for anyone using therapeutic or healing technologies or
methodologies.

How they are Made and How they Work

If we were to take a series of astrology charts of daily transits, spaced one day a part, we would see the daily
movement of all of the planets through their respective signs in each successive chart. If we do this for year,
we have 365 charts. The planetary placements for each day of the year are plotted on a graph, which results
in a year-long Graphic Ephemeris.

To illustrate this process: The graph below has a horizontal axis showing days and a vertical axis showing
degrees (showing just several degrees of one sign of the zodiac in this example). If we take a specific
planet's location from each sequential chart and place it as a dot under the corresponding day of the graph, a
curved line of the planet's movement over time results.

A planet moves downward through the graph as it progresses in degrees through the sign. When the planet
enters its retrograde period, the line would change directions and move upward in the graph. When it
completes its retrograde, it would change directions again, moving downward through the graph. The
following graph is an example of Jupiter's movement (during its retrograde) over a few month period.

If there are a few planets moving through the same sign, and we plotted them all on the same graph, we
would see their lines cross whenever those planets conjoin. For example, in the illustration below, Mars
moves rather quickly compared to Jupiter's several-month transit through a sign, so we see the Mars line
enter and exist the graph quickly, covering just a about a month long period. In contrast, Pluto's transit
through a sign takes several years due to Pluto's extra slow movement. It's retrograde swings (or loops) are
only a couple of degrees as well, so the path it makes through the graph is a long horizontal curve.

Next, we create a graph of each sign, 30 each. Then we overlay all twelve of them. Now we see not only
the conjunctions occurring in each sign, but also all aspects that are 30 or a multiple of 30 ( semi-sextile,
sextile, square, trine, opposition, and quincunx). Obviously, you need to know which sign each planet is in
to know which type of aspect is occurring. The illustration below is of a full 30 Graphic Ephemeris for the
first six months of 2104.

Other types of Ephemerides can be made using different divisions of the ecliptic other than 30, such as 45
or 90, which reveal different planetary relationships. Heliocentric ephemerides can be made as well.

Notice how easy it is to quickly see significant aspects. In this ephemeris below, the confluence of bold lines
occurring in April blatantly grabs our attention. It includes Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and retrograde Mars. Also
note the quick triggers created my Mercury (vertical green line) and Venus (vertical blue line) immediately
before the primary event. Notice as well that the event occurs between the mid-April Full Moon Eclipse and
the late-April Solar Eclipse.

This happens to be the grand finale of the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-Square that began in August 2013, now
completed by retrograde Mars, forming a Grand Square.

Now seeing when this occurs in the ephemeris, we can also create an astrology chart to see the details, as
well as to look for other points of interest (in this case narrowing in on the Moon-Pluto lunar activation of
this Grand Square).

Your Natal Graphic Ephemeris

Now understanding the basics of how a Graphic Ephemeris is made and how it works, let us now apply this
to a Natal Chart. If we plot the planetary lines of a natal chart into an ephemeris timeline graph, they will
simply be flat horizontal lines because the natal chart is a static chart of some moment in time. As an
example, we will use one of the examples above (showing the transiting planets in just one sign). Let's say
your Sun, Mercury and Jupiter reside in the sign of Taurus, then the graphic ephemeris would look like this
following illustration. Now we can see which transiting planets conjoin your natal planets and when.

When we overlay all twelve signs with both the transiting planets and the natal planets, we can then see all
of the transiting planets aspecting all of the natal planets (all aspects that are 0, 30 or a multiple of 30).

ORDER YOUR EPHEMERIS

Ordering Options

Standard Natal Graphic Ephemeris Charts can be ordered with the primary transiting planets, including the
Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, ERIS, the Lunar Nodes, and Chiron.
Natal planets included are the same, but also include your natal ASC-DSC and MC-IC.

Optionally, Natal Graphic Ephemeris Charts can also be ordered with the addition of the primary asteroids
(both transiting and natal), including Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Pallas.

2012 through 2015 Natal Graphic Ephemerides also reveal when the current Uranus-Pluto Square aspects
your natal Eris (for those born between 1944 and 1988). Ref: The 2012-2015 Uranus-Pluto Square
Transiting Natal Eris.

Ephemeris Charts are delivered in PDF format. All charts show sidereal signs, both for transiting and natal
planets, and for New and Full Moons.

Note: Sidereal transit calculations produce aspect dates based on the actual placement of planets relative to
the stars in the heavens since they account for Earth's precession from the time you were born. Tropical
transit calculations do not because they are based upon the location of natal planets in the tropical signs,
which move relative to the stars at the rate of Earth's precession. This is especially significant for slower
moving planets, like Pluto transiting the ASC, which can be different by several weeks using topical
calculations.
