Alchemical astrology is based on the Stars using Sidereal Astrology. A chart of this type will provide information about yourself as an individual. It is of the utmost importance in alchemy, and all aspects of life, to "know thy self". By being in touch with your foundational abilities and natural talents you will discover the knowledge, and the subsequent strengths you have available, to successfully pursue your goals. Know thy self, to go through and transmute beyond the challenges that present themselves in your life. Forge a new beginning by connecting to the truths and energy apparent in the Stars.

I include an analysis written in plain English, a list of your important Stars, and the alchemical count with the elements. For those who are familiar with the common Tropical astrology, I will also give you a copy of this type for comparison. Tropical astrology shows how others view us, and the manner in which we interact.

A chart can be drawn up for important special events as well. It will reveal the influences that bear on our activities, and in what way a particular date is optimal, or challenging, in regard to our endeavors.

Examples of the Charts, and the list of the Stars, are below. These are my personal charts and, as you can see, the Stars influence me in this kind of work. I think you will find similar affirmations.

These charts are examples of the difference between a Sidereal and a Tropical astrology chart for one individual.
You can see that only the Moon is in the same Zodiac sign.
For some people the Planets don't change that much,
maybe only 2 or 3 change, and rarely none of them change at all.

Tim - Sidereal Birth / Natal Chart:
The Zodiac aligned to the 12 constellations.

This type of chart shows planet positions as
they influence the individual regarding
personal talents, strengths, and attributes.

Tim - Tropical Birth / Natal Chart:
The Zodiac aligned to Earth's seasons.

This type of chart shows planet positions as
they influence how we interrelate with our
friends, and with society in general.

Sidereal means that the Zodiac is basically aligned to the actual Star constellations. This indicates a persons natural talents, strengths, and attributes, as an individual.

Tropical means the Zodiac is aligned to Earth's seasons, not the actual Stars. This type of chart denotes how we interrelate with our friends, and with society in general. Tropical charts are used by most astrologers in the U.S.A.

Not everyone's Sun sign changes between these two types of chart, but you can see that mine does. Sidereally, as an individual, I'm a Libra. Tropically, socially speaking, I'm a Scorpio.

Some of the Planets can change to a different Zodiac sign when these two types of chart are compared even if the Sun sign doesn't change.

I found that my Sidereal chart reading filled-in the little inconsistencies I had always found in the Tropical readings I've had in the past.

If you would like to learn more about the influences you were born under, and possibly more about yourself, please consider purchasing my alchemy astrology services. It will last you a life time. (See order box below.)

The following is an example of what the Fixed Stars have to tell us about ourselves. This type of information is included in my services.

Note: I chart the Star positions by hand using Bernadette Brady's book, Star and Planet Combinations. As such, I cannot provide as complete of a list as this one, which is generated by Starlight Software 2.1. However, I can still provide you with a very good list of the Stars that influence your life. You can learn the basics of how to do this type of reading from my handbook, where you can also find your Stars if you live between 40 and 50 degrees north latitude. For other parts of the world, and for more in-depth information, I suggest you buy Ms. Brady's book(s), and sign up for her newsletter: sign up here.

Testimonials:

"The Alchemy Astrology birth chart by Timothy Wilkerson was truly great. Not only did the birth chart help me to learn of the importance of Astrology within the art of Alchemy, I learned a great deal about myself also. The depth and detail of the reading was incredible and Tim was more than happy to answer any questions I had about it (and being a newcomer to Astrology, I really needed that!). I hope to go on and discover a lot more about Astrology, I am very grateful I came across the Alchemy Astrology website."
