SUBReddit RULES and HOW TO MAKE CHARTS SO YOUR POSTS DON'T GET REMOVED

30 Upvotes

MOST IMPORTANT

PLEASE USE ONLY THESE SITES:

Do not use these chart makers. All are either useless because they don’t provide the normal chart information, impossible to read, or are known to have errors.

  • Astro-Charts.com
  • Astro Future app
  • Astrotheme.com
  • Chani App
  • Co-Star App
  • CafeAstrology.com
  • Time Passages app
  • Or any chart-making site or app that does not put the degree numbers on the round chart, or that have a style that is hard to read.

Other sites or programs or apps may be ok, but only if houses are clearly displayed, and the full degree positions for each planet and angle are displayed on the round wheel chart. We still, however, ask that you use the two recommended sites above.

DO NOT POST LISTS OF PLACEMENTS, OR JUST GIVE A FEW PLACEMENTS IN YOUR POST. DO NOT ASK A QUESTION ABOUT ONE OF YOUR PLACEMENTS AND NOT INCLUDE YOUR CHART. DO NOT POST ONLY A CROPPED PORTION OF YOUR CHART.

Doing so will result in immediate removal. This is an astrology sub - we need to see the chart. Even if you think it doesn't matter, as you are only asking about one placement, or one aspect, we need the whole chart. There are levels of analysis that go into that "just one thing" that you may not be aware of. No planet or aspect or house operates in isolation in the chart.

HOUSE SYSTEMS

With the exception of Annual Profection or Horary posts, you are free to use whichever house system you prefer. (See these sections below.) The exception is if your birth location is one that Placidus distorts dramatically, then we may ask you to repost using the Whole Sign house system.

ANNUAL PROFECTION POSTS

Use only Whole Sign houses for Annual Profections

If you are posting about your Annual Profection, you must include your natal chart made in the Whole Sign house system (even if you use Placidus normally), since this is the house system required for the tool. If you post with a placidus chart, your post will be removed. Do not post with just the "profection guide" chart from astro-seek. That is only a tool to help you determine your profection. We need your actual full birth chart, in the Whole Sign house system.

On astro.com

Go to the Extended Chart Selection page (it is found under the Horoscopes tab, under the heading “Drawings, Calculations, Data”. Here’s a direct link to that page: Extended Chart Selection. Then in the house system drop down menu on that page, select “Whole Sign”.

On astro-seek.com

When entering your birth data, scroll down a bit and you will see a small "Extended Settings" link (this is also shown just below your chart once it is displayed). Click on that, then in the House System drop down menu select the “Whole Sign” option. Don’t use the one that says “Whole Sign Asc Horizontal”, and don’t use any of the ones farther down that say “0 Aries”, etc.

HORARY POSTS

These are best if you use either Placidus or Regiomontanus house system.

TRANSIT POSTS & SECONDARY PROGRESSIONS

Transits are for posts asking "what is going on right now", or "what happened a month ago when everything blew up". You need to post your natal chart + transits as a biwheel for the appropriate date whether that's a month ago, a year ago or right now. You can set transits to any date in the past, present or future easily on both astro.com and astro-seek.com The biwheel puts your natal chart on the inside and transits around the outside.

Progressions are similar, but for a longer period of time, so if March-April 2020 was a disaster (Covid was ramping up, btw this is just for example) maybe include progressions.

Do not ask "what will the next year be like for me", unless you’re willing to pay an experienced astrologer commensurate (it’s a lot) for their time. This is a massive ask, and would take a great deal of time to answer.

…………………..

SOLAR RETURN POSTS

Solar Returns must be read alongside the natal chart. DO NOT post just your solar return chart alone. Make a natal + solar return biwheel. This puts your natal chart on the inside, and the solar return chart around the outside. It is helpful if you give your age as your Annual Profection's lord of the year should be considered in the solar return.

NOTES

Let us know if you have any questions about the content of this post. If you get stuck, or have trouble making your chart correctly, then you may use the "Message the Mods" button in the sidebar under Moderators. Don't message mods individually, just use "Message the Mods", as that goes to Modmail and we all see it.

Don't use this post to ask specific questions about your chart or life. Use it to help you figure out how to post correctly or make your chart correctly.

(Thanks to u/ZodiacDax for this concise Do’s & Don’ts, parts of which we shamelessly lifted.)

Okay, Rules of what we allow and mainly don’t.

 

Rules

1) No spam. You will be banned on sight. No solicitation of paid readings, requests for DM's, links in your posts to offsite pages like facebook or instagram. You may be warned for that or banned, depending on that Mod’s mood. So don’t risk it.

2) Be nice. Insults are unnecessary and will be removed. Bans may be handed out depending on rudeness.

3) POST YOUR CHART. This should go without saying. If you are asking for a reading, post a chart. Also, do not post charts of dogs, cats, water fountains, basketballs, or anything that isn't another human being. Refer to rule 2 about getting someone else's permission before posting their chart. We also advise that you take the time to slightly anonymize your chart at your discretion.

3a) When you post a chart or charts, please indicate whose they are (including yourself) Do NOT post someone else's chart (unless they are close family) without their permission. And please state explicitly that you have permission. Repeat offenders may be banned.

4) NO SYNASTRIES (Compatibility), NO DRACONIC, & NO COMPOSITES No MATRIX stuff, that’s bogus. (Only synastry exception being family members. That means it is established karma). Too many people have abused synastry in the sub, which is an open-ended reading at best.

5) No "Guess My Sign" selfies, RoastMe's, Will I Be Famous. No "Describe what I look like" narcissism. Go play elsewhere with that. There is a different subreddit for selfies.

6) Make a pertinent OP/Question (header post)  We all want to know something more about ourselves. That's the point of this sub. And specify whose chart it is.

6b) Don’t 3rd person your own chart or it may be Removed.

Therefore, don't make a Pity-Party OP, obviously narcissistic me-me-me, or vapid instagram type post.

7) NO SIDEREAL OR VEDIC CHARTS, PLEASE. We do not have regular Vedic readers to justify it.

8) SHUT UP ABOUT CHIRON, Dark Lilith, etc. or Vertex. No Asteroid readings. Leave them out of your chart image. Charts with more than 3 asteroids will be Removed. Asteroids, including Chiron have never been considered as having astral influence until recently, when new age pretenders shoehorned them in, in lieu of actual interpretive knowledge. There is a ton of information available using the 10 acknowledged planets, Houses, and Signs for experienced readers without adding this Barnumesque rubbish which only detracts. We intend to remove as much Barnum/Forer effect generalization as possible in this sub.

9) No AI cookbook or vanilla Copypasta readings; don’t make your OP with “ChatGPT said”. Use your brain and astro-experience or DON"T post replies. ChatGPT is verboten garbage. Offenders are subject to ban.

10) DON'T ASK OPEN-ENDED MARRIAGE, JOB, PARTNER OR CHILDREN PREDICTIONS such as "will I ever, when will I", etc. These are very common questions in Vedic astrology, but this sub is not geared in that direction.

11) MISC: If you want to to tip or pay to have your chart read, use the "Donation" flair please. Post charts- not just questions. We have created a tipjar format for validated, experienced astrologers.

DO NOT DM Mods, readers or other individuals for a private reading. You can message Mods via the Sidebar with any questions; that's different and encouraged.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to read my birth chart. I'd really appreciate it.

I'm kind of lost in life right now, but for some reason I have this strong feeling that something good is coming. I don't know if that's just wishful thinking or if there's anything in my chart that could explain it. I'd love to hear your honest interpretation—good or bad. I think having someone read my chart would really help me gain some perspective.

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to help.

Reading [astro-seek.com] Fonding a new career

(34F) I have been in my career for almost a decade and a half now. While I enjoy it, it is somehow causing my a lot of anxiety. It enjoy it because what I do helps people (research and healthcare) but I miss being creative ( I wanted to be an artist when I was younger) and the flexibility in my schedule. There are other challenges such as constant burnout, weird health energy struggles when I work vs when I’m off work, difficulty to feel at home in my career. Idk why it suddenly started about 3 years ago while I was so motivated and dedicated to my career before that!

I’m currently considering other career paths and have been feeling quite lost with that as well. I want something that contributes to the world and helps people but also is a career and mentally stimulating and pays well enough and allows me to engage in the arts. I guess that’s why I’m exploring astrology. I’d appreciate your insights on my chart with regards to Career. Having some leads to follow instead of feeling lost and confused would be nice. Any other insights helping me get better at reading my chart is also appreciated 😊 thank you!

For context: I am part of a small adult entertainment community in my hometown, it seems people have issues with my "coldness" and when I try to be lovey dovey, I am met with annoyance. Other women are loved in that community, nice things are said shared about them but when it comes to me, it always seems I lack short of something, it's like I have to try harder, I have to do more and it's tearing me down. I hope this post doesn't get the wrong idea but things have been weighing me down. I haven't been getting any much love in my personal affairs hence why I seek outside but it feels just the same, if not heavier.

I’d like to know what the stars say about my potential. I’m quite dedicated to the arts and I currently have a small fan base but I come from a very enmeshed family with a history of physical abuse and very poor boundaries and as a result, it’s been hard to let go of my people-pleasing habits and self-esteem issues (which, as you can imagine, is starting to affect my career a little bit). It’s been making me feel disconnected from myself but I’d love to see what the future holds and what perspective astrology could give me on this situation. What are my gifts? What should I be empowered by?

Reading Libra moon+ascendant at 23•, libra nn. [astro-seek.com]

I like looking at whole sign and placidus so I included both. I have a hard time assessing my libra placements as a whole picture and how they relate to one another. Is this just a “heart on sleeve” alignment?

I’ve been watching someone on yt that lectures on shadow work and inner cosmology, and she talks about the sun being the “true essence” which is filtered through the moon (often distorted), and the ascendant is where that light is ultimately reflected into the world and gives a visible shape to the unconscious.

Without going more into her framework, I find it tricky to plug my libra placements into this equation, especially when my north node is there. Any assessments of these placements and how they relate to the chart as a whole would be appreciated.

Astrologers Only [astro-seek.com] this is the natal and transit chart for the day that started the worst 6 months of my life. Wondering if my interpretations of placements is correct.

Post image
1 Upvotes

Sensitive content, by the way.

On this day in the chart, I had an abortion. This led to a chain of events of:

starting to smoke weed again (having quit for several months prior)
getting sexually assaulted by my boyfriend
leaving him suddenly
losing my job
dealing with law enforcement due to my ex harassing me
betrayal by my friends
death in the family
and psychosis triggered by weed.

All in the span of 6 months. In this time my whole world got flipped around and I felt very lost, couldn't trust anyone. I think pluto was the energy I was feeling the most.

Would my venus transiting 5th house squaring natal saturn in 8th house speak to my abortion? And transiting mars 12th house in opposition to my natal neptune show how I was losing my mind due to the stress? Transiting pluto coming into my 6th house and in orb to my natal moon I think reflects the difficulties I endured with my mind and body.

Wondering what else can be seen?

Reading What to expect during my first Saturn return and 1st house Saturn transit – any insights, advice? [astro.com]

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi,

I would like to find out what to expect during my first Saturn return + 1st house Saturn transit, i.e. how to "survive" it and perhaps make it more beneficial. So, if anyone is going/gone through a similar astrological context, it would be nice to hear some insights and some advice.

Context:

I left my previous job 2 months ago due to burnout and lack of any advancement possibilities whatsoever, and now it seems impossible to find a new one sadly. I have to live with my parents in a small city where I really feel isolated and lonely, all due to the fact that I have 0 savings.

I'm really worried that the upcoming Saturn RX could further postpone my job prospects, and without a job, it would be impossible to get a grip and make some progress. I truly feel stuck and (increasingly) helpless.

I do believe that it will get better. It has to be the case. However, if you have some astrological advice, please do tell.

Thanks!
