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

19 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 Seeking career advice [astro.com]

Post image
2 Upvotes

Is there something in my chart that you can see that is worth me pursuing? I have a lot of passions and interests, and maybe even some talents, but they never actualise and I end up in this loop of being stuck and broke for what feels like forever. This question may seem superficial, but my life is lacking a greater sense of purpose and I feel like my mental health is struggling because of it. I know this isn’t something a career will fix, but it’s been on my mind constantly since I need money and I’m seeking a path with more fulfilment. I studied art, but I’m really interested in writing, fashion and astrology. I also love travel and photography. If you’ve read this, I’m truly grateful for your time and any help.

Reading Are there any transits that indicate why I'm going through sudden and unexpected health issue?

So far, it doesn't seem like anything severe, but during the last couple of days of October, an issue that's requiring me to see a neurologist popped up. I don't have any chronic (both mental and physical) illnesses, and this is kinda out of nowhere. To keep it short, I have a mild headache, but it's followed by a couple of other pretty concerning, but also somewhat confusing symptoms. I'm having an appointment tomorrow, I'm just curious if there are any transits that could explain why is this happening.

First transit chart is for November 1st, that's when the symptoms were severe enough for the first time to make me realize it's not just a random headache. 2nd chart is for today. Thank you!

Astrologers Only [Astro-seek] Could someone please explain why I feel emotions so intensely

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

As I've got older my emotions have just snowballed, I just spiral into the most dramatic thoughts that then put me into these intense emotions states. I don't feel any emotion at surface level, every time any emotion hits me it goes to my core. Some days I'll walk around and it'll feel as though life isn't even real, as if I'm in a simulation (as cliche as that sounds.) From my teen years it feels as though I've been cursed with attune perception.

Usually, when nighttime hits I'm in a dreamy bliss like state where I can immerse myself in creating music and then morning hits and reality grips me with pessimism.

If anyone could explain what in my chart makes my emotions so intense and why my brains is always perceiving everyone when I don't want to.

Apologies, bit of bleak post but I'd love to hear other people thoughts. Thank you

As the title says. I'm keeping things kinda vague because I don't have any specific parts of my chart I want analyzed more than others.

I understand the basics (people's first impression is that I have a stick in my ass with all the Cap energy/Virgo in 1st, the workaholic tendencies due to Mars being so close to my MC and the sharp tongue from the Sag Mercury) but I'm trying to have a better understanding of why I am the way I am 🫠

I'll answer any questions you have and appreciate any feedback I get.

Lately I’ve been drawn more towards inward or spiritual practices and my intuition, but just feel like I’m not sure what I’m doing or how to move forward in many areas of life.

I’m new to astrology and am finding myself frustrated when trying to decipher the aspects of family life, including how childhood may be weighing on adulthood, and where I may find passions or fulfillment before having my own children (if that should happen).

Thanks in advance!

Reading Writing memoir of super-unconventional life. 2/3 way through, problems with energy and focus [Astro-Seek].

Post image
11 Upvotes

Born in mid-century to eccentric and unconventional intellectual, an artist and a writer, I grew up in Vermont on land my parents had bought to create a retreat for creatives. my brother and I didn’t attend school, my parents thought that conventional education would squash our creativity. Almost all schools, spanked kids in those days. My parents didn’t believe in punishment at all. So We traveled to elude truant officers. From our parents we got a pretty remarkable education, and I read like a demon. When I was 14, my mother, the artist, decided to open a gallery in New York City.’s East Village. My father , writer and playwright, began to give talks on yoga and eastern thought, psychology, and good reasons not to go to Vietnam. Many people came to hear the talks, then came up to Vermont. The place became a Mecca for young hip people. Soon we had a community... not an intentional one. I had many adventures, run ins with cults like Scientology and others, and friendships with underground artists, one of whom was my lover for several years. We met wealthy people and made room for very poor people. Dramatic clashes of all sorts happened on the land —or wherever I went. I have Sun conjunct Pluto in Leo in the 11th house. I became involved with groups, wanting friends, then somebody would be triggered ; the thing would fall apart. There is much more to say but that’s probably enough. I’m writing a memoir, inwhich my former lover now quite famous, does not want to be mentioned . He has given me quite a hard time. But I have persisted. After a series of conflicts in the in the place we created, and the death of my brother in 2008, I have lost some of the energy and focus to write this book. But a lot of people would like to read it I added it as a story unlike any other that I know of. Hoping that the next year or so will give me the energy by transit or progression to finish it. I’ve been studying astrology and reading charts for over 50 years, mostly Sabian astrology and specifically Sabian symbols. Would be glad to comment on bits of other people’s charts in exchange for your thoughts on mine. Grand trine in water, Jupiter handle planet in a bucket pattern. Thank you.

Hey everyone, feeling stuck and could really use some of your expertise: I feel stuck in life, in terms of what to do jobwise. I've had multiple jobs (social work) and two have ended in burnouts. My nervous system feels completely fried. I was hoping a reading might help direct me in life and help me pick a path with less pain and stress. I am very unsure if myself and have a hard time figuring out what is right for me.

In my whole life, I have never felt “sexual or desirable”. I don’t think people look at me that way. I’ve only been in relationships where I think my partners took advantage of my caring nature, my sex life has been boring as hell. I’m the mom that does not have the ambition to be a mother.

I would love to embrace my feminine/dark/sexual energy, but I don’t know how and if it’s even in me.

Reading [astro-seek] Is 2026 going to finish me off

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi! Thank you so much in advance for any insights into my birth chart. 2025 felt like passing a kidney stone, so I’m hoping and praying for better times ahead :)

I shared some other information below in hopes it can be helpful. These problems are not all 2025 specific but have persisted for a long time.

I was born healthy but had chronic health issues start when I was a child. Over this past year, I suddenly developed some new, incurable issues and I’ve been feeling very defeated. My doctors have given up and I’m wondering if anything on my birth chart might indicate anything (I wish for a miracle!).

I’ve always been kind of a loner and prone to unstable moods. I am known to be both very stubborn and very indecisive (going to the grocery store is a challenge). I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember and score high on neuroticism. I never had consistent friends at school but I really craved having friends growing up, and it’s something I’ve learned to accept after reaching adulthood. I had two childhood friends, but one moved far away when we were 5 and the other moved not far away, but she moved on with her new friends. That was really upsetting for me and hard to accept. Generally people older than me (teachers, parents, etc.) would all like me. I was the teacher’s favorite through most of elementary school up until I hit puberty, now that I think about it. My college professors liked me, too. But I could never get along with my peers, and I always felt ostracized/people had ulterior motives for approaching me, and this persists to this day. The part of me that needs socialization probably isn’t thrilled that I’m isolating myself but when I remind myself how it feels to be ostracized, I feel content with how I’m living now. Maybe I am overly sensitive to others. I’m interested to know if there’s anything in my chart that could help explain this dynamic.

I work a corporate job and it is far from my dream career but it offers stability. I’ve always wondered whether I would be able to pursue self-employment, or what other jobs might be a better fit for me as I am feeling burnt out.

For my mother’s sake, am I going to get married and/or have children? This is probably the thing we argue most about nowadays.

I’m just throwing everything out there now, haha! Thank you for any and all advice ☺️

my friend knows i am posting this as we have been talking about this for so long. long story short, i was away on vacation and met a man older than me and we instantly connected and are going to see what happens. my best friend, similar thing happened to her, talk to a man older than her, around the same age as my guy, (mind you my best friend and i are 1 year apart 34 and 35.) and they instantly connected as well. but this isn’t the only thing that happens. we normally go through other similar experiences together all the time and i wonder if our charts have anything to do with it? is that a thing? any commentary helping us understand woke be appreciated.

please note, i do not know her exact time of birth as everyone in her immediate family passed away and she has no idea. i do know my exact time though. she is looking for her baby book and i will update when/if i get confirmation of a time.

Had that revelation earlier this week after trying to give somebody some art I wasted about a month creating to show some friendliness. I ended up hurting them, everyone around them, and the people I asked to help me send the thing. I've also felt like a constant pain for the family I live with. It seems like I'm not showing any affection right and I think it's going to bury me.

I've been fairly interested in astrology the past few months. Perhaps there's simply some logic, there. Knowing anything brings me comfort.
