Abstract

An apparatus for presentation of astrological information includes a circular natal chart and a larger circular zodiac chart that are each attached to a bas. The zodiac chart includes a minimum diameter equal to or greater than the maximum diameter of the natal chart and a maximum diameter that is greater than its minimum diameter and is disposed concentrically in a predetermined alignment around the natal chart. A symbol for each desired celestial object, such as for each planet, the sun, and the moon are included along with a method for detachably attaching each of the symbols to the zodiac chart. According to a first embodiment, the base of the zodiac chart is formed of a flexible magnetic sheet material and each of the symbols are either ferrous or are themselves formed of a similar magnetic material. The symbols are each attached to the zodiac chart by the force of magnetic attraction that is developed intermediate each of the symbols and the zodiac chart. According to a second embodiment the zodiac chart includes a first part of a hook and loop fastener, such as is sold under the trade name "VELCRO", and each of the symbols includes a second part of the hook and loop fastener. The apparatus can itself be placed on a ferrous object, such as on a refrigerator, to which it will magnetically adhere or it can include a hook for suspension from a wall.
