What is a birth chart or natal chart?
A natal chart is a horoscope/astrological chart drawn for the exact time of an individual's birth at a particular place on Earth for the purposes of gaining astrological information about the individual.
What is the process to create a custom birth chart?
When you order a birth chart, you are required to provide your birth date, exact time of birth and birth location. With this information, I calculate a report using Astro.com. I create your custom illustration using the information from the chart generated on Astro.com.

For your own protection, your billing name and address must match the credit card used for payment. We reserve the right to cancel orders not meeting these requirements.
What is the process to commission custom artwork?
For custom illustrated birth charts, you will provide the name, time of birth, date and location of birth at the time of your order. This information will be used to generate your natal chart.
After receiving payment in full, I will begin the process of creating your custom illustrated birth chart.
