Dear Allen, Using the Astral Chart can help you to better find out your strengths and weaknesses, and therefore can easily be used as an input for the Magic mirror. It is alos possibke to link the characters to the planets and not solely to the element. I personnally call it my "Hermetic mirror". For exemple, if somenone does not like to communicate & share with others or have low communication skills, it can be classified as an Air default or weakness in Bardon's magic mirror work, but it can also be linked to the Mercury sphere. I see the element as the origin of the character whereas the planetary sphere represents how they are manifested in the Universe. As explained in Bardon IIH, working with the element make it possible to transform the caracters. But, this work can also be done by attuning and refine the planetary influences within yourself.
