Galactic Astrology : How To Erect a Galactic Chart
Technique Example Points Of Interest
Technique
| STEP 1 | Use a planetary ephemeris to locate the positions of the 10 planets and Ascendant as for a zodiacal chart. |
| STEP 2 | The Earth is located 180 degress from the position of the natal Sun and replaces the Sun in a Galactic chart. |
| Note: An Earth position has to be established because a Galactic chart is Sun or essence based rather than Earth based like the Zodiacal chart, i.e. we are viewing the universe from the Sun. | |
| STEP 3 | Apply the Rule of Hermes: If the Moon is waxing, i.e. the Moon is moving away from the Sun (towards opposition) then : |
| Zodiacal Moon = Galactic Ascendant Zodiacal Ascendant = Galactic Moon | |
| If the Moon is waning, i.e. the Moon is moving towards the Sun (towards conjunction) then: | |
| Zodiacal Moon = Galactic Descendant Zodiacal Descendant = Galactic Moon | |
| STEP 4 | Galactic Conversion Tables are now required to convert the zodiacal positions into galactic positions. |

(Law) are intercepted. Further, the Earth will be situated in the 3rd. House.

Points of Interest
The starting point of the Galactic Signs (0o ) is at 26o
The Earth () must always lie in one of the first 6 houses in the Galactic chart. This is beneath the Galactic horizon and indicates how the 'self image' is bound in some way by inner consequences. This is a consequence of the Rule of Hermes.
The wheel of the Galactic Houses indicates how 'debts' can be paid constructively, even creatively, by paying attention to the unfolding process represented by the order of the Galactic (or Karmic) houses.
