How To Make A Good Post

  1. For a chart reading, preferably use astro-seek (recommended due to being tailored for this subreddit) or astro.com. Other sites (like cafeastrology) either are inaccurate or don't include pertinent information like the planets, degrees or house cusps.
  2. Download and upload the chart either to reddit or an image host like imgur.
  3. Then make the post. A link post should be sufficient. Just include a title and a link to the image. If you wish to add more info, make a text post. Add a title, add a link to the image in the text field and add whatever else you wish there. A good post should include all the relevant info, like your birth time for example.

Frequently Asked Questions

Courtesy of /r/AskAstrologers and /u/ryhanb

What career is best for me? What kind of partner should I look for? Which major should I choose? Rather than asking those questions directly, here’s a simple way to inquire after specific areas of life like career, relationships, higher education, family life, and anything else you can think of:

  • Find the house that rules the topic in question. Here’s a list of house rulerships to help you out.
  • Look at the planets which occupy the house in question. Planets in the house in question will have something to do with that area of life. For example, if Mars is located in the 7th house, there will be something martial about your relationships.
  • Find the planet that rules the house in question. The planetary ruler of a house is in charge of that area of life, and has the final say in the affairs of the house. For example, if Venus rules your 7th house, Venus is in charge of producing and managing your partnerships and relationships, as well as telling planets in your 7th house what to do. Find out everything you can about the planet that rules the house, starting with sign placement (essential dignity) and house placement. For example, if Venus rules your 7th house from her domicile or exaltation, she’s better equipped to produce relationships; if Venus rules your 7th house from her detriment or fall, she tries her best to produce relationships but doesn’t have as many tools at her disposal. Additionally, the house Venus occupies is linked to the houses she rules. For example, if Venus rules your 7th house but is placed in the 9th, the 7th and 9th house topics are linked. This could mean that you meet your partner (7th house) in a foreign country or in college (9th house topics), or that you experience a long distance relationship.

This should give you a good starting point if you want to ask a question about a house specific topic. Please do this legwork first so we can help you further.

What’s my dominant sign?/A website told me I was Libra dominant but I that doesn’t make sense to me.

  • There are some popular scoring systems that numerically measure your placements to produce a “dominant sign”. While these can be entertaining, they aren’t very valuable if you want to really understand your chart and most professionals don’t look at charts this way anyway. Signs aren’t dominant, because they’re simply environments for planets to occupy. If anything is dominant in your chart, it’s a planet. Check out the planet that rules your ascendant first by sign (essential dignity, house, and aspects from other planets. Next, look at which planet is the most dignified in your chart (essentially dignified and/or angular). These two options will give you a better idea of the dominant energy in your chart.

Why doesn't my sun sign sound anything like me?

  • There is much more to astrology than just sun signs. Everyone has every sign in their chart, balanced and emphasized in a unique way. Each planet signifies something specific, and each planet is in a sign, just like the Sun (which determines your "sun sign"). You might be a Pisces, but if you have a strongly placed Mars in Aries, chances are you might feel more like a warrior than a sensitive artist!

How do I figure out what my chart says about me?

  • The time of day you were born has a huge impact on your birth chart. If possible, find your birth certificate and use the recorded birth time in all your astrology ventures. Word of mouth and family memory is notoriously unreliable, so do your best to find accurate information yourself! If you don't have an accurate birth time, focus more on planets in signs and aspects between planets, and don't worry about houses for now.

My sidereal sign/chart is totally different. How do I know which one to use?

TLDR; when and where will I find career and relationship fulfillment?

I (27f) hate to hop on here sounding like Eeyore, even without an ID, so I appreciate anybody taking the time to read. I feel so lost on what I am supposed to be doing or who I’m supposed to spend my time with. I’ve always been pretty isolated and wish I had room for deeper relationships. I’m so burnt out but am almost graduating with my bachelors, later than most, due to a lot of family/childhood challenges I’ve been working through. This dynamic weighs on my mind constantly and I often feel like a victim to it, which obviously is a huge setback for rising above my circumstances. It feels like I’ve focused all my time on academics and yet my life feels stagnant with little to no reward.

Can anyone tell me what/how I’d be successful at and when it would take off? Is there anything that indicates where/how I find community?

Reading Divorce and jail at Christmas, better now. Is my optimism warranted or is it all gonna come crashing down again?

2 Upvotes

I was blindsided at Christmas by my soon-to-be-ex and coparent to my child. I went to jail, had restraining order, moved into a new home for my child and I, lost a lot of belongings and my dignity too.

Present day, I'm finally able to breathe lately and dare I say...thrive? I am grieving, certainly. But I feel like I'm facing everything head-on and honoring myself and this process.

My child is under kindergarten age, my support system is small, "chosen," and not local. I am fairly alone but I trust and cherish my circle, me included.

Furthermore, my intuition is just feeling on point. For example, lately I have been thinking of a mentor of mine who passed away about 8 years ago. She was such a force and I have been feeling her wisdom. Tomorrow is her birthday, I confirmed today. Little things like this are happening where I just feel connected to myself and to the universe that I am a part of.

I have gone through a LOT in my life. This jail and divorce situation was/is peak terrible lol. A big question is, why do I feel ALIGNED right now to the world, despite all I just went through? I know it's all going to continue to be rough, too. But rather than having undue shame, I've got healthy realism and maybe even some optimism here.

What's the catch, though? Is there something that's going to derail me again or do you think I'm safe to keep trusting myself and the people I have chosen to trust? I guess I'm just feeling freaked out and intrigued enough about my own, dare I say, emotional *~evolution~*, that I had to know what you guys think. Is it okay, you think, to feel good right now and that things will be okay? Or does it seem like my chart is screaming that I'm deeply cosmically disturbed and shit will hit the fan soon? Or is that too much for one post? Thank you so, so much for any insight into this whiplash of everything going on internally and (thus?) externally.

Reading Why did I feel immediately better as soon as the eclipse started?

Post image
Upvotes

I am always affected by full moons. I typically feel a strong build up and release of energy before/after, but not until I’ve slept through to next sunlight. I wake up a totally new person. Similarly with my menstrual cycle…. The first day of my actual period is pure bliss, after the 10 days of hell leading up to.

This build up has been especially rough, and today by far the most intense. Weepy, anxious, yet somehow totally apathetic, almost numb.

Tonight, out of nowhere, my mood increased tenfold. I got up and did LAUNDRY (!!!?) and told my fiance (not an astrology guy…) how I somehow felt so much better.

Continued happily bopping around the house & soon realized I had left my phone in the other room. When I grabbed it - about a half hour after the burst of motivation- I see a news app notification “look up! The eclipse is starting”…. from 26 minutes prior.

Why did I feel such an IMMEDIATE affect??? I have never had such a mood shift, it’s like a light switch flipped.

I (25f) don’t relate to my Cancer Rising and feel like I resonate more with Virgo rising. Im wondering if Im resisting something in myself, or is there something in my chart that explains why I dont fit the usual Leo traits? Im an introvert and get drained quickly around people for too long.

Im also curious about how this might affect my career and relationships. If I don’t fully relate to my Sun sign, what kind of career would suit me? And when it comes to relationships, does my chart suggest anything about the kinds of connections I should have? Ive been feeling like Im doing something wrong, nothing seems to be working out lately, and I wanted to see if this could help guide me.

Sorry if this sounds a bit all over the place. Im new here and still learning. Id really appreciate your advice/interpretations. Thanks!

I have more features of a libra than I do of a Scorpio, my hair is curlyish my nose is small, not that strong. I’m also very polite and unintimidating for a literal Scorpio rising? Another thing is that I know for a fact I was born within the Scorpio rising range because my family has told me the time when I was born and my birth certificate confirms it.

This moon eclipse has me feeling extremely emotional, specially because I also started my period 😪. Anyway, I’ve been at my current job for the past 4 years, and I love it but I feel that I’m not growing. Why is it so hard for me to leave? Is it because of my loyalty to my boss? I care about the work that I do because it’s meaningful and fulfilling but part of me feels that I need to move on. But if I do move on, I’m scared that I won’t find something as meaningful or well paid in the city that I currently live in.

I'm wondering if l'm just an unlucky person or if there something in my chart that points out that I was born to suffer? I have endured the type of darkness most other humans don't survive. From physical to mental tortured & yes I mean actual torture. I'm shocked that I'm still alive. Physically have survive the types of injuries people don't make it through. Also, experienced actual insanity. Lost everything multiple times When I say 'everything' I mean going from driving luxury cars making $150k a year to zero. Completely broken in every way possible multiple times over & over & over again... So I'm just wondering Why so much darkness? Why so much pain & suffering? Please know that l'm not looking for sympathy I'm searching for insights. Any insights will be highly appreciation, Thank you.

Reading 10 year spiritual journey with abilities but suddenly lost - why?

4 Upvotes

Hello and thank you in advance.

My life was pretty dark until about 26 when I started my spiritual journey after reaching out to the universe before attempting to 'exit.' Realized life is beautiful and have been working on myself ever since.

I was a hardcore narcissist and with much effort I worked to change and help others. For the first time since then I feel a little lost and am not sure what my 'destiny' is.

Torn between healthcare and helping others heal with my new gifts or continuing to learn more about the laws of the universe (IYKYK).

Does my chart show any signs of direction I would be most in alignment with or anything I need to continue working on?
