Abstract Astrological Portraits

I have been a practicing astrologer for 20 years.  I first became interested in astrology when I was twelve years old, and seriously began to study it when I became an adult.  Recently I have been dealing with a chronic condition that has forced me to be sedentary.  I’ve always wanted to combine my love and knowledge of astrology with something that was creative and artistic. – and so I’ve developed the Abstract Astrological Portrait™

An Abstract Astrological Portrait™ is a piece of artwork that includes the Planets, the Sun, Moon, Ascendant (a.k.a. Rising sign), the North Node, and the Astrological signs they are in.  I use the  “tropical” zodiac.  Each piece is completely unique, based on a particular point in time, most often a person’s birth date.  Two people born close to the same moment and in the same location will have the same symbols in their charts; however no two pieces of artwork will ever be the same, even in this circumstance. 

A Portrait may be made to represent any moment in time, such as the day of a special occasion like a wedding.  A couple may have a “composite” chart erected using their two individual birth charts, which is a chart of the “relationship,” and this type of chart may also be made into a Portrait.  I made a Portrait of the various planetary influences that affected my life during a particular year.  A Portrait may be made to mark the time at the “beginning” of anything.

Below are samples of many of my recent Abstract Astrological Portraits.  I hope you enjoy them.

Abstract Astrological Portraits™
by Dana Quillman - Venusian Triad

A moment in time may be turned into an Astrological chart through various mathematical calculations.  An Astrological chart shows the positions in space of the Planets, including the Sun and Moon, from the perspective of a particular point on earth, at a given moment in time.  An Astrological chart is what is used to give a person an Astrological “reading,” which may be very helpful in a person gaining a more clear perspective on their life – As Above So Below. 
 
In order to have an astrological chart erected including the Ascendant, an accurate time and location of birth are necessary.  Without a birth time the Moon sign may also be in question because on many dates the Moon changes signs.  Because of the abstract nature of the artwork, it may be hard to pinpoint the planetary placements in the Portrait with or without the Ascendant and Moon signs present.  Therefore, it is not necessary to have a time and location of birth in order to have a Abstract Astrological Portrait created for a person. 
 
The original artwork is currently being done on a 4 x 5-1/2 section of a 5 x 7 piece of watercolor paper with art-markers.  The pieces blow up well to a larger size print.  Please contact me to inquire about larger size custom orders.  It is possible to request a particular color scheme by viewing my other works and requesting a piece to include colors similar to a previously made Portrait. 
 

The cost of having an Abstract Astrological Portrait made, or to purchase an original piece already done is $45.00.  Included in the cost is, the original piece of artwork and a set of 12 blank greeting cards.  In purchasing a Portrait, it is to be understood that I retain the right to reproduce the piece if I choose to.  Greeting cards sold separately are $2.25 each and you can choose from any of the portraits I have done.  Sales tax is included.  Buyer pays the actual shipping cost.


When you order a custom Portrait, you will receive a listing of your planetary placements.  
Below is an example of my planetary placements.
