DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] What distinguishes embodiments disclosed herein from the modern use of astrology is the added layer of interpretation that is more specific and intimate for the individual and/or the astrologer. In the practice of acupuncture, a cold is not just a cold; the practitioner must assess the patient on an individual pathological level to determine the type of cold that is specific to that individual in order to provide an effective treatment. Treating one patient's cold the same as another can have adverse effects. In this same way, some embodiments embed the overall themes of the planets, signs, and houses into the intimate life of the individual. No longer will planetary symbols such as Mercury just represent communication for the individual. Planetary symbols and themes will also represent the real life person, place, place, thing, event, character, etc., on which the individual imposes these planetary symbols and associated themes. This provides a deeper analysis of the individual's life where specifics can be identified for actions or solutions.

[0024] According to some embodiments, astrology is used much like the ancients used itas a means of creating tangible solutions to problems. Various fields of astrology are evolving that aim to tackle evolutionary questions and problems. In some embodiments, the traditional natal chart is used to reconstruct new charting systems that are aligned with the problem one aims to solve in a new and more intimate way as seen in the first embodiment. It correlates people, places, things, events in life (real or fictional that are specific to the individual), to planetary archetypes, signs and houses in a natal or other chart and creates tangible products including, without limitation, novels, documentaries, health plans, psychological analyses, business plans, life plans, marketing plans, musical compositions, etc.

[0025] According to some embodiments, a writing tool for a novel, story, screenplay, documentary, memoir, play, or other written product is provided. A writer enters the date, time, and place of birth of the work, a character, place, object or event and creates a traditional natal chart. A circular natal chart is used as an example, but any other astrological charting systems may be used to create a natal chart including Vedic astrology as well as various housing system used such as Equal Houses, Campanus, Regiomontanus, Natural, Whole Sign, Porphyry, Koch, Placidus, etc. The chart in FIG. 23 shows the planets and signs as a snapshot in the natal chart at the time of birth of the individual, character, event, object, business, etc. The inner lines indicate the aspects or angle of each planet in relation to each other.

[0026] Questions for the planetary grid are specific to the industry or product that a solution is being sought. Archetypal questions are created that correlate to and are specific to the type of answers the writer needs, for example, questions should be about characters. TABLE 1, below, shows an example planetary archetype grid according to some embodiments.

[0027] The writer then answers archetypal questions that correspond to celestial locations (e.g., celestial bodies such as astrological planets, and asteroids, nodes and/or the like). TABLE 2, below, shows characters that have been filled in a planetary archetype grid according to some embodiments. This connects characters to planetary archetypes, signs and houses. The C characters are representative of character, people, projects, places things, event, names etc. that users have created for their product.

[0028] The characters, places, things or events take the place of the planets, houses and signs in the new map. In the natal chart, the character of C1 will take the place of the Sun, Leo, and the 5.sup.th house. This is repeated with all celestial bodies and their corresponding character, person, thing, etc. A character that is designated to a planet is also designated to the planet's natural house and sign in the new astrological chart system, referred to herein as physical astrology. TABLE 3, below, shows a planetary legend for a physical astrology story map according to some embodiments.

TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 Planets Character Sun/Generator C1 Leo 5.sup.th house Moon/Incandescent C2 Depths Cancer 4.sup.th house Mercury/Technician of Logic Gemini character -C3 Gemini and Virgo C4 3.sup.rd and 6.sup.th Venus/Elemental Playground C5 Taurus and Libra C6 2.sup.nd and 7.sup.th house Earth/Part of Fortune C7 C8 Mars/Soldier's Quest C9 Aries 1.sup.st house Jupiter/Benefactor's C10 Crusade Sagittarius 9.sup.th house Saturn/The Wish Maker C11 Capricorn 10.sup.th house Uranus/Defiant Spirit C12 Aquarius 11.sup.th house C13 Neptune/Collective Fountain Pisces 12.sup.th house Pluto/Assassin of Decay C14 Scorpio 8.sup.th house Eris/Integration of Being C15 Should also be a character that represents a known planet because they do not rule a house Chiron/Exposed Loci C16 Should also be a character that represents a known planet because they do not rule a house North Node/Soul's C17 Passage Should also be a character that represents a known planet because they do not rule a house South C18 Node/Relinquished Solace Should also be a character that represents a known planet because they do not rule a house Other C19, C20, etc. Celestial bodies and Should also be a character Asteroids that will be hidden that represents a known unless the writer decides it is planet because they do not needed in their story rule a house

[0029] In fictional writing, a W storyboarding map structure is often used to create an outline as seen in FIG. 24. The map has five points (circles) that are drawn at major turning points of the story. The upper circles/markers on the W map denote area where the three-act rule of story writing intersects. The lower circles on the W map denote major turning points in the story (A). The first circle is the beginning of Act I, the triggering event that begins the story and an arrow is drawn leading down to the second circle indicating the setup of the problem(s) in the fictional story (B). The second circle on the map indicates the first trigger that forces the character to invest in the resolution of problem. This moment has an arrow leading towards the third circle and the intersection of Act II (C). The third circle depicts the turning of the story and leads downward on the W storyboard map to the fourth circle. This indicates a deepening and worsening of the problem that leads to the fourth circle (D). The fourth circle begins at the lowest point of the story and has an arrow moving upward on the W map towards the 5.sup.th and final circle. It shows the manner in which the problem is resolved and the end of the third Act (E).

[0030] The natal chart is then transposed onto the W or other storyboarding map. Other writing methods can be transposed onto the map to create tools for various genres in fiction and nonfiction writing.

[0031] The cusps of each house are delineated on the W story boarding map beginning from ascendant. The 12.sup.th house of the astrological chart takes position immediately following the first circle (ascendant) on the W storyboard map.

[0032] The first circle of the W map begins on the ascendant in the east on an astrological chart. This is the beginning of the novel. The sign and its ruler on the ascendant indicate the character that is involved in the activating event of the novel. Any means of astrological interpretation and knowledge applies in the process of analysis.

[0033] Moving along the path of the sun as seen in FIGS. 25-27. The astrological chart and the W storyboard map are transposed on each other beginning with the line of the ascendant then house 12. Houses 11, 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 are placed along the delineated W storyboard map respectively. Houses 10, 7, 4 and 1 fill the position of the circles (literal turning points on the W storyboard map as well as the astrological chart of the work and characters).

[0034] Each house on the new Planetary Write story map (PW-SM) represents a section or a chapter of the work. Each house also corresponds to a planet and a planetary body. Because there are 12 houses in the astrological chart indicating the complete cycle of the day and the year, there are 12 sections or chapter in the work total. A section is created based on the authors/creator's needs. There can be multiple chapters within a section or simply twelve chapters total but each house in an astrological chart does represent each section or chapter on the PW-SM.

[0035] Planets in signs found in each house of the astrological chart are also placed in their corresponding section on the PW story map. Where there are no planets, signs remain filling the entire storyboard with either a sign or a planet in a sign.

[0036] Planets in a sign in a house on the [invented PW story map are replaced by the character, place, thing or event they correlate to indicated in FIG. 27. The new map/chart shows a character (planet) performing an act on or with another character (sign) in or through the (house), a third character that has been delineated on the PW story map. The new PW story map can be read on multiple levels of awareness; through the astrological meaning and the meaning in the interaction between characters, place and things. Transits and aspects of planets in houses traveling through the map add yet another level to the understanding of the work (see, e.g., FIG. 27). In astrology, a transit is the continuous motion of the heavenly bodies around the astrological chart. Aspects are drawn between planets in signs (character relationships) within each chapter that indicate chapter-to-chapter connections between planets and signs (characters). Aspects are how the planets relate and interrelate with each other.

[0037] Similar charts are created for every character involved in the story by imputing the birth data to obtain their own unique chart. The archetypal data first provided for the novel is used to populate the chart of every new character, place, event or things related to the specific novel. The unique chart of the individual characters denotes that character's point of view in the story or work. New archetypal questions are created and answered by the author/writer when it has to do with development of the character's life or development of the world that is specific to the character or world.

[0038] According to some embodiments, a unique template, map, chart, and/or other tool may be created to aid specific industries and lifestyles using various software, hardware, or other technologies. For example, embodiments may be utilized in business, science/research, psychology, marketing, sales, finance and accounting, health/medicine/acupuncture and alternative medicine, every industry and professions, development of artificial intelligence, used to build new technology. Embodiments may be executed manually or through all current and future technologies such as the creation of web integrated software and applications, computer compatible software and applications, applications for user interface such as smart phones, notebooks, iPads, Google glass and all other personal computing technologies.

Business, Marketing, Sales and Event Planning

[0039] To assist businesses, a business can create a traditional natal chart for the inception of the business, or a specific project, using the birth data, i.e., birth date, time and place of birth, of an event.

[0040] Archetypal questions are created that correspond to the astrological planets, nodes and asteroids and other celestial bodies.

[0041] For use with business or professional endeavors, questions and answers can be about company infrastructure, organizational structure, finance, employee, managers, vendors, administrators, healthcare, projects, leadership, events and all aspect of the business and company projects.

[0042] Templates and maps are created to identify the solutions needed for the completion of the project or business goals. The new astrological templates/maps are based on already used industry standards used to solve problems. Businesses can determine the interconnection and interrelations of their businesses. Gain a solid understanding of their strengths and weakness and how to bring balance to the business entity. Embodiments may provide solutions to pressing problems that plague the business such as the ability to identify specific areas that is unique to the business.

Science and Research

[0043] Create a traditional birth/natal chart for the inception of the research or scientific project using birth date, time and place of birth.

Answer archetypal questions that correspond to the astrological planets, nodes and asteroids and other celestial bodies.

[0045] For use with research protocol answers goals, design, methodology safety, data analysis, quality assurance, outcome, problems and risks anticipated, project management, ethical considerations, approvals, sample size, testing and all others requirements of research protocol, problem to be solved, finance, reception of work, investigator, participant, drug used, drug creation and performance and specific details about the research depending on the solution required.

[0046] Templates and maps are created to the solutions needed for the completion of the research. Embodiments may allow the researcher to determine the various components of the research and how it can be successfully managed. The tool can assist the researcher in determining the best avenue to accomplish their research goals as well as possibly find answers.

Those skilled in the art will recognize, or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific inventive embodiments described herein. It is, therefore, to be understood that the foregoing embodiments are presented by way of example only and that, within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereto, inventive embodiments may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described and claimed. Inventive embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to each individual feature, system, article, material, kit, and/or method described herein. In addition, any combination of two or more such features, systems, articles, materials, kits, and/or methods, if such features, systems, articles, materials, kits, and/or methods are not mutually inconsistent, is included within the inventive scope of the present disclosure.

[0136] The above-described embodiments can be implemented in any of numerous ways. For example, the subject matter described herein can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structural means disclosed in this specification and structural equivalents thereof, or in combinations of them. The subject matter described herein can be implemented as one or more computer program products, such as one or more computer programs tangibly embodied in an information carrier (e.g., in a machine readable storage device), or embodied in a propagated signal, for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus (e.g., a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple computers). A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, or code) can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data, in a single file dedicated to the program in question, or in multiple coordinated files (e.g., files that store one or more modules, sub programs, or portions of code). A computer program can be deployed to be executed on one computer or on multiple computers at one site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communication network.

[0137] Further, it should be appreciated that a computer may be embodied in any of a number of forms, such as a rack-mounted computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer. Additionally, a computer may be embedded in a device not generally regarded as a computer but with suitable processing capabilities, including a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a smart phone, or any other suitable portable or fixed electronic device.

[0138] Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processor of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for executing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto optical disks, or optical disks. Information carriers suitable for embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of nonvolatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, (e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices); magnetic disks, (e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks); magneto optical disks; and optical disks (e.g., CD and DVD disks). The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, special purpose logic circuitry.

[0139] Also, a computer may have one or more input and output devices. These devices can be used, among other things, to present a user interface (e.g., graphical user interface). To provide for interaction with a user, the subject matter described herein can be implemented on a computer having a display device (e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor, LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor, or printer) for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and/or a pointing device (e.g., a mouse, touch pad, trackball, or touch screen), by which the user can provide input to the computer. As another example, a computer may receive input information through speech recognition or in other audible format. Other kinds of devices can be used to provide for interaction with a user as well. For example, feedback provided to the user can be any form of sensory feedback, (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback), and input from the user can be received in any form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.

[0140] The subject matter described herein can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back end component (e.g., a data server), a middleware component (e.g., an application server), or a front end component (e.g., a client computer having a graphical user interface or a web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of the subject matter described herein), or any combination of such back end, middleware, and front end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital data communication, e.g., a communication network. Examples of communication networks include a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN), such as an enterprise network, an intelligent network (IN), or the Internet. Such networks may be based on any suitable technology and may operate according to any suitable protocol and may include wireless networks, wired networks, or fiber optic networks.

[0141] The processes and logic flows described in this specification, including the method steps of the subject matter described herein, can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions of the subject matter described herein by operating on input data and generating output. The various methods or processes outlined herein may be coded as software that is executable on one or more processors that employ any one of a variety of operating systems or platforms. Additionally, such software may be written using any of a number of suitable programming languages and/or programming or scripting tools, and also may be compiled as executable machine language code or intermediate code that is executed on a framework or virtual machine. The processes and logic flows can also be performed by, and apparatus of the subject matter described herein can be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit).

[0142] Also, various inventive concepts may be embodied as one or more methods, of which an example has been provided. The acts performed as part of the method may be ordered in any suitable way. Accordingly, embodiments may be constructed in which acts are performed in an order different than illustrated, which may include performing some acts simultaneously, even though shown as sequential acts in illustrative embodiments.

[0143] All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0144] All definitions, as defined and used herein, should be understood to control over dictionary definitions, definitions in documents incorporated by reference, and/or ordinary meanings of the defined terms.

[0145] The indefinite articles a and an, as used herein in the specification and in the claims, unless clearly indicated to the contrary, should be understood to mean at least one.

[0146] The phrase and/or, as used herein in the specification and in the claims, should be understood to mean either or both of the elements so conjoined, i.e., elements that are conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases. Multiple elements listed with and/or should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., one or more of the elements so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified by the and/or clause, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to A and/or B, when used in conjunction with open-ended language such as comprising can refer, in one embodiment, to A only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B only (optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B (optionally including other elements); etc.

[0147] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, or should be understood to have the same meaning as and/or as defined above. For example, when separating items in a list, or or and/or shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the inclusion of at least one, but also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and, optionally, additional unlisted items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as only one of or exactly one of, or, when used in the claims, consisting of will refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of a number or list of elements. In general, the term or as used herein shall only be interpreted as indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e. one or the other but not both) when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as either, one of only one of or exactly one of Consisting essentially of, when used in the claims, shall have its ordinary meaning as used in the field of patent law.

[0148] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, the phrase at least one, in reference to a list of one or more elements, should be understood to mean at least one element selected from any one or more of the elements in the list of elements, but not necessarily including at least one of each and every element specifically listed within the list of elements and not excluding any combinations of elements in the list of elements. This definition also allows that elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically identified within the list of elements to which the phrase at least one refers, whether related or unrelated to those elements specifically identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, at least one of A and B (or, equivalently, at least one of A or B, or, equivalently at least one of A and/or B) can refer, in one embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, with no B present (and optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, B, with no A present (and optionally including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, and at least one, optionally including more than one, B (and optionally including other elements); etc.

[0149] In the claims, as well as in the specification above, all transitional phrases such as comprising, including, carrying, having, containing, involving, holding, composed of, and the like are to be understood to be open-ended, i.e., to mean including but not limited to. Only the transitional phrases consisting of and consisting essentially of shall be closed or semi-closed transitional phrases, respectively, as set forth in the United States Patent Office Manual of Patent Examining Procedures, Section 2111.03.
