NOSTI is short for Nosce te Ipsum - the Latin form of the famous Delphic Maxim “know yourself.”

NOSTI consists of an astrological wheel showing the 12 signs of the zodiac and a central vertical column with 10 extending arms and cups.

These contain crystals that represent the Sun, Moon and planets, and rotate around a stationary Earth crystal at the top.

Each crystal arm can be placed in any position on the wheel and in any of the signs. Rotating arrows at the base of the column also show the 12 houses of astrology, along with other items of astrological significance.

This 3D Natal Chart can, therefore, be set up for anyone. Alternatively, real-time planetary movements and transits can be modelled and imagined even when the planets are retrograde!

This is an investment, an ornament and an Astrology learning device!

TESTIMONIALS

  • "We've just taken delivery of our beautiful antique orrery. It's visually stunning and the instructions were easy to follow. We're delighted"

    Roy and Pat Horsman (UK)

  • "Having a tactile, 3D model of a chart brings astrology to life in a unique and educational way. You can visualise aspects, transits and eclipses as they occur and 'feel' how a planet's retrograde motion affects the tenor of the chart. The crystals make the planets and their energies palpable and you can remove them from their cups and meditate with them. Not only is NOSTI a great teaching tool for professional astrologers and astrology officiandos, it's a beautiful objet d'art and a great conversation piece that adds tangible, positive energy to a living space"
