Around 1974-75 I discovered an elderly man (a very wise elderly man!) who taught Astrology classes near my home. My sister and I joined his beginning class and learned how to erect natal charts. He did NOT teach 'astrology' per sey, he believed one needed to dig deep into the subject and experience the initiatory journey on one's own first. He did however give public lectures on the more esoteric, archetypal, and psychological aspects of Astrology. He was, I believe, one of the last of that age group of true 'Occultists'.
When he was only 9 years old (he was in his late 70's when I first met him in 1974 and he left this world at age 84 I think it was) his parents did his natal chart and saw what lay there. They packed their 9 year old off with his uncle to India to be trained until he was about 21 I believe. Needless to say he learned many different of the 'Arts' while in India and was deeply knowledgable about not only Astrology but also numerology, gemology, tantra, astral projection, and numerous other things. This is where this gemstone and natal chart information came from originally. From this special and magical old man I had the great fortune to know for a few years from 1974 through the early 1980's.
Take your natal chart and assuming you know it rather well, look at both the positive and more difficult placements and aspects etc. Make note of these planets, signs, elements, and aspects etc. etc. With this list of both the positive planets and aspects you want to highlight, find the matching gemstones for each of these planets. Next, do the same with the hard or difficult placements and aspects in your natal and find the corresponding gemstones for each of those planets. So you'll have 2 listes of possible gemstone choices to use for the enhancement of the positive and easy placements/planets natally, and another list of possible gemstones to use to help the hard or difficult placements/planets natally.
Once you've chosen all the different gemstones you're going to use for you Natal Amulet, you'll need to first clean them all in sea salt for no less than 3 days and nights. Preferably you'll start this whole process during a New Moon OR a month and time that's highly positive for you astrologically. Clean them by burying them in a bowl of sea salt and leaving them untouched for the 3 days/nights, or a full Lunar cycle of 28 days.
The first gemstone to use will be the large base stone that all the other much smaller stones will be glued onto. So this large base gemstone will represent your ASC Sign and planets energies. (There's numerous great and accurate books now where you can find this info about which gemstones go with which planets and signs etc.) This stone can be as large as you want it just make sure ahead of time that all the smaller gemstones you're going to be adding to the back of it will have enough room to fit easily. You'll glue these other smaller stones to the back of the main large ASC gemstone.
Here's where it gets fun. This Teacher would add each of the smaller gemstones to the back of the amulet only during the corresponding astrological planetary hour! IOW's if he needed to add a Mars type gemstone to your amulet, he'd set his clock for the next Mars hour even if that was at 3 AM to 4 AM! He'd get up then and place, glue that Mars stone onto the amulet during that Mars hour only. And if a Saturn stone needed to be added and the next Saturn hour was 10 hours later, he'd wait until then and only then glue that Saturn gemstone onto the amulet. It may take a week or more for you to build your personal astrological gemstone amulet but.......it will be SO worth it in the end. It will radiate energies that are for you and you alone!
