How to Download Your Birth Charts (Astrology, Human Design and Gene Keys)
Oct 13, 2023I use multiple systems when working with clients because each system unveils a unique layer of a client’s soul and psyche.
The systems I use are Astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, Cards of Destiny and Name Numerology.
Learning the Systems in Order
When you begin your journey using these systems, I recommend starting with your Astrology Natal Birth Chart because it gives the broadest overview of your personality and life. I run a client’s Name Numerology at the same time as their birth chart because often the Astrology Chart validates their Name Numerology. Most of the time I see the same traits appear in both.
Next, I’d recommend exploring your Gene Keys. The Gene Keys are laid out in a particular sequence that you can follow like a map. Each Key comes with a detailed description that serve as journal prompts for self reflection making the Gene Keys an easy to use, do-it-yourself system without needing to study any symbols or mythology.
Once you know your Astrology chart and have started the process of self reflection with the Gene Keys, your Human Design Chart will provide more detail to your Astrology chart.
Cards of Destiny is a newer system that I recently added to my tool belt. I still refer to Astrology Charts as my main source, but I have found truth in this system as well, especially in regards to relationships between people.
Advice on Working With Multiple Systems
As you work your way through each chart and system, give yourself time to absorb and digest new revelations. Take as much time as you need. Absorb new information one piece at a time. There is no rush to learn all the systems at once.
When you learn something new, observe how what you learned shows up in your life. Ask yourself lots of questions about how that part of your personality or programming serves you and if it is constructive or destructive to your life and growth. This self reflection process requires both logically understanding AND emotionally feeling the impact of the trait or belief on your life. You may find you have to make changes to re-align to your authentic self or reach your goals.
Give this process ample time before moving on to a new insight.
Now let the journey of self discovery begin!

Astrology Natal Birth Chart
Firstly, I do not recommend Co-Star.
Personally, I recommend working with full wheel charts or working with someone who can read charts.

Now that that is out of the way, let's download your natal birth chart!
Follow the written instructions below or follow along my YouTube video. The video walks you through the same instructions. Click on the YouTube thumbnail below.

- Click on 'Horoscopes' > 'Extended Chart Selection'
- Click on 'Enter birth data.' *If you already have an account on Astro.com, jump to Step 4.
- If you plan on running charts often, especially for friends and family, I recommend creating a free account. Every chart you create will be saved in your Astro.com library.
- Enter your birth data and click 'continue.' You don't need to hit 'show / hide extended settings' at this time.
- Now you should be on the 'Extended Chart Selection' page. Use the settings in the following images. I've put a few notes about settings below:
- If you already have an account on Astro.com, next to 'Horoscope for:' click on the name button with the drop down arrows to choose a person's chart. To add a new person, next to the name click the blue "+Add" button.
- The 'Start date' doesn't matter in this case because we are not looking at transit charts.
- Next to 'Image size' Click on 'landscape, if possible'.
- Under 'Aspects' check 'to Chiron' and 'to lunar node and eclipses'.
- Under 'Additional objects' click on Pars Fortunae, Vertex, Lilith, Chiron, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, Vesta, Eris, Aldebaran, Antares, Regulus, Sirius, Algol.

- Then click the big green button, "Show the chart >>"
9. Once you see your chart, you may right click on the image and click 'Save Image'. In addition to saving it as a PNG, I recommend saving it as a PDF. I have found that the PDF version of these charts work best and are the most clear.
