The purpose of this sub-forum

[Jim Eshelman]

I am building a permanent sample chart catalogue of close to a thousand well-timed birth charts. It will serve as samples here on the site and will be a large appendix in my eventual masterwork on Sidereal astrology.

As a rule, I'm picking one woman and one man of note for each day of the year top distribute Sun around the zodiac and give more gender balance than historic lists have provided. However (provided the birth time is AA, A, or B data) I'm also including all U.S. Presidents, pioneers of Sidereal astrology, and all the Beatles.

As charts go onto the list, I plan to initially leave the posts without comment from me to give others the chance to write on the chart. (I may come back and add analysis later.) After others post their analyses of the natal charts, I'll add some of my impressions, interact with what others have posted, and (where possible) try to turn the comments into tutorials on tactics of natal analysis.

While there is as much art as science in the tactics of digging into a chart, my closest thing on the site (at the moment) to a "how to" is here:

A more technical overview of the astrological structures in play is provided here:

I think this is a great idea, and encourage every forum member to participate.
I'll be hopping in occasionally, when time allows.

I'm done! All 366 days of the calendar year are complete with either one man and woman pair or two pairs, plus many bonus charts thrown in here and there.

The final count is 878 charts. I probably will do the following as time permits:
1. Go through the Bonus charts and find 22 others to add for an even 900.
2. Review the least recognizable names and see if, during the almost two years I've been doing this, better examples have become available.

After that, I'll crank out a book to make these independently available while I'm working on the comprehensive Sidereal astrology masterwork of which this will be an important appendix.

That was a lot of work! Congratulations.

Thank you

I've identified 48 others, from the "bonus charts," that I might add. The net number added will be 22 so that we get a round 900, but I may use some of the others to replace little-known, obscure figures. (It's like the "rewrite" phase. Almost done.)
