Major Chart Patterns
The Two Views
You can look at either your standard geocentric natal
chart or at a heliocentric natal chart. I always look at
both. As you now know, the traditional geocentric natal
chart tells you about the personality and circumstances
of a person, as well as how this person appears to
others. This is our outer chart. The heliocentric chart is
calculated for the same time, but from the perspective of
the entire solar system, of which the earth is only one
part. The helio chart, what has been called the Dharma
or Heart Chart, shows the inner self, who we are in
essence, beneath all of the circumstances and
appearances. This is our inner chart.
I have been doing chart readings professionally for
some 35 years, and I always want to look at both the
geo and helio chart patterns before I sit down with a
client. Most astrological software will calculate both of
these charts in seconds and print them out on the open
