I just found a cool way to modernize my Natal Chart! Follow the steps to design your own Style The options are endless!
Here's mine


1) Save Natal chart from Astro.com in your Documents.

2) Go to Pixlr, this is a FREE editing site. Click Open images from Computer. Once the image of your chart is shown on the website, click Adjustment at the top bar. Then scroll down and click Invert.
This is how it will 1st look...

3) Now to make your own personal colors/style go to the top bar again, but this time click Filter. Then scroll down and click Tri tone.
You'll notice that the chart will turn dark red, and unfortunately fuzzy like this...

4) After clicking Tri tone you'll see that there are 3 boxes. Feel free to play around with the colors to see what you like best. Now in order to make the font on your chart clear again, the idea is to either keep the 1st Box - A Dark Color, and the 3rd Box - A Light Color (Vice-Versa). With the 2nd/Middle Box the value of the color will depend on what you've chosen for the other two boxes. Keep in mind they blend, so the colors you've chosen might not always show up as expected...confused? Here are some examples:

(Like I said just play around with the colors until you find a style you like.)

1st Box - Light Green / 2nd Box - Dark Royal Blue / 3rd Box - Black

1st Box - Dark Green / 2nd Box - Light Sky Blue / 3rd Box - White

1st Box - Bright Red / 2nd Box - Black / 3rd Box - Black

Now if you like the way your chart looks from using Pixlr alone, then the next step is optional.

5) Even if you don't get the exact colors you were hoping for, no worries, there are a TON of other options for you to choose from. Save your newly edited Natal chart in your Documents. Now upload it into your Photobucket account if you don't have one already. Once uploaded on photobucket, click Edit and you'll see that it's another version of Pixlr. "Why didn't we edit all of this in the Photobucket-Pixlr version from the start?" Because I didn't see the same options on Photobucket-Pixlr, that are listed in the steps above. However, if you want to try to edit it all from Photobucket feel free. Personally, I don't think it will turn out as good if the Original Pixlr site is not used first.

(These are the same 3 charts from above that I continued to edit on Photobucket.com)

Final Result for Chart: Light Green/Dark Blue/Black
Overlay > Retro Poster > Beam

Final Result for Chart: Dark Green/Light Blue/White
Effect > Default > Doris
Effect> Vintage > Jessica

Final Result for Chart: Bright Red/Black/Black
Effect > Default > Amber

It's not very orange x.x but it reminds me of you because you have that elegant, goth, vampy look and the orange/pink font to me represents your feminine qualities, which we all love about cha so I hope you like it
