The current astrological chart is a vision of the Solar System seen from our position on Earth at a specific place and time. The 12 signs represent the movement of the Sun traveling the zodiac belt, seen from Earth.
If we extend the astrological framework to include the galaxy we will be moving from an Earth-based system to a Sun-based system. In this way we will be increasing our experiences from the individual human level to reaching a scale that includes humanity. This is the purpose of Galactic Astrology.
The galactic card describes the galactic body of a person, that is, their role in the development of humanity, from the transpersonal point of view.
Galactic astrology is a system centered on the Sun, with a division into 12 sectors of the galactic plane instead of the ecliptic or zodiac plane.
How is it calculated?
The galactic plane crosses the zodiac plane at two points: at 26 ° from Sagittarius in the direction of the galactic center, and at 26 ° from Gemini in the opposite direction. Starting from the 26th of Sagittarius, the galactic circle is divided into 12 equal parts, which represent the 12 galactic signs. The inclination between both planes is 62 °.
To convert the zodiac natal chart into the galactic card we must bear in mind that the latter has as its center the Sun, not the Earth. From our planet we see the Sun in a certain position in the zodiac. But the Sun sees the Earth at the opposite point of the zodiac belt. In the galactic card the Sun is in the center, and the Earth is the opposite position to the Sun.
The birth chart is a description of the psychological level with its behavior patterns, learned responses and the ego. The galactic card points to our star nature and our destiny, but this level needs to be developed.
We need to be aware of our galactic body to be able to use it completely. The galactic card is a vision of the human being as a creature of the galaxy instead of the solar system.
The zodiac natal chart shows the psychological aspect and what a person can achieve for himself and for those around him. The galactic card shows what a person can do for a much larger group, it refers to the service he can provide to humanity.

The 12 symbols
The symbols of the 12 galactic signs are drawn from the hexagon, joining the vertices without lifting the pencil from the paper. In this way 12 pictograms are obtained:
The Galactic Wheel
Interestingly, if we draw the 12 symbols all together within the hexagon, we get a figure that represents the Metatron's Cube:
In this way, we see that the symbols are inscribed within the geometry that gives rise to everything that exists in the universe.
12 being the galactic signs, this gives us the idea that the Soul must realize its learning through all of them in different incarnations, to achieve mastery in the different ways of serving the humanity.
The 12 Galactic Signs
The galactic signs represent 12 professions, which are activities related to human nature.
Although they are professions mundanas, we must execute them taking into account their spiritual dimension, so that we can fulfill the mission of our Soul and thus truly bring Heaven to Earth .

Legislator
The law can be seen as a force that creates order from chaos, when it is truly understood and managed with conscience.
The true potential of a person born under this sign lies in his good judgment and intuitive knowledge to know what is right and what is wrong. It is a great gift that should be used with the utmost care and honesty. Any biased or discriminatory element that affects the neutrality of the individual can damage his reputation and intrinsic qualities.
If the law is implemented for the benefit of a sector or group of society, or of a ruler, it can result in oppression, fear and injustice and cause disharmony, the exact opposite of its purpose.
Explorer
In each of us lie subconscious qualities. The explorer has an inherent need to delve into and discover what is hidden . The old adage "the answers for everything are within you" should be the key to access this information and thus increase knowledge.
To explore is to reveal or discover what has always been there but is still unknown.
The native of this sign has a mysterious ability to understand things that are apparently not understandable. This may mean exploring new possibilities or probabilities that should be cultivated for good results in the future. This ability should not be misused for personal purposes or to manipulate others.
Cultivator
The principle of "nurturing" is to foster growth by selflessly giving out what is necessary and understanding what is growing.
The person who cultivates needs to care for and assist in the conditions and circumstances to encourage growth. Growth progress can often be hindered by lack of care, producing irregularities and disorder, and sometimes ending in destruction.
This sign aims to nurture and encourage activities that make things look beautiful. The native of this sign will leave nothing unattended to cultivate his Garden of Eden .
Builder
Everything that exists begins with a thought. That thought is transferred to a model to be manifested later. This is the framework for construction. Often in the construction process the objectives are not clearly defined and chaos can reign. The objectives must be firmly established before construction begins.
The principle of construction is to create order from the chaos structuring and organizing the raw material to achieve a beautiful and functional way .
This sign infuses the native with a remarkable industriousness and visionary qualities that are needed to lay the foundations of a great institution. The native will have rewarding experiences in the field of structuring and design. Your contribution will not only benefit the present generation but also move into the future. Discipline, innovation and ingenuity are the key words to complete this gigantic task.
Merchant
The activity of life. Transactions on the affairs and interests of life must flow, or it ends in a stalemate. In a commercial sense, the exchange system was established before money became a means of exchange in commerce.
This sign determines the business skills that a person must have to be successful in business. These skills are multiple, like a cunning mind that can detect opportunities for business in certain situations. Sensible ability to make decisions and visionary qualities are the keywords of any business . Identifying and focusing on the right group of customers as well as the products or services on offer is another important feature. However, you should be honest and pragmatic in your dealings with others to get the best out of your business.
Collector
Collect what has been the product of our work or effort. It can take the form of prizes or punishments, depending on the result. The saying “you will reap your sowing” summarizes the situation.
This galactic sign corresponds to the wise harvester, an expert in the cycle of the seasons, climatic changes, planting techniques and cultivation methods. Timely efforts together with a brilliant mind capable of making the right decisions allow us to enjoy the fruit of our labor. The native of this sign will comply with the laws of nature that force us to go out to find the right land and devote all our energy.
The time to collect is the end of a cycle, the moment when one reaps the efforts made during the growing season. The reaper knows exactly when the fruits of his labor are ready, neither before nor after his maturity. There is always insecurity until the crop is stored safely, since crops can be ruined at any time. The crops contain the seed for future crops and food for next year. Harvest
It is a time of celebration and gratitude when the laws of cycles are understood . It is also a time of endings and new beginnings, death and rebirth.
Healer
If there is disease it means that the body is not working in harmony and that there is some disorder in the psychological structure. The causes of the disease are varied and the Healer needs to recognize the cause of the disease, its root. Once responsibility for the disease is taken, harmony can be restored. The body is similar to a temple. When there is true harmony, many spiritual paths work together with a common goal: Unity.
The healing sign of the Healer is related to recovery and helping others to free themselves from physical and mental disorders that hinder their normal activities. The ability to correctly diagnose the disease and identify it according to its symptoms are not the only merits of a good healer. You should also know the correct medicine and the appropriate code of conduct to bring the rays of hope to the patient. Sometimes our psychic disorders are the result of fears, anguish and afflictions of a highly volatile mind. A good healer should be able to eliminate these harmful influences to bring a renewed sense of well-being and good health to his patients.
Ruler
There is often a need to know that a person assumes responsibility and takes leadership to guide others . In turn, the Ruler must realize that he has obligations, and while delegating his power to his subjects, he must understand the motivations and needs of his people and thus establish a common goal.
This galactic sign grants qualities such as great security, dignity, courage and leadership skills. The native of this sign will be accepted as a person whom everyone can admire. However, this also implies a great responsibility. Above all, you must at all times have the ability to sacrifice your personal interests for the benefit of others.
Interpreter
It is the one that entwines the high and low levels. The Interpreter needs to have a clear and concise meaning of the translated facts without coloring them with his own views. It is an intermediary that gives clarity to the objectives of each matter and its integrity must be maintained.
The Interpreter acts as a mediator between God and people . It deals with the transmission and the change that this transmission produces in man. It does not remove or add anything, it is simply a link.
Mental clarity, objective vision and benevolent intentions are essential for the messenger. Its true value lies in its neutrality, and must be absolutely dedicated to its function.
Teacher
Teaching is related to creating favorable conditions for intellectual and spiritual development, and also to bring out and inspire the creative potential of the student.
The teacher has access to knowledge that he transmits to those who are ready to receive it. He should have the wisdom and understanding that knowledge should not be given free of charge since its importance could fall on a stony ground and its true meaning could be lost or be misunderstood
Along with great knowledge comes a great responsibility, therefore the Master should make sure that he is transmitting the legacy to people who really deserve it .
Protective
There is a need to protect and value what is sacred to us. This is an elevated form of love which is dedicated to venerating a person or purpose. In this role, the Protector becomes the defense shield that rejects any form of attack against his faith. He is a custodian of the principles.
The Protector must be responsible and discriminate in order to perform his function without the interference of personal feelings and without getting involved. You must remain vigilant at all times.
The Protector defends everything that is sacred.
Artist
The Artist needs to express abroad all the creative potential within him. This manifests itself in many ways such as painting, writing and dance. In this way, the creation pattern is perpetuated.
Art works directly on the senses. The true artist, spontaneous and convincing, can unravel the symbolic manifestation of the subconscious and transmit the experience in a unique way. It should be noted that an ancient meaning of the word "art" was "skill."
The intensity and complexity of our feelings and emotions can overcome the logical forms of expression. Then art arrives to help. Art is able to combine the trivial with the sublime, the mortal with the eternal and transform common things into beautiful things that will bring joy forever.
