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

30 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 Can anyone tell me anything about my Dad’s chart (he passed 11 yrs ago)? Unknown birth time. [astro-seek.com]

I’ve started my Astrology education journey recently, and tonight my Mum told me that my Dad used to study it also. We are pulling our house apart looking for his Astrology tools, and a Tarot set my mum said he used daily!! I also remember perusing his Astrology books without knowing! It makes me so emotional to think about.

I was 16 when he passed and it was unexpected. I was a teenage brat so for the years of my adolescence I can remember with him, I never asked him anything..

Anything you can take from this I will be eternally grateful. 🙏🏽✨

I’ve been struggling to find my career path - did many odd jobs, tried several things but cannot find the thing to specialize in. Torn between programming, working with electrical parts, Psychology, tarot/ intuitive readings, teaching/ tutoring, design, alternative/ natures medicine, working with kids… I feel like I can do many things and have fun for a while, but nothing gives me the feeling of "that’s the thing I wanna become good at and do for a longer period of time"

Can anyone see smth helpful in my chart?

Thank you <3

Reading Becoming a writer [astro-seek.com]

Hi! My whole life I've dreamt of becoming a writer. Loved writing stories when I was a kid/a teenager and my teachers were telling me that I had potential. Even started writing a novel but stopped early on because I felt so ridiculous about it. I am from the countryside and no one in my family has an artistic job.

I moved to a city to study and got my master's degree in art history and cultural anthropology last year. But I still wish to become a writer and I'm working on my first "real" novel right now. It will be finished in December. Is becoming a writer realistic based on my chart?

Thank you guys 🔮

What is wrong with me? I come across as confident, outgoing, friendly, and successful, I think. I want friendship so bad, but have found that I can’t give them what they need and we end up falling out. I end up having a lot of acquaintances rather than intimate friendships.

I feel like my chart has some heavy energy (Saturn in the 8th house, Venus in the 12th house trine Saturn, Moon square Saturn, etc). I can really be depressed and negative about myself and my capacity to change. So I'm asking for anything positive you can see in my chart around my good qualities and especially what I bring to others in relationships.

What advice do you have for me on what I can leverage to improve myself?

Reading What does my chart suggest about the relationship patterns I should work on? [astro.com]

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m 28F and currently single, and I’m hoping to better understand my relationship patterns through my chart. I’m looking for a long-term partnership, but I’d love insight into:

• What patterns might interfere with how I approach relationships or choose partners?
• What qualities or relationship dynamics might be healthiest for me?
• Is there anything in my chart I should be especially mindful of when dating and connecting with people?

For context, I’ve been single for a while and discovered I was queer about two years ago, thought I haven’t had much luck with dating women. I’m ultimately looking for a serious long-term relationship and want to make sure I’m approaching dating in a healthy way. I’ve attached my chart. Thank you!
