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

31 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 Attracting one-sided love [astro-seek.com]

Post image
• Upvotes

In lieu of a life summary, I would say I'm not a particularly liked person (much less understood) and yet I'm constantly confronted with others falling for me very quickly and very deeply. Certainly in a way that appears to be deep and even shocking and transformative for them (there's no telling what's just idealization at it's core but it isn't a shallow level of romanticism by any means). I'm somewhat desensitized at this point but also remain somewhat dumbfounded by the intense depth of emotionality people that are practically strangers seem to feel for me and while I try to navigate it delicately each time - this has been a major theme throughout my life and I feel compelled to more deeply analyze it at this stage. Looking at my chart, I can see what influences my isolation and 'dynamic eccentricity' so to speak but I don't know if anything really screams "love" or me being a significant object of adoration considering my constant pondering of ugliness and overall inability to really accept and adapt to the society that bothers me so much, so I'm seeking advice/an insightful explanation at this point so I can finally understand what's at the root of this phenomenon. I realize I have Venus in Taurus of course but it's badly aspected in my opinion. All the same, is that the placement responsible in spite of it's difficult conjunction; or is it not Venus and something else in my chart?

Reading [astro-seek.com] Planning on quitting my job and being in the small percentage of women to travel to every country in the world. Does my chart support this?

Post image
• Upvotes

As the post said, looking to achieve my goal of visiting every country in the world. American, 34yrs old. Have a good amount of savings and a fairly lucrative passive income, so I don't have a lot of worries there. Fully nomadic at the moment and mostly live in Airbnbs, hotels, and other people's homes via housesitting. I can never stay in one place for too long before I start getting the itch, so I feel like this is a good goal and next step for me. Thanks in advance!

Career focused question

Been told by an astrologer that I can achieve success by just “being myself”
But I mean technically isn’t the goal for everyone to be “themselves” lol

**I do know I have great potential but it always seems out of reach**.

My planets change in whole sign and placidus. I’m very familiar with my placidus chart but have been trying to educate myself on my whole sign chart. As I heard it’s best for overall life themes and when you’re older? (Currently going through a Saturn return but it’s in RX so it’ll come back )
I read many mixed things about a 2nd house stellium especially with Saturn in the mix.
Wealthy? Poor? I can never get a direct answer.

One thing that sticks out but don’t know what to make of it: Saturn 22 degrees Aries, Midheaven 22 degrees Sag, and lot of victory 22 degrees Leo.

Also in numerology, life path number is 22.

So a grand fire trine in the 2nd, 6th and 10th houses. With the “kill or be killed” degree that also matches life path number.

For reference I am in a creative field where money, recognition and fame is not that far fetched as a possibility especially now with social media, but still doesn’t come easily. (tattoo artist)

Please tell me anything about anything regarding this chart, but career stuff preferred I guess.

It feels like in the last couple of years I’ve had jobs where management treat me unfairly, I get the short end of the stick while others seem to get what they want. Or when I speak up I’m seen as the villain, and there’s nothing done. I feel like I always loose.

Reading I’ve always been an outsider. [astro-seek.com]

Post image
• Upvotes

F27 - Grew up undiagnosed autistic, experienced a lot of trauma both in childhood and adulthood. I’ve always felt like an *alien* amongst humans. (lol pretty sure this is a common experience for neurodivergent peeps.)

Many people have told me they find me intimidating. I’ve also been told by quite a few that they “can’t figure” me out, despite me being upfront and honest with my intentions.

I’ve been fired from many jobs without a clear explanation to why, even when I’ve truly felt that I was doing well and putting in the effort (often times more effort than everyone else it felt like).

I’ve always been a loner, a bit of a ghost even. But I’ve always felt a deep yearning within to be accepted by others.

It might be notable to mention that I have a gift for reading people…I think to the point that it makes others very uncomfortable. Like they feel like I’m inside of their head? I guess. Even if I’m not trying to…

I was also in the GATE program growing up (the weird government one) where I remember being singled out to go to a small, isolated room where I listened to the Monroe Tapes and underwent strange tests related to remote-viewing, as well as other intuitive practices. Occasionally I was also brought to a room with all the windows covered up with a small group of other kids not from my class. I was in the program for many years…K-5, up until my (unfit, neglectful, and later…abusive) parents went through a nasty divorce and began a seemingly unending, traumatizing custody battle that I was pulled right into the middle of.

I’d really like to know what others read in my chart… thank you in advance! 🙏

Reading Life has been hammering me consistently and I just need to know things will get better [astro-seek.com]

Post image
2 Upvotes

Long story short my life has been a series of friend betrayals, false starts, rug-pulls, and loss in both family and pets- usually in a way that comes out of nowhere and completely blindsides me. I need some kind of hope for things improving whether it's love (currently single and have been since 2018) or in career (I'm stuck in a dead end job and feeling hopeless after trying repeatedly to make my vocation work as a career and having nothing but lateral moves in spite of working towards it for the better part of a decade and taking continuing education, certifications, and even going back to school to advance my degree). It's really starting to feel like nothing is ever going to improve and this is just the life I am stuck in.

Just looking for any signs of hope in my chart. Everything I have tried to research on my own looks like my chart is relatively positive so I have no idea why everything has been so constantly miserable no matter what I do to improve it (literally tried everything from higher education and job fairs for career, singles events and apps and just meeting people through hobby events for love, and grief counseling and therapy for loss and friendship stuff). Could someone give me any kind of insight on this? I am still learning astrology and am admittedly not very good at it myself.

25F , as mentioned I am diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety disorder and cptsd and adhd

I am very lost in life right now

I would like to understand my karma better to try to understand what I’m ’working towards’ - I am plagued by self doubt and have a lot of trauma around ‘being taken seriously’, I have a very silly goofy soul & it has given me beautiful friendships but a lot of trouble with success under capitalism & feeling like a normal person in the workplace.

I have a lottt of fear and anxiety about living alone again (I live with my parents after a mental breakdown in 2022) and I’m coming to terms with being a late bloomer when it comes to confidence & stability & direction

Any words of advice would help 💓
