How to Make Custom Astrology Dice (Astro Dice): A Guide for Brands

Astrology dice — often called astro dice — are one of the most popular and recognizable divination products. A single roll produces a compact astrological reading, which makes them intuitive for beginners and a natural companion to tarot and birth-chart work. They are also a strong custom product: the format is standardized enough to manufacture cleanly, yet flexible enough to brand. This guide covers what goes into a custom astro dice set and how to source one.

What a standard astro dice set contains

A classic astro dice set is three 12-sided dice (d12), each mapping to one layer of an astrological reading:

• Zodiac die — the twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces, engraved as their standard glyphs.
• Planet die — the ten classical bodies (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto), usually with two extra points such as the North Node and Chiron to fill all twelve faces.
• House die — the twelve astrological houses, numbered 1 through 12.

Rolled together, the three dice read as "planet in sign in house" — a self-contained prompt a reader can interpret. Because each die has exactly twelve faces, a d12 is the perfect shape, which keeps the set clean to design and engrave.

Choosing the stone

Astro dice are frequently made in a single signature stone to reinforce a brand look. Amethyst and clear quartz are popular for their association with intuition and clarity; obsidian gives a striking, high-contrast set; rose quartz suits a softer, wellness-oriented brand. You can also offer the same set across several stones as a collectible range. Because it is natural stone, every set will vary slightly — a feature to highlight, not hide.

Engraving and legibility

The glyphs matter more here than on a gaming die, because they must be read at a glance. Good astro dice use a clean, consistent glyph style and an ink fill that contrasts with the stone — gold or white on dark obsidian, a deeper tone on pale quartz. We engrave your chosen glyph style (or your own artwork) and ink-fill each face for durability. A small guide card that maps glyphs to meanings is a common, low-cost inclusion that improves the unboxing.

Packaging

• Drawstring pouch — the traditional, low-cost option; pairs well with a printed meaning card.
• Rigid or magnetic box with foam insert — a premium retail presentation that protects the stone in transit.
• Tin — durable and giftable, good for a wellness or gift-brand positioning.
• Printed sleeve or insert — carries your branding, glyph guide, and usage instructions.

MOQ, lead time, and sampling

Because astro dice use the same gemstone process as our other dice, sourcing works the same way: a low minimum order to start, better unit pricing as volume grows, and a paid sample to approve glyph style, stone, and ink before the full run. Tell us your preferred stone, glyph set, quantity, and packaging, and we will send unit pricing, MOQ tiers, and sampling cost within 24 hours.
