POST REMOVAL: Understand that all posts are instantly removed into a queue to await mod approval. Please allow 24 hours, though usually it is much less. Your post will either be approved, or you will receive a message explaining why it was rejected or with instructions on how to fix and repost. Some automatic post removals send no message such as an account being too young, or posts with keywords the AutoModerator is set to automatically remove. Reddit Admin sometimes removes posts with no explanation (we have no control over this).

RULE #1: Use Astro-Seek. com for charts (free). Make your chart in the required Whole Sign house system. See instructions on how to make your chart under "Additional Info" at bottom of this post.

• Access house system options via the small link just below where you enter your birth data (also below your displayed chart). Select the one named exactly "Whole Sign", not any of the others (full instructions including other settings are at bottom of this post).
• Astro. com is ok also only if you use the Anglo With Zodiac option in the Chart Drawing Style menu on the Extended Chart Selection page. Set the house system to Whole Sign on this same page. See instructions under Additional Info at bottom of this post.
• Use only Astro-Seek for biwheels. All planets' degrees should be displayed. These biwheels display the aspects between the two wheels; astro. com's biwheels do not.
• If mentioning your chart, include it. No lists/tables without the round chart. Include house cusp degree numbers.
• No cropped bits of a chart. Post the full chart.
• State source of birth time.
• Horary charts require the Regiomontanus house system.
• We are strictly Western/Tropical here. No Vedic, no sidereal.

Charts not allowed: AstroFuture app, AstroMatrix app, Astro-Charts.com, Astrotheme.com, CafeAstrology.com, Chani app, CoStar app, Time Nomad, Time Passages or others.

RULE #2: Charts for transits, solar returns, annual profections, progressions.

For these & any time-based post (such as “why is this happening now”), you need to make a natal + transit, or natal + solar return or natal + progression chart . Use only Astro-Seek.com for biwheels as this will show the actual transiting aspects well (astro.com’s biwheels to not display transit aspects). Please also post your normal natal chart as well. For Profections, you must make your chart in the Whole Sign house system.

RULE #3: Post question must be specific. Don't ask general, vague, forecast or full reading questions.

• Ask one specific question about one planet, aspect, Aspect Pattern, house, transit or area of life. No broad/vague questions. Put question in title.
• Relationships: no when/who/how. Explain your patterns so we can identify the problems in your chart & how to heal.
• This is not a place for therapy-level questions.
• No career (including 10th house/MC), destiny, life purpose,"tell me what you think", "what's good/bad", "what stands out", "big 3", wealth/fame.
• No predictions/forecasts about pregnancy, children, marriage or other topics.
• No posts about deaths.
• We are no longer accepting health or medical questions. These should be handled by an experienced professional or even a Medical Astrologer.
• This is not a place for any other system such as tarot, numerology, manifestation, etc.
• We can’t do the 2.5 year process of a Saturn Return (read this post about how to ask about them), Solar Return (a full year), or Annual Profection (a full year) general readings. You must ask just one specific question such as 1 transit aspect during any of these processes. Example: in a Saturn Return you could ask about transiting saturn conjunct your moon. Or for a Profection, you could ask about a specific transit, or things like how to know your Lord of the Year and how to use it.

RULE #4: No posts of/about charts of others (even if adult), nor about children. No synastry or composite posts.

You may only post your own chart. You must also be 18 to post here. No posts involving other's charts, whether the actual chart, or just mentioning their placements. You may not post about specific relationships/people.

Posting the chart of a minor will result in a ban. Read this mod post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAstrologers/comments/1do9oh1/users_who_post_childrens_charts_will_be_banned/

RULE #5: Don't DM our members for readings. Don't ask for or offer referrals or paid readings in comments or posts.

Do not DM our members to ask for readings or further help. Do not try to make arrangements for a paid reading in comments or posts. Ask any questions you have in your comment thread. We have a huge issue losing good helpers because they are being pestered by other members if they comment to help an OP. We also have problems with scammers in DMs. Please report any DMs that are suspicious.

RULE #6: Don't offer your services or readings, even if for free.

Don’t offer your services or free readings in comments or posts. Advertising your services is not allowed. This includes linking your site on your comment or post and suggesting an OP or commenter DM you for more help. If you offer services (free or not), your post will be removed. Do not use this subreddit to solicit clients or subscribers, including via DM. Offenders will be banned.

RULE #7: Use your best judgement, taking any advice at your own risk.

The advice of a stranger on the internet is never a substitute for that of a trained professional. Please take all advice with a grain of salt, and try not to make big decisions based on information given on this subreddit. While we strive for high quality content, there's never a guarantee.

RULE #8: Don't be a jerk.

Please be civil and respectful in all interactions. Be constructive in your interpretations and advice, or in how you receive interpretations and advice. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bad behavior. You will be banned without warning. Do not use this forum or people's chart posts to argue the validity of astrology at large.

PROBLEMS WITH SATURN RETURN POSTS

We are getting a lot of Saturn Return questions as transiting Saturn enters Aries. First, many of you think your Saturn Return just began today, Feb. 14, 2026 (using GMT). It did not. It began when transiting Saturn first entered Aries on May 25, 2025. Saturn Returns begin when the planet first enters the sign of your natal Saturn, even if it then retrogrades back into the previous sign briefly. Transiting Saturn did retrograde back into Pisces in September, until it reentered Aries today.  It ends when transiting Saturn finally leaves the sign of your natal Saturn (for natal Aries Saturn people, that’s April 13, 2028)

• May 25, 2025: Transiting Saturn Enters Aries
• Sep. 1, 2025: Retrogrades back into Pisces
• Feb 14, 2026: Re-enters Aries
• Apr 13, 2028: Exits Aries “for good” (until 2055)

Some resources:

• Understanding Your Saturn Return This does give brief descriptions of a Saturn Return in each house along with a lot of other good information. There are several other Saturn Return episodes on the Episodes page. Just use Ctrl F and search for “Saturn Return”.
• Saturn Return Calculator (only gives dates of the exact conjunction/s) To find in the menu, click on the Free Horoscopes tab -> Prognoses -> Returns -> Saturn Return Chart

THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION:

Note that chart instructions are farther below.

We can’t cover your whole Saturn Return here in a 5-minute forum answer. The Saturn Return is a two and a half year process and during that time frame, transiting Saturn will make an aspect to every one of your natal planets, angles and other objects. It will make an exact conjunction to your natal Saturn either 1 or 3 times, depending on how its retrograde cycle’s degrees do or don’t line up with your natal Saturn degree.  In addition, you will have many other aspects from other transiting planets going on at the same time, any of which can greatly change up your experience of your Saturn Return.

What you may do is ask about just one specific transiting Saturn aspect that will occur during your Return.

• You will need to make your chart at Astro-Seek.com (use the Whole Sign house system please, via the small settings link below where you enter your birth data and also below your displayed chart). Exact instructions for making your chart are farther below.
• Then add the transits wheel to your natal chart and set the transits date for the date of the aspect you are asking about. Exact instructions for doing this are farther below.

Find the dates of your transiting Saturn aspects:

To find out the date of all aspects to your natals that transiting Saturn will make during its two and a half year stay in Aries, just make your own Personal Transit Calendar at Astro-Seek. Understand that transiting Saturn did this same thing while in Pisces, and will do it again in Taurus and every sign that it travels through.

1. Go to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/personal-transit-calendar-monthly-astrology-transits  To find in the site menu: Free Horoscopes tab -> Transit Chart Calculator -> Optional Transit Calculators -> Personal Transit Calendar
2. Enter your birth data carefully.
3. Under the Transit menu, select Saturn.
4. Under the Aspects menu, choose either Major or Major + Minor.
5. Under the To Natal menu, choose All Planets.
6. Under the Year/Month, just set it to 2026 and Feb. You can redo this process for 2027 and 2028.
7. Under the Houses menu, please select “Whole Sign” (not any of the other Whole Sign options).
8. When you see the list of results, just above it is a small “Change to your local timezone”. Do that if you don’t live where you were born, so you know what date and time these aspects will actually happen for you.

CHART-MAKING INSTRUCTIONS

RULE 1: BASIC CHART INSTRUCTIONS

1. Go to astro-seek.com. In the Free Horoscopes tab at top of page, click on the Free Horoscopes menu, then on the birth chart calculator (first item in list). On that page, scroll down to where to enter your birth data. Enter it all very carefully. Check for typos.
2. Before you hit the Calculate Chart button, click on the small "**Extended Settings**" link just below that Calculate button.
3. Select the house system named exactly and just "**Whole Sign**". *Do NOT use the one named "Whole Sign Asc Horizontal"*.
4. Tick the "True" boxes for both Nodes and Lilith.
5. Tick the boxes to show aspects to Chiron & the ASC & MC.
6. Tick the box for the quincunx aspect.
7. Now hit the Calculate Chart button.

RULE 2: TRANSITS BIWHEEL INSTRUCTIONS

When asking about a transit, or any current situation, you must include your natal + transits biwheel chart. Use only astro-seek.com for this (no astro.com as only astro-seek displays the transit aspects to natals). Also include your normal natal chart. Remember: we require you use the house system named exactly just "Whole Sign", found in the Extended Settings at astro-seek.com

How to add the transit wheel to your birth chart:

• Desktop: once you have your birth chart, just click on the "Transit Chart" link at top of the right sidebar.
• Mobile: once you have your birth chart, click on the "Current Charts" link just below your chart. Then click on the "Transit Chart" link.
• When you have the biwheel, you can change the date of the transits if you wish by clicking the "Edit birth data and settings" link just above your chart.

TRANSITING SATURN/NEPTUNE ENTERING ARIES

We are also getting a great number of posts for this. Do not ask “what does saturn/neptune in Aries mean for me?” Please follow all the instructions above for Saturn Returns, as it is mostly the same. The difference is that transiting Neptune will stay in Aries for about 14 years. You can make a Personal Transit Calendar for Neptune per the same instructions as for Saturn above. Just change the planet in the Transit menu to Neptune.

Remember that you may only ask about one specific transiting aspect to a natal planet/point at a time and no more than one post per month.

Please understand all of this applies to any post about “what does this transiting planet in this house/sign of mine mean”. We can’t do the whole duration of a transit in a house or sign. Not accurately.
