Although I am not a professional astrologer - I am an award-winning animator, director and educator - I have studied and applied astrological principles to my life for well over 50 years now.
Keen to share my combined love or art, animation and astrology with the world - i.e. in order that those who know nothing about astrology have a visual bridge to it's most fundamental principles - I visited a number of psychic fairs and other sympathetic events in the pre-Covid era, to introduce individuals to their true "astrological selves". Part of this was through me creating an animation app that is able to generate a person's animated birth chart - i.e. the 10 planets in the 12 Signs on the day of their birth.
However, the pandemic put an end to all that, so I am now wondering if these video could be offered as an affordable resource to professional astrologers introducing astrological principles to first-time clients? A video can be generated in less than 1-minute, once the birth details are entered.
The app is not available to sell yet but through it I could offer a service (in accordance with my true "Virgo sellium" nature) to astrologers who would like to offer this kind of thing to their clients as an additional bonus to their readings. If it proved successful, a saleable app could be developed, so that astrologers could create videos in real time, on their own computers, while with their clients.
As an example of what a video looks like, here is one that is based on my own date of birth, August 27th, 1947. I would be very willing to rework the words and messages of the video, if astrologers would like something slightly more tailored to their own approach...

The above "STARTOONZ" video series is not the only thing I've done to bring together my love of astrology and my art/animation skills.
By clicking the "Work in Progress" link above, you will see the beginnings of a full-length animated film project that I was hoping to make - on the life and work of the great 17th-century herbalist/astrologer, Nicholas Culpeper. Alas, the pandemic put a hold on those plans, although the dream remains alive in my heart if funding can be found for that project.
At the same time, I have written and illustrated a beginners guide to astrology, "The Secret Life of Stars", as well as producing a beautiful 12-design collection of the "Healing Herbs of the Zodiac".
Recently, I have embarked on an illustrated graphic novel, "MADA and the Magic Tree", which is effectively a spiritual "hero's journey".
