Designing the Wheel of Fortune

I used to teach a class about the real basics of astrology. This was a class for beginners with not even a whiff of technicality.

I decided to create a visual aid to learning astrology that the students could make themselves and get to keep. I happiliy called it my “Wheel of Fortune.”

This diagram was inspired by the birth chart and has the twelve signs on it.

Template Creation for my Wheel of Fortune

I created a template for one sign that fits on a letter size piece of paper which can be printed out. The student printed out 12 pages and started to color in and make notes on their Wheels of Fortune. 

The beauty of this is that everyone had a similar wheel, but each one was unique.

This wheel is made up of twelve “slices” just like the slices of a pizza. Each slice is 30° wide and therefore is exactly one zodiac sign.

How to Construct Your Wheel

  • Print 12 sheets, so that’s one page for each sign.
  • Add your own keywords and notes to each sign.
  • Colour in as much as you like.
  • Cut the slice out leaving the tab on.
  • Carefully layout all the signs in the right order.

      Zodiac Signs in Order

      The signs in order anticlockwise are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

      • Tape the slices lightly at the front with small pieces of masking tape just to hold it.
      • Turn it over and magic tape the slices together.

        Note: Take your time as the slices can be tricky.

        • When completed glue the whole wheel onto a sheet of cardboard or Bristol board for support.
        • Cut with scissors and trim to 5mm to the edge of the circle.

          Hang Your Wheel of Fortune

          Hang the finished astrology wheel by a centre pin so that it can rotate, because you read each sign when it is at the bottom and the signs can be read from all around.

           

          How to Use the Wheel of Fortune

          You should place your wheel on the wall near your desk and where you do your astrology work. In this way, it becomes as inspiration and a memory jogger for when you forget things.  

          Remember to send me a photo of your completed wheel and I will publish it on this post later. There is no time limit. Enjoy being creative and learning at the same time.

          Keywords to Use

          Many astrology keywords are well known and you should add these to your wheel.

          When you discover a new word to describe the signs you can add them to your wheel. This is how you interpret astrology and not how I do, or the next guy does.

          Be your own astrologer and develop the art so that it speaks to you.

          Why stray from the true and tested keywords? Because we want to hear your voice coming through in your interpretations.

          If you ask ten artists to paint a picture of an apple they will all produce a painting that represents an apple. Maybe Picasso’s apple is a bit odd but it is still an apple how he sees it.

          It is the same with astrology. Every astrologer can read a chart, but each one brings their own flair to the reading. Your own words are important and this is why you need to develop your own words as well.

           

          How we Learn as Things Change

          Back in the day I was taught that the eighth house was to do with death. But I prefer to read it as a transformation either of the mind, body or the finances.

          Now, blood donors and blood donations (other people’s resources) are shown in your eighth house.

          Greek astrologers or even those in the last century may not have experienced blood donors (or had the ability to benefit from blood donation) but we have this today.

          It’s the same with Instagram and Facebook being in the eleventh house. Social media and being “friends” with others is an eleventh house thing. But ten years ago FB was unknown.

           

          Always Interpret in Your Own Words

          Yes, you need to use the usual keywords to start with as you learn astrology. It is the language of astrology. But as you develop your own astrological voice I urge to use your own words. This may take a while but I encourage you to take ownership of the astrology you do.

          If you want a cookie-cutter reading you can go to the internet and find a free site that prints preprinted pages of interpretations.

          But, if you want to be a good astrologer you need to do your own thing. Your own thing comes from the internal dynamics of your own chart.

          Be yourself. Don’t be just a human computer churning out information with no discernment for the value of what you produce, rather be yourself.

          Doodling

          When I attend lectures I often find myself doodling in the margins as the speaker talks and I thought about this for a while and at my workshops and lectures.

          When I taught every evening and four classes a week my students would come to class with their binders and stuff their notes from class into them. It occurred to me that they could do with a nice cover page for their binders so I created this page specifically to be colored in.

          Each student was able to do their own color combination and it became a component of the classes. So now I give each astrology class student or workshop attendee one of original astrology themed colouring pages.

          I want to share this with you now and offer you a free PDF download of one of my astro art pages.

          Astrology Binder Cover Page

          The idea is that you write your name in the space at the bottom and use this as the cover for your astrology binder (or file). If you are new to astrology you may not see the subtlety of the symbols peppered about this page but they will all be revealed as you learn about this exciting craft of astrology.

          If you are an aspiring astrologer then you probably have a few journals, files or binders where you keep all of your exciting astrology notes, class notes, snippets and information. There is so much to learn. I get it. It can be overwhelming at times. I have created a front cover for you to use for your astrology journal.

          All you have to do is download it and colour it in to your heart’s content. I’m calling these images and diagrams Astro Art and until I get a better name I’ll stick with that.

           

          How to Colour

          You can do felt pen, pen and ink, pastels or primaries. It’s up to you.vIf you like you can do more than one copy.Now you can always have something to doodle on when you find yourself in a long lecture.

           

          Share

          When you have completed your Astrology Art cover page please share it with us use the hashtag #starzart I can’t wait to see what you can do.

          This year I plan to have more images for you to color in and they are coming out soon, so get those crayons sharpened.

          Creating Good Habits with The Moon: 30 Day Drawing Challenge

          Creativity

          In astrology, your habits are closely realted to the Moon.

          As the Moon passes through your birth chart it transits every house and forms every possible aspect to all of your planets.

          Because of the Moon’s natural abilities, everything is sensed and instinctively known. You just have to pay attention.

          Habits

          To break a bad habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth or one month.

          By the same token, to build a good habit takes one lunar orbit of the Earth, or 30 days, give or take a whisker.

          30 Day Drawing Challenge

          Thus is born the 30 Day Challenge. All new habits can be established if they are practiced every day for 30 days.

          I talk about the five components to live a satisfying life which are; love, money, wellbeing, vision and creativity.

          I have taken up a creative project, and I will be doing a new sketch, or drawing,  every day for 30 days. You can join me if you like.

          New habits that you begin are better supported, and more dynamic, when started at a New Moon, or a solar eclipse, like the one that occurred on August 11th, which spurred me into action as it was conjoined my Sun.

          You can practice New Moon Wishing in line with your birth chart to support your creative new habits.

          I will post my progress here. Tag your creations with #starz30 so we can see your beauties. “The 30 Day Drawing Challenge”

          Please share this with anyone who needs to see it.

          Have a prosperous day,

          Day 1

          Vancouver Art Gallery - Day 1

          The Vancouver Art Gallery from the steps of Robson Square, downtown Vancouver.

          I take a photo just to show you. I complete the drawing at the location.

          The buildings were a bit wobbly and the trees were hard to draw, but hopefully, I will get better over the next 29 days.

          Day 2

          The giant pandas outside the Marriott Parq Hotel in Vancouver.

          This piece is named “Slow” by Chinese artist Zhang Huan. This sculpture is in stainless steel and is highly polished.

          Huan’s pandas are “meant to eulogize eternal maternity and family while expressing expectations of a future, and expresses the artist’s understanding of human nature and his thoughts on love and eternity.” 

          This drawing was quite a challenge to do in pen and ink. There is about 50 shades of grey.

          On a side note, I need to get another pen as this one seems to have run out of ink.

          Day 2 of the 30 Day Drawing Challenge over. Roll on the next twenty-eight.

          Day 3

          Sunset Beach

          This is the view across Sunset beach in Vancouver. Looking towards the west.

          There were three main bands of color.

          From the top down, the sky a hazy grey/blue due to lots of forest fire smoke, the sea which had more bands of dark blue and green within it, and the sand which was beige and grey, or greige, in the footsteps of the bathers.

          Beachcombing was great and we collected many shells which we will use as mulch in the little plant pots in our apartment..

          Day 4

          The waterfall and rill in my local Emery Barnes park in Vancouver.

          This was the first year for ages that they have had water flowing in the city parks due to recent water shortages.

          The water itself was difficult to capture and somehow the falling water is not quite right, but I think the general image is ok.

          Day 5

          What is to come…
