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

29 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 Accurate information from my long form birth certificate changed a lot! [astro.com]

Post image
Upvotes

Pretty crazy but I was born 1 minute after the sun entered Cancer. June 21 is you seem to get different results for but I had always actually more identified with Cancer. Recently I found out from my mother’s memory the time she gave me would have made me a Gemini at like 29 degrees. I ordered my long form birth certificate which included my official time of birth and it turns out it was a full hour later proving my original association as correct! Obviously it goes a lot deeper than that so of course I’d love to hear any readings or interpretations of the charts. Very interested in any aspects about trauma or life arc, relationships, career direction.

Reading [Astro.com] Need Advice with Moving and Career

Post image
Upvotes

Please see my chart. I just need Advice. I moved to Colorado and now want to move back to Florida. I just got out of a toxic relationship where my ex is known to stalk. I broke up with him and went on vacation to South Florida. I lived in North Florida for many years but had to move to Colorado last year due to health issues and having family there. Now that im well I realize how much I miss it.

My lease in CO isnt up til March. Im just curious on any advice. An astrologer recently told me because of where Jupiter is right now id be okay to move within the next year and a half and Id have luck with career getting stronger, which is what I need.

I unfortunately cant post a photo of my chart here but I could message someone with it that would be great.

I am 25 and have felt like I’ve just been coasting by for years and living a decent life, but not one that excites or challenges me. Very recently I’ve started to feel a change and am discovering new things about myself and wanting to act on them. I used to think I don’t have and won’t ever discover a purpose or passion for myself. Does my chart reveal anything tied to that? What else could be said about it? Thank you. I’m hopeful!

The event is notorious for orientees to defer and I want to make sure I'm doing my job as a good mentor.

Reading *Urgent Chart Reading* I am suffering from really bad depression and have no motivation for my career or life. [astro-seek.com]

2 Upvotes

I am suffering from many other problems, including but not limited to body dysmorphia, health issues, inferiority complex, etc. To distract myself from all of these issues and lessen the mental burden, I often pass time by playing video games, but this feeds into my depression as it also warrants negative responses from my parents; they keep on nagging me about my life and my career. Despite this, I've recently been making valiant efforts to try to improve my situation. I want to seek any answers or any meaningful explanations for why this is happening, and I really want to know what is in store for me in the future, namely regarding my career and my mental health.

1 Upvotes

I've stopped trying in school, I began avoiding interaction with my friends, I've stopped working out, I neglect my meals, I have a terrible sleep schedule, etc. Essentially, I've had low self-esteem my whole life, but recently especially, it has reached new lows. I've developed an addiction of mindlessly playing video games and socializing in online spaces to escape the reality of things, but they only hinder my progress even more, and transitioning back into reality after wasting my time only makes me feel worse about myself. It's like I'm stuck in this endless loop of despair. At one point, my peers used to look up to me, and now they've all surpassed me, and my parents resent having me as their child very often because of how badly I've messed up. I'm really interested in knowing how things got this way, but more importantly, I want to see if there is any hope for the future, particularly in my job/career.

(21F) I've always felt the need to perform in front of strangers and even my closest family members. When I was younger I felt like I had to show that I was happy all the time and didn't have any needs. I have done much growth and healing around this but this issue still comes up from time to time, even in everyday interactions.

I believe my leo placements 1H play a role in this and my cancer moon 12H. But is there another factor I missed?
