Just directions for those who need it...- Go to www.astro.com (make a free account if you don't already have one)
- Make sure you have some data in my astro. Click "add new astro data" and fill in the info requested about each person you wish to input (you can add 100). Info required: name, gender, birth date, birth time, and birth city/country.
- Click on FREE HOROSCOPES and then EXTENDED CHART SELECTION.
- Choose horoscope for: (whichever chart you want to make from your data) (don't worry about the partner selection because that's for another kind of chart)
-Type of Chart: NATAL CHART WHEEL
-Chart drawing style: (my preference is ASTRODIENST STYLE, but you can do web default for this or some others)
- You can skip down to additional objects.
Here you can choose any or all of the asteroids they list, you should probably at least choose: Pars Fortunae, Vertex and Chiron, as they are most used. (Just noticing that they added a whole bunch of new ones, they used to only go up to Varuna!)
- On the side where you check, many people have their own preferences, but I use: True Node, aspect lines to Chiron, and Some fixed stars.
-in the additional asteroids box, sometimes it's nice to add your name asteroid if you feel like looking it up, but the chart can only hold a limited number of asteroids, so it's up to you. If you're asking for a reading, most people aren't really going to look at most of the asteroids if any, so if you stick to the basics, it will probably be better.
Keep in mind for the overall chart and the number of things you choose to include that the more clutter you have, the harder it will be to read and the less likely someone will read it. Honestly, you are best off putting as few asteroids as possible. But, please keep Pars Fortunae and Vertex as these are not asteroids but important points that most people would read for you.
Enjoy!!
