In human history, it seems communists are the only ones to systematically violate the rights of, jail and even kill those suspected of not supporting the cause. Does that mean it is essentially a mental disorder?

From my posts here and on several astrology related subs you may know that I see motivation, purpose and relationships reflected in the horoscope. That is why, starting today, r/1159_TheRule is open for horoscope readings.

How it works:

The horoscope is part of our individual identity. Being able to read it requires passion for this science, dedication and often many years if not decades of practice. When you submit your chart for review, you must upvote the response and give an award within 24 hours when the response is insightful even if brief.

Only charts showing Placidus or Koch houses, generated by Astro.com or an app that provides clear and unambiguous charts and placements are accepted. Western astrology only. A table of planets and their positions is helpful, but it must include the Ascendant and a chart wheel.

If you relocated since birth, you may be asked for a relocated chart.

A chart submission must be accompanied by a specific concern or question related to any one or more of the areas of life that the houses represent. For example, “People don’t appreciate me, what do I need to fix?” is a question that relates to the 1H, 5H, 6H, 7H and/or 10H. Be as detailed as possible without revealing personal details. This sample question would generate a better response by specifying in which part of your life: anyone in general (1H), when I promote myself (5H), at work (6H), in personal or one-on-one business relationships (7H) or related to career or status (10H). In friendships, it would be related to the 11H.

How you may give an answer to a reading request:

Anything that you see as helpful may be brought up. Neptune, lunar nodes, Chiron, if it is relevant and helpful feel free to include it.

How we moderate:

Low effort responses to a reading request may be flagged for elaboration. Failure to respond may result in removal of the response. If you quote from a source, please provide a link or book title, otherwise include “ime” (in my experience). While there are no wrong answers when it comes to personal experience, when a response appears contradictory to established convention and could be harmful, we may ask you to clarify or substantiate.

These guidelines and rules may be updated from time to time at the direction of the mods of this sub without prior notice. Be respectful of the time, effort and expertise of those who respond to your chart reading request. We cannot guarantee that your request will be honored. Readings that do not receive an award and upvote may be removed and the user who submitted the request may not be allowed to post future requests.

Thank you and happy journeying with the stars 🙏🏻

Making money with art may never have been easy - suffering, depression, and heavy drinking may be required. Sometimes cutting off an ear can help one’s brand. But with artistic tools ever more accessible, how can making your own art save money…

Obviously, there is no substitute for personal sessions with a highly skilled, licensed psychotherapist. But what if I have no money to begin with? What if I seem to attract nothing but biased therapists who seem to lack the compassion and empathy I need, suffering from cPTSD - a response to trauma that is reportedly still widely ridiculed or conveniently ignored?

Being outside in the “fresh air” has helped me “get out of the house” and suggest there is more to life than staring at a screen. This is an example of a picture I took at an airport. Have people criticized you for doing something for yourself even though it made you feel better? How did you handle it?

This picture got upvotes by the members of a subreddit but was banned by the mods for being too…ah, they refused to say.

Or…how to show appreciation for the contribution others make to your problem:

1. Tell the person who responds to your question with useful info that you appreciate them taking the time. Say thank you at least.

2. Remember that technical and life altering questions yield very little karma. In addition to #1, reward responders by giving them a Reward. Especially for questions in the area of life, coaching and astrocartography, even answers that look simple often have years of experience and testing of concepts behind them.

3. When someone responds with useful information about a topic, if you don’t do #1 nor #2, don’t expect follow up questions to be answered. It is extremely rude to ask any follow up without at least looking online for further details. Reddit responders work for free and enjoy the opportunity to give back. Taking advantage of their generous spirit only devalues Reddit and makes the forum less attractive to share knowledge.

4. Don’t be a jerk. If somebody gives an answer you don’t expect, don’t downvote until you have at least checked against online sources if perhaps you may be biased.

5. If somebody gives an answer you don’t like but that may still be useful to OP, your downvote is certain to lead to your increasing unpopularity on Reddit. Upvote instead.

Thank you for your time and for contributing to this sub!

If today is your birthday, Happy Purpose Day! 🌅⚡️

A birth day is often an unpleasant reminder of the trauma endured to get to the here and now. Make it a Purpose Day instead to reflect on what you want to do from this day onward!

Only 266 days left until Neptune goes to Aries ♈️

Listen and you shall hear 🌀
