Chart drawing style: HellenisticDefault settings: Whole Sign Houses, only seven classical planets and lunar node, Parts of Fortune, Spirit, and Eros. The colors of the planet indicate which astrological "sect" they belong to. The Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn are considered day planets and are red, whereas the Moon, Venus, and Mars are considered night planets and are blue. Mercury is considered a day planet when he rises before the Sun, otherwise he is a night planet.) Only the following aspects are used: conjunction, opposition, square, trine, sextile. Aspects displayed with a solid or dashed line have the following orbs: 13° for the Moon and 3° for the Sun and the planets. If the line is half solid and half dashed, the Moon's orb is fulfilled, but the planet's orb is not. The lunar node has no orb, and no aspects are drawn. (recommendation of Chris Brennan) Dotted aspect lines indicate whole-sign aspects, which were more common in Hellenistic astrology. A conjunction is given when two planets are in the same sign, a square is given when two planets occupy two signs that are in square to each other, and so on. With Whole Sign Houses, the 1st house contains the whole sign in which the ascendant is located. The 2nd house is the next sign, the 3rd house the next but one, etc.
The drawing also uses three "lots" (κλῆροι), also called "Arabic points" or
"parts", which, however, were already in use in Hellenistic astrology. They are
called Fortune, Daimon and Eros. The Daimon is named after the divine being
which, according to the imagination of the ancient Greeks, accompanies the
human being and leads him to his destiny. The three points are calculated as
