English: Some additional information concerning the movie:

The CONCEPT OF TIME in modern Astrology in the begin of the 21st century goes beyond old fashioned mechanistic and psychological models of the past - despite nowadays many people only know so called Cookbook Astrology, thinking something like 'That person is born with sun and planets in those Zodiac signs, that's my his character is that and that'.

The modern point of view was establishes by Astrologers like Dane Rudhyar in Paris, Tad Man in New York and Copenhagen, Otto Kayser in Austria, Dennis Ellwell in the UK and Robert Hand in the USA. From their point of view the human being is not static, but changes itself since his date of birth. Regardless of the prognostic method an astrologer is working with, i.g. transits, secundary or tertiary progressions, directorates, solar, lunar, rhythmic inductions, it has always to be compared with the Radix, the birth chart - and vice versa. The human changes his face just like the solar system changes its constellation every second.

One approach to understand the concept of time in Astrology is the visualization. Dane Rudhyar, the founder of humanistic astrology and close fried to Henry Miller, rather never interpreted a person's birth chart, but despite that his 1936 published book 'The Astrology of Personality: A Reformulation of Astrological Concepts and Ideals ' is still modern nowadays.

In the late 70th of the last century the astrologer and architect A.T. Mann made an exhibition in NY and published the book 'The Round Art' showing paintings both of Tibetan Mandalas, Horoscope charts and planetary space models. In the begin of the 80th Otto Kayser, also an architect and astrologer, presented and worked with Mann's visual model in Berlin.

End of the 80th the British astrologer Dennis Ellwell published the book 'Cosmic Loom', presenting his idea of time, that planetary constellations and events in the future could influence the present and the past. In 1990 Robert Hand presented his idea of modern astrology saying he is not that of that Zodiac Sign, nor the planetary transits or progressions, but a 'process, developing in time'.

Later at the World Astrology conferences in Luzern/Switzerland astrologers from the USA the first time presented computer programs to print the complete visualization of radix and transit charts for the whole live of a person a VHS tape. Other astrologers working with a visual point of view are Astrid Fallon, former head of the Belgium association of Astrologers, and Peter Neubäcker, Munich/Germany.

Being in this tradition of modern this movie was created by me, hoping that it could help astrologers to go some steps beyond cookbook astrology and to create a networked thinking approach, up to date at the second decade of the 21st century.
