Triangle sides
Outer lines (Ages 0–81)
About the X marks: the reference material places an X at the corner where each
name ends, "for it marks an important time in your development. Changes will occur, or a
definite event will change your outlook in some way." The age shown at that point is when to
expect it.

Why the diagram has this shapeShowHide details
The reference material devotes a chapter to the geometry itself, under the old occult axiom
"God geometrizes." Its argument is that four basic shapes form the foundation of all
numbers and shapes — and that your Blueprint is built from them.
The circle
Represents the Godhead — all that was, is and ever shall be; spirit, the I Am; love, because it encompasses, enfolds and contains; balance, because however you turn it it keeps its shape; and justice, because it is in perfect balance. A circle contains 360 degrees, and 3 + 6 + 0 = 9 — the highest and final single digit, which when multiplied by any number always reduces to 9 again (2×9 = 18/9, 3×9 = 27/9, 4×9 = 36/9). It has no beginning and no end, symbolising eternity and the immortality of the soul.

It has no beginning and no end, symbolising eternity and the immortality of the soul.
The vertical and horizontal lines
The upright vertical line represents spirit descending into matter — energy leaving the Godhead. It carries masculine qualities: outgoing, dynamic, energetic, fiery, commanding. Every energy has an opposing polarity, and the horizontal line is its counterpart: soul energy, the feminine, the receptive and absorptive qualities of mother earth, and an ancient symbol for matter and the material world.

The triangle
The first closed form that can be made with single lines. It represents the Trinity — Father-Son-Holy Ghost, father-mother-God, father-mother-child, spirit-soul-mind, and super-conscious, subconscious, conscious.

The Philosopher's Diamond, and why we see only half the truth
Two interlaced triangles form the Philosopher's Diamond, or Star of David, capturing the axiom "As above, so below." The upper triangle is the world of spirit — father-mother-God — reflected in the lower inverted triangle, the world of matter, father-mother-child. Each triangle contains only 180 degrees: half the 360 of a circle or square. So a single triangle holds only half the truth. Add the two together — 180 plus 180 — and you reach 360, all the truth. Situated in the lower triangle, we must look to the spirit in the upper one, or remain observers of shadows cast on the walls of Plato's cave.

The square
The second perfect shape drawable with single lines, and symbolic of the earth. The 4 recurs everywhere: the four points of the compass; the four elements of fire, earth, air and water; the four points of the cross; the forty days Christ spent in the desert; salt crystallising in cubes. Its four sides represent the four parts of the individual — the physical body added to the triangle of mind, soul and spirit — so that spirit now has a soul, a mind and a body to work through in the material world.

Why the triangle sits inside the squares
Spirit is contained within the body just as the triangle preceded the square and is contained within it. Our body belongs to the earth, but our soul belongs to the spirit. The triangle existed before and independently of the square, while the square depends entirely on the triangle it is built upon — which is why, on your Blueprint, the triangle sits at the centre with the three squares built around it.

What the three squares meanShowHide details
The three squares are not just containers for your numbers — the reference material explains
what each one is, and why it covers the years it does. Each is built on one side of
the Pythagorean 3-4-5 right triangle at the centre of the diagram.
The Youth square — ages 0 to 27 — built on the side valued 3 (Jupiter)
This is the period in which the mind and character are formed. "With Jupiter as the foundation of the first twenty-seven years of life, the principles of mental and spiritual expansion are at work." The reference material calls the youth square the cornerstone — the mind — upon which the temple, the body, is later built.

Ages 27 to 29 — the first Saturn return
At the corner where the youth square meets the centre triangle, the soul touches the fire of spirit for the first time since entering the body. "Between the ages of twenty-seven and twenty-nine, we are in a precarious position." Depending on how our energies have been used, this is where we may be burned by the fire of destruction, or transmuted by the fire of spirit — those who cling to past habits and conditioning find it painful, while those who use the past as a structure to build on are inspired to follow their true path of destiny.

The Power square — ages 27 to 54 — built on the side valued 4 (the earth)
Its foundation is the horizontal side of the triangle, a number related to the earth, which means these years are spent dealing with the material plane — job positions, salaries, housing and personal possessions. This square rests on the square of the mind: the earth plane is its base line, but the mind is the overseer. Here we are free of the psychological restrictions and childhood conditionings of the youth square, and the decisions about which way life goes rest exclusively with the individual.

Age 54 — the second Saturn return
At fifty-four the same transitional phenomenon occurs as at twenty-seven, bringing the same choices and results. For the second time we come into direct contact with the centre triangle of spirit — our own true inner self. Whatever we reap, we have sown; and if we have not sown wisely, this is the point at which the direction can still be changed.

The Wisdom square — ages 54 to 81 — built on the side valued 5 (Mercury)
This is the structure of the soul, and a period given to much introspection: we reflect on the past and its failures and accomplishments, on the present and what station in life we find ourselves at, and on the future — including death and the immortality of the soul. Mercury was the messenger of the deities, the link between heaven and earth; symbolically that messenger is the mind, the connection between soul and body, which in these years must turn from the material world and build a bridge to the world of Spirit through reflection, reason, order, logic and understanding. In the youth square the mind was formed; in the power square it had to operate in the world of form on its own; now it must analyse the results of the soul's evolution so far.

Major Process experiences (6 per line)ShowHide details
What these represent (short explanation):
Major Process points are the bigger "timing gates" on each 9-year line. They're calculated from the line's square-center vibration, the relevant triangle side vibration (Month/Day/Year), and the triangle-center vibration—then converted into ages where those themes tend to be emphasized.
Major Process points are the bigger "timing gates" on each 9-year line. They're calculated from the line's square-center vibration, the relevant triangle side vibration (Month/Day/Year), and the triangle-center vibration—then converted into ages where those themes tend to be emphasized.
From the reference material:
Each line of the blueprint reveals eight experiences over its nine-year span. Two methods compute these: the Major Process (six experiences, a wide 27-year perspective) and the Minor Process (two experiences, a more specific 9-year focus). "Major" and "minor" refer only to the length of the time-span involved — a minor experience can matter just as much as a major one, though it tends to have a more immediate effect rather than a long-range one. The Major Process combines three sets of numbers at each step: the number in the center of the square, the number on the side of the triangle, and the number in the center of the triangle — each added to and subtracted from the ages at either end of the line, using the single-digit base value (a master number is reduced to its base first, e.g. 33 becomes 6).

Minor Process experiences (2 per line)ShowHide details
What these represent (short explanation):
Minor Process points are the smaller "timing gates" within each 9-year line. They use the line's letter-number vibration plus either the square-center or the related triangle side, creating two ages (younger/older) where that line's lessons are commonly highlighted.

From the reference material:
The Minor Process uses three steps and two sets of numbers built from the letters of your name, which makes these experiences more personal — two people can share a birthdate, but are unlikely to share an identical name. The single digit on the line marks the two ages where an experience occurs; the number in the center of the square determines the younger-age experience, and the number on the side of the triangle determines the older-age experience. The older-age experience always draws on the triangle (birthdate) numbers, since the material holds that the older you are, the more you are governed by your Life Lesson Number — and the better equipped you are to meet its lessons.

Notes:
- Blueprint ages are shown as age ranges: 0–9, 9–18, …, 72–81.
- Past age 81 a second youth square begins, where each line covers 21 years instead of 9 — it appears above once it applies to you.
- Major process uses square-center, triangle-side, and triangle-center numbers.
- Minor process uses the line's letter-number plus the square-center and triangle-side numbers.
- The 9 lines are filled letter-by-letter from your first name, then your middle name. If there's still room, the sequence starts over from the beginning of your first name and continues. If your first name alone is 9 letters or longer, it fills every line by itself and your middle name won't appear on the diagram. (The last name is left out unless you switch it on in Advanced options.)
