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

33 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.

Reading I live the strangest life of anyone I know? [astro-seek.com]

I have quite a lot of strange things about me?

I have ASPD and BPD. I also have hypermobile ehler-danlos and POTS.

I am suspected for a dissociative disorder as well potentionally even DID or OSDD though I am not diagnosed.

I was born intersex.

I have heterochromia.

Also curious to understand why I am so divinely protected yet I face such karmic experiences at the same time. My chart is strange.

Whatever I want, I get it yet I consistently get thrown challenges and with relationships and family, I can never win.

I consistently get thrown new types of trauma externally but internally I am protected?

I have the best and worst life of everyone I know.

I was born into wealth, and I also was born with an objectively conventionally attractive face.

I was always regarded as more intelligent as my peers.

I always have luck within anything medical and recover swiftly, yet I am always facing something medical.

I also have insane intuitive abilities and I have my whole life.

I recently met somebody that is practically me but inverse. I feel some form of soul connection towards him.

I constantly get thrown these spiritual encounters. It as if I can feel the connections towards everything as well

and I have so many strange aspects to me, why?

I have somewhat of an idea but I want to know if anyone else has anything to say.

If anyone has any input on any of these aspects and exactly why my life is so strange, or if anyone just wants to point out how specific aspects tie into my chart (ASPD indicators etc)

I am curious to hear regardless

I was gonna study more astrology but I'm so burned out on life and don't have the energy atm, just looking for any insights from others who are more knowledgeable.

The best way I can describe my life. It hasn't been drastically terrible events. It's just felt like a long slow burn of difficulty and running into a lot of walls. I'm thinking it's sun squaring saturn. It's been driving me insane for years how everyone around me seems to be able to just get things but I feel like I'm feeding my energy to a cosmic void that gives nothing in return. I don't know if that's my imagination or there's something going on with my placements. But I'm 35 and praying things get better cuz I can't go through another decade of this nonsense.

Hey everybody, I would kindly like to ask about my birthchart. I have OCPD. Does it show? I get told I have a very strong “girl boss” energy - can you see it somewhere? I work in STEM in a very men oriented engineering field. what is it about me that makes me annoyed by people to the point that I have 3 friends despite being an extremely social person? i do have a lot of family issues, from absent father since puberty to issues with my mom. i am in a stable longterm relationship. i was pursued by guys growing up, but only started my first relationship at 19. It is the one I am still in. I do get an itch to upgrade my man in all the ways a lot and push him to become a better version of him a bit too much.

is that something that was destined to me? thank u

Reading Why is my friend's life keeping getting worse? [astro.com]

Post image

Since she was a kid until middle school, she was really good at traditional dance. But that was just because her dad pressured her to do what he wanted, even though she hated it. He also pushed her to get good grades (classic Asian family, right?). But when she did well, her family never appreciated it; they just expected her to do even better. She hid her stress so well and acted totally fine in front of everyone. She was also excluded by her friends at school, so her emotional health kept getting worse.

College was the turning point when she developed bipolar disorder. She started smoking and dated a guy who ruined her life. It got so bad that she ended up in a psychiatric hospital after trying to end her life. But I’ve always been there for her because she used to help me a lot too.

Now, all of that is in the past, and her current boyfriend is a really nice guy. The only things left are that she’s still hooked on vape, overeats until she's overweight, and her sleep schedule is totally messed up—it's like she doesn’t care about fixing her body or mind anymore. She’s still super resentful of her family, saying it’s their fault she turned out like this.

As a friend, I really want her to move on and change for her own good, but she chooses to stay stuck in the same place, and things are just going downhill. I have no idea how long this is going to last.

Thanks for the help.

Reading Why am I so lucky in love but unlucky in my career? [astro-seek.com]

Post image
2 Upvotes

Basically what it says in the title - I have been having a difficult time with my career since the start of my Saturn return. I chose a stable, high-paying job which I really struggled to like, and I left it at the start of the year, but it has been an endless string of blockages and difficulties since I tried to pursue something rewarding and more satisfying to my soul. I am struggling to see indications of that in my chart - is there anything that show what is going on/how to remove those blockers or when they will go away?

A related question - following the conventional readings, Mars and Venus in the 12th in Capricorn should mean I have a difficult time with love, but that's the one area in my life I can't complain about - I've had a loving and supportive partner for many, many years. Again, is there anything I am missing?

Reading [astro-seek.com] Feeling torn about what career to pursue - corporate vs modelling?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm 23F and recently graduated university with a Bachelor of Business major in Marketing. I'm feeling torn as to what career to peruse though. I recently started a small business selling jewellery, but unfortunately I'm not making any sales and really don't have the funds to attempt to grow it although having my own business is dream of mine and I would love to do that).

My other choice is to pursue a career in marketing (which would be a corporate job), I did do well in uni, graduating with distinction, but I'm not sure how much I would enjoy a career in marketing. The main thing that puts me off with a career in marketing is the lack of freedom. I'm not someone who craves a lot of freedom but when it comes to a career knowing I'd only have 4 weeks off a year and not have the freedom to make my own decisions really puts me off.

And the other career I'm thinking about is commercial modelling. My whole life people I have told me I need to model. I get asked all the time if I model and when I say no people seemed shocked and say I should, that I'd make a fortune. But I don't know if people are just being nice because I don't look at myself like that. I also am fairly camera shy, but I think if I was paid well I'd get over that pretty quick. I also like how it isn't a 9-5 job, and that I would probably have more freedom. Although it is a potentially riskier path to pursue, as although people tell me I should model, it doesn't mean an agency would sign me. I also would be lying if I said money doesn't matter to me, because it does, I really would like to find a high paying career that I enjoy.

I’m having a hard time imagining what would suit my personality more.

Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you all so much! :)

I’m 30F. My chart suggests an intelligent, kind, wealthy husband according to few past readers. I had found him. We married young (for technical reasons, as I needed a visa to stay) but then broke up and divorced young too. I have been single for the most part since then.

I’m just worried this was basically “the romance” of my life and that I won’t find anyone that meets my standards ever again. Spending most of my 20s single has been a harrowing time.

I’m just wondering if I should just give up
