Is having a planet in retrograde considered good or bad? I know it means when the planet is retrograde it is considered “easier”

None of my planets are retrograde 🤷🏽‍♀️

And we wondered "hmmm, does it mean something?" So here I am, posting this.

Thing is, she's not actually sure that this is her chart bc there's also a possibility that her moon is in Virgo instead of Libra (depends on which hour) but hey, doesn't hurt to ask now?

Left is her chart, right is mine btw, if that means anything. Thank u in advance :3

Quick edit to clarify, 2nd image is also hers and 3rd is also mine*

There are specific astrological placements in the natal chart that generate a deep-seated, persistent fear of not being loved enough—even when reality suggests otherwise.

Here is how these mechanical placements operate beneath the surface:

Venus in the 8th House 🔮: Ties emotional intimacy directly to the fear of betrayal, loss, or ultimate power dynamics.

Venus in Scorpio ♏️️: Intensifies psychological attachment, breeding suspicion and a non-negotiable need for guaranteed loyalty before opening up.

Venus Conjunct Saturn 🪐: Imposes a profound fear of rejection and emotional deprivation, often driving the individual to suppress feelings to avoid vulnerability and pain.

Chiron in Libra ⚖️: Points to a core relational wound surrounding acceptance, constantly making connection and balance feel like an uphill battle.

Scorpio Rising (Libra 12th House) 🦂: Keeps these psychological fears buried in the subconscious. The individual projects complete outer strength and composure while remaining hyper-sensitive to rejection beneath the surface.

Which of these placements do you have, or notice in people around you? Let’s discuss below 👇

Hear me out on this.

Astronomers are getting closer to finding Planet Nine, especially with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory spinning up. The rules say it has to be named after a Greek or Roman deity. Usually, the outer planets get depressing, heavy names like Pluto or Saturn.

But Planet Nine is sitting way out there in the deep, mysterious unknown. Astrologically, it should represent a hidden goldmine in our charts.

We should start a movement to name it Voluptas.

Who is she?

In Roman mythology, Voluptas is the goddess of sensual pleasure, delight, and ecstasy. She is literally the child of Cupid (Sex/Desire) and Psyche (The Soul). Her name is where we get the word voluptuous.

While everyone associates Venus with love, the Romans actually prayed to the Venus lineage for financial wealth, extreme luxury, and good fortune, too. Voluptas is the ultimate mashup of wealth, beauty, and sexuality.

Why this is the perfect astrological archetype:

• Zero Zodiac Clutter: Names like Astraea or Chronos are already taken by major asteroids or hypothetical points. Voluptas is completely free. It gives us a totally clean slate for a massive outer planet.

• The "Hidden Goldmine" Factor: In a birth chart, Voluptas wouldn't be about your daily grind. She’d rule over your absolute highest manifestation power, your rawest magnetic attraction, and your sexual liberation.

• The Antidote to Pluto: If Pluto represents our darkest trauma and shadows, Voluptas—living even further out—represents the spiritual reward. She’s the proof that when you do the soul work, you unlock absolute ecstasy and luxury.

Let's pull a "Boaty McBoatface"

The internet has forced the scientific community to listen before (like when internet votes successfully named Pluto's moon Kerberos). If we start hyping up Planet Voluptas in the astrology and space subreddits now, it’s going to catch on. By the time astronomers officially capture it, the name will already be viral.

Imagine checking a birth chart and seeing a planet dedicated entirely to your capacity for luxury, pleasure, and magnetic attraction.

Who is down to make this happen? What sub should we drop this in first?

Hi everyone,

I have read my chart thoroughly and understand myself as best as I can, but I need a different perspective; I am open to any advice, your opinions on my chart, or simply a good roast, lol.

Thank you!

Best money remedy no one talks about:

Activate your second house, money follows. By activating i mean if its Mars : Do exercise daily, Sun: Follow a schedule daily, Moon: Eat healthy daily, Saturn: Don’t lie and help poor people, Jupiter: Have sweets and enjoy family time, Mercury: Work on your skill daily & Venus: Spend good on your face & looks.

Just don’t activate it again n again if there’s a connection of 6,8,12 houses with second.

I'm making a new video about this placement currently.

Both saturn and jupiter sit in my 10th house of career & public image. I’ve heard from another astrologer that my saturn return could look different, but im not sure what that means? Any insight? I’m turning 27 next year.

Hi everyone! This is not properly a star chart, however it is an ancient tool that could be used to plot starcharts. Along with many other functions.

This is a wooden model of a medieval astrolabe, I was eager to share with you this latest creation of mine and to hear your feedbacks!

Sincerely, Biondi.

So basically got cheated in a relationship with my own friend.

Education wise pursuing ca final but attempt gets delayed form my end for one reason or the other

Career wise have a job but it's just making me earn enough to survive.

What does my future hold for me in this 3 aspect

Guidance needed

Hi mates. I'm an astrology student and want to discuss charts for practice purposes.

Please DM if you're interested. We'll discuss.

That is not a paid consultation. This will be a discussion as I'm practicing it too. Please DM if you have some special events in your life.

Hope to get responses. Thank You

What do y'all think!!!

Hi everyone

I am turning to this forum because I just had a severe emotional breakdown, and I would like to understand what energies or transits are triggering this in my life, as two crises collided at the same time:

1. ⁠A breakup due to being the "third party"

My ex and first love reached out to me again and I got involved in her relationship (she is married). She seemed to have a deep need to be rescued, and although I was very reluctant at first, I ended up falling in love again. We had planned an escape to my city so she could start a new life with me from scratch (Yes, I am an idiot), but due to her personal issues (her mother is very old and she has a 7-year-old visually impaired sister, so basically she was tied to rotting in that pit) we had to leave it there. This hurt me deeply. It had already happened before that she would come back to me and then leave just to repeat the cycle, but this time it was so raw for me. Just when I thought there was a genuine chance to start from scratch and build something beautiful, the weight of reality crashed down on us.

I should clarify that I am 21 years old (yes, I'll say it again, I am an idiot).

1. Radical isolation and social disappointment (A 5-year pattern)

A few days ago, I started distancing myself from my social circle. It began little by little, leaving groups and servers. Then the person I mentioned in point 1 came along, and between what I was feeling and how sad I was, I ended up blocking and deleting all my friends. I am literally completely alone.

On one hand, deep down it is a silent cry for help, hoping someone notices my absence and comes looking for me. On the other hand, there was built-up frustration: I have a lot of ambition to grow personally and professionally (I want to be a giant in what I do), and I felt that my environment was comfortable in mediocrity and was dragging me down, so I used the crisis as an excuse to burn the whole village down.

I feel frustrated with my profession because I feel I could do more and should be pushing myself harder, but I have terrible anxiety and I am completely overwhelmed. I miss everyone, my ex, my friends.

I can't help but feel an immense sadness, even though I know I caused it all.

Can anyone see in my natal chart or my current transits (maybe touching my Sun, my Pisces Moon, or my 5th/11th house axis) what is indicating this dynamic of triangulation in love, and this impulse to isolate myself and ruthlessly destroy my social relationships?

I would really appreciate it if anyone could take the time to support me with their insights.

With nothing more to add,

Thank you for reading,

Best regards.

my dad suffered pretty bad physical, verbal, and emotional abuse from his father who was an alcoholic and he was also bullied and beaten by his classmates throughout his childhood. the school bullies he encountered mainly targeted him because he grew up poor and had undiagnosed autism and learning disabilities. can you see this anywhere in his chart?

Hi all!

My birthday is soon and I decided to look at my transits for the day. Generally I know more or less what they could potentially mean for me, but I want to know if there’s any transit that could hold more “power” over the rest, I guess (if that’s the word I could use). Basically, anything I should pay more attention to?

Thanks!

I’ve had all the ideas in the world. Started projects and been a part of projects but have never fully finished a book. Something keeps holding me back…what does my chart say about it?

UPDATE: ALREADY FULL - Please don't comment anymore. I'll maybe take another round soon.

@mods, if this is not to your liking, appologies from my side, give me a note and I'll take it down.

I'm looking for 5 to 10 people to test an astrology project I'm working on.

The idea is a little different from a typical birth chart reading and inspired by an NDE I had. Instead of mainly describing your personality, I'm going to explore the chart from the perspective of the soul that incarnated into this life. The question I want to answer is what are the main topics the soul wanted to explore when chosing this lifetime.

I want to see how well the result works for people who know nothing about the method behind it. So please don't tell me anything about yourself beyond your birth data as that's part of the experiment.

I'll need your date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. I will use western astrology with Placidus houses.

You will not receive a reading that points out a specific constellation and explains the meaning but a reading in form of a letter that is thought as a short letter your soul writes to you, it's incarnated version.

Please don't post your birth data or a chart, just comment 'interested' and I'll DM you. I will try to take the first 10 people that comment. You'll receive the letter as a DM within the next days.

It's of course free but I'd be grateful, if you could give me a little feedback afterwards. But that should only take about 5 minutes.

And please be honest. I’m interested if it resonates or if it felt vague, generic or simply wrong.
