While the use of astrological charts isn’t inherently necessary in cosmic and celestial witchcraft, they can be very helpful and give a lot of context within one’s craft.

NOTE!: This is my personal understanding of the use of astrology charts within witchcraft. I implore you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions via said further research and your craft experience.

ᯓ★ Natal Charts

These charts are based on the position of the Sun when you were born. The Sun in our solar system is in charge not only of providing key catalysts in sustaining life on Earth, but also of holding our entire solar system in check. There wouldn’t be any planets within astrology or much of the astrological system as we know it without the Sun. Within traditional astrology, the Sun represents life/vitality, potential, spirit, perception, and the core of one’s identity. The Sun goes through cycles within our sky, shown through the ascendant (rising) and descendant (setting) houses. Demonstrating how just because there are set things within your chart there are still progressions and transformations over time.

The Natal Chart imo is the ultimate cheat code for making your spell work and the intentions of your workings tailored to your energy. It’s a great place also for reflection and unpacking certain mindsets and burdens. If you’re interested in working/worshipping planetary energies it can be a great way of identifying and finding cosmic allies.

Autumn Example: I’ve used my natal chart in shadow work to see my growth as a person and work on issues brought on by certain placements. I’m a Leo Mercury and am currently working with that placement to heal my self-doubt when it comes to problem-solving and analysis, become confident speaking in academic settings, but also in debates or topics I’m passionate about watching my volume, and disconnecting my self-worth from my performance in analytical or academic fields (which as a Virgo rising is HARD). I’ve also used my natal chart to inform my approach to spell work. Let’s say I want to manifest something in the field of career, I tend to look at my 10th house and my Saturnian placements to see how to ensure I’m fit to inhabit that house.

ᯓ☆ Transit Charts

These charts are used to analyze how current astrological events impact the world and you on an energetic level. Through degrees and locations of certain celestial bodies, it can influence different areas of your how things manifest within your day-to-day life. Often providing overall cosmic harmony and lessons in the areas of the natal chart that they might impact.

There are two ways, both valid, in working with transit charts. One way is focusing on the current transit as it is, how current placements of planets are impacting each other and what can be done with that energy (Venus in Taurus, or Jupiter in Cancer as of time posted). Another way is seeing how the transits appear and aspects with your natal chart, like transiting Venus aspecting your natal Mars and what that energy can bring for you.

Autumn Example: I typically use transits to first see if now of all times would be good to do spell work given positions both in transit and in my natal chart. Depending on whether I’m doing a spell to help me externally my focus is on the planets in transit themselves rather than natal, if it’s to help me internally I involve both the natal and transit, and if a mix on intention it depends on a few things.

ᯓ★ Solar Returns/Return Charts

A return is when the celestial body you’re looking at returns to the place it was when you were born. For a solar return typically on your birthday whereas for a lunar return (moon goes back to birth spot) for example it can vary. The purpose of these charts is to give a forecast of the themes that will come up during its new revolution around the sun till the next return.

These are similar to transits in a way given you’re looking at transiting planets in relation to your natal chart, though with returns it’s a bit more personal because of its appearance in the natal chart.

Returns are great for manifesting things since they do serve as astrological birthdays for the celestial objects returning. Not to mention for Solar Returns in particular possible themes of spell work during the span of the year. Also perfect time for doing divination with the planetary energy involved in the return, if you practice astrolatry.

Autumn Example: My 2025 solar return was heavy in Plutonian aspects and placements which has shown in my spell work as I’ve heavily focused on transformative workings. I use returns to manifest for things within the domains of the returning celestial object, like for a Venus return I might work with the transits generally in that time with a focus on Venusian or Leoan (Leo Venus) qualities.

ᯓ☆ Persona Charts

These charts are essentially natal charts but for specific celestial objects within your chart. This can range from planets, houses, asteroids, fixed stars, etc. Persona Charts are often used to get a better look at the true nature of certain placements and in turn a better understanding of you and what you might need in certain areas.

Persona Charts are great for manifesting qualities in the overall placement, it treats it like a person/character with dimension, depth and layers. I could say I want to do a glamour working on being more alluring, but what does that actually mean and what do I want about myself to be perceived as alluring? Persona Charts allow you to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a placement down to its core and make big magical intentions into tangible spell work steps.

Autumn Example: I adore working with persona charts as a creative, one of my favourite things to include in celestial magic. Following the idea of an allure glamour working I’d probably look at asteroid Sirene or planet Venus to better understand the strengths, struggles, and lessons that go with it. Through reflection I might determine what area in the chart corresponds to what I want area I want to be alluring, maybe it’s attracting people in business or in commitments, I might base my working off the Mercury or Venus in the Sirene or Venus persona chart.

ᯓ★ Synastry Charts

Synastry is essentially seeing how your natal chart aspects and interacts with someone else’s. This can show themes of your overall relationship with a person, areas of both connection and disconnect.

In spell work synastry is great for seeing how your energy interacts with someone else’s either in the sense of a conjoined/shared working or you doing a working for somebody else. It can show what your energy can bring to the table to help and how another person’s energy can be impacted by that.

Autumn Example: I use synastry when doing spell work for friends to see the best way I can use my energy to help them. For example, I did a Venusian working for a friend and I analyzed how my energy would influence their Sun, Venus, and Jupiter. Using that analysis I planned my spell work accordingly.

ᯓ☆ Extra Notes/Thoughts

There’s no one chart to rule them all, everyone’s practice is different and every chart can give a different perspective. It’s combining and looking at things from varying perspectives through the charts that not only can elevate your spell work but also lead to a better understanding of yourself and your goals magically.

In the context of astrolatry, it can also be a great way to better understand your relationship with the celestial object you worship and possible ways to work with them on both short and long term scale.

Anyways I hope y'all enjoyed this and found it helpful. Feel free to share your experience and thoughts on charts within spell work, cosmic magic, and celestial magic as a whole.

To Mercury, the Beggar-Prince

O Wandering Minister, O Lord of Luck, O Councillor to the Lost

We rejoice to see your twinkling eye upon us

We scan the skies at night to catch you peeking over the horizon

We play the Game of Games in your honor

We sing the Song of Our People, and know that you sing with us We give freely our favor to the beggar, so that you need not favor the thief

Road-keeper, way-finder, stealer of secrets and maker of keys

We share, laugh, dance, and dice in your name

Our table is your table, our fire is your fire, 

When we are without food, O Mercury, fill our bellies with laughter

When we are without fire, warm us by the bodies of our kin

When we are without wine, dull our minds with the solace of sleep

Give us your blessings, that the world be less cruel

Give us your kindness, to carry forth this blessing to others

Prince of Beggars! King of Thieves! Lord of Masks!

Both Sirius and Orion were tied to the annual flooding of the Nile. Sirius’s appearance in mid-June marked the start of the river’s gradual rise, which reached its peak by August in Upper Egypt and September in the northern regions. After seventy days of invisibility, Orion’s stars reappeared in the night sky, coinciding with the river turning a reddish color due to oxide sediments from the floodwaters. This red hue was evocative of blood—perhaps symbolizing the blood of Osiris. Mythologically, Isis’s tears (Sirius) for the slain Osiris (Sah/Orion) were believed to cause the river’s swelling. The dismemberment and scattering of Osiris’s body throughout Egypt symbolized the ritual fertilization of the land. His blood metaphorically transformed into water, which nourished the earth to bring forth life. When Orion became visible again, the floodwaters began to recede, and the first mounds of land emerged from the water, giving rise to new vegetation. The saturated black soil symbolizes rebirth, as Osiris himself was resurrected, his skin depicted as green like the lush plants of the valley.

TBH right now I'm more focused on it coming out at all, but I'd like to have voice actors later down the line once I'm 100% sure it's gonna work.

We're a small team and there's a lot of distractions and not enough manpower so we will see!
