Welcome to LL, Beau Please go to www.astro.com and register (it’s free). Right under the “Astrodienst Astro.com” in the blue title bar is a section called "Free Horoscopes", click on that. Under "Please select your free horoscope" choose the section headed in gray called "Horoscope Chart Drawings" and pick "Extended Chart Selection". Click on "Add a New Person" and set yourself up. Then under "please select the type of chart you want" drop-down box, choose "natal chart wheel" and click on the "click here to show the chart" button.
Once you've run that you'll have all your planetary positions (and a nice picture!).
At the "Horoscope Home" page, you can now click on "Personal Portrait" under “Short Reports.” Down at the bottom of your report is the text listing of all your planetary and house positions.
There are excellent instructions (with pictures ) at this page, under “Generating Your Chart”:

If you want to post your chart image at a forum/messageboard, first generate the chart at astro.com. Then click anywhere in the body of the chart, which opens a new window and gets rid of all the extra text on the page. Save THIS page/image as a .jpg or .gif on your hard-drive. Upload it to a host (directions in Newbie Party thread: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/015151.html ). Then you can post the image by using the UBB Code image tags: [img] your image file name at webhost [/img].
NEVER PUT UP THE LINK TO YOUR CHART!! This gives access to YOUR astro.com Profile to ANYONE who might want to click on it.
Happy Trails!!
