Inside-Other wheel

Post by Jim Eshelman »

I occasionally (rarely, but sometimes) have a need for a wheel design that displays the planets of one chart inside the angles/cusps of another. I don't mean a bi-wheel with two sets of planets, but a single wheel but has the cusps of one chart and the planets of another.

I designed a Solar Fire wheel for this today. I call it "Inside-Other." You can grab a copy here. Unzip it and put the included file in your wheels folder.

A picture is better than my explanation. Here is Abraham Lincoln's final (assassination) Lunar Return, showing only his natal planets in the SLR framework, without the SLR planets. (Why in the world would you do this? Well, sometimes the angular natals are more interesting than the SLR itself, and it's educational to view it this way. Look at Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus.)

Indeed! I always pay very close attention to natal planets near/on the SLR angles. Sometimes, its the sole key in accurately reading a SLR.

Thanks for the new SF Wheel function. :)

Also useful for those who use the "A's planets in B's cusps" tradition method of synastry, though I rather prefer Jim's "B's planets as transits to A's chart."
