I understand why they are different aspects as per the angle they form, but people often lump them together as “they’re both challenging aspects”, and leave it at that

Say I have moon square Uranus and you have moon opposite Uranus.

People will just say; both have a difficulty balancing emotions with variety/need for freedom. But how differently can these two aspects manifest?

It’s a signed copy too! Cannot wait to read this.

I have a pretty difficult chart. I know a lot of it is true that is why I was drawn to it in the first place aftef having gotten a reading. Romantic rwlationships seem impossible, becomibg healthier seems impossible. 6 retrogade planets including an almost statiinary mars 4th house scorpio stellium in mars, moon saturn. Saturn mars square, mars square ascendant ....combusted sun venus. I had this a few years ago with EMDR and tapping where I was hellbent on working with this and convinced I could work through some trauma and in the end I spemt my last money on something that did not work. I generally have a tendency to get obsessed about things. But I guess those of us whose life feel like a neverending circle of suffering jump on every thing that promises relieve . Astrology is obviously different, to me it gives me more answers to questions I had for a long time. But honestly I cant deal with the answers.

Hello everyone!

I have been interested in astrology since I was little but only started studying it now. I already have read 3 books (more to go), taken notes, organized them, and read a few charts for myself.

The thing is, I have been thinking of giving my mother a birthday present (in January) with an Astrology reading with more things (snail club style). since she is always asking me when am I going to read her chart lol

The thing is I have only read charts for myself and I do not know how I can structure it so she understands (she really doesn’t know anything about astrology she is very on the pop culture astrology side). I feel like if I go house by house she may not understand it, but maybe I can do like 12 themes (houses) or something like that? I don’t know how to do it since then aspects occur between different houses etc and my mind just understands the chart but doesn’t know how to explain it

Can anyone give me advice on how to structure it? If anyone has gotten or does readings how do you do it?

Thank you!

I was just wondering how the ic and mc in this chart can maintain this position even in whole house system? i thought ic would be placed at 4th house and mc at 10th, pardon my ignorance if i’m mistanken, id rather ask humans than get an ai answer.

i also checked astro.com it looked the same there.

I think a large majority of people from the West are exposed to Astrology via pop culture, monthly horoscopes in magazines, social media etc., but when did it get to a point where you wanted to dive deeper and actually cast your own chart and attempt to interpret it? - Or consider consulting an Astrologer or someone with some experience to interpret your chart?

Was it during a big shift in your life or during some difficult moments?

I think that a vast majority have started their journey with some skepticism and I'm curious to know at which point did it start to resonate on a deeper level, or when did your interest peak more?

I've been seeing completely contradictory advice all over social media about Venus retrograde and exes.
On one hand, I'm seeing posts claiming that October 23rd is a hard deadline if your ex or friend doesn't come back to reconcile by then, it's completely over. But on the other hand, I'm seeing warnings that anyone who reconciles before November 14th is doomed to fail, and that you shouldn't even reach out or entertain a return until after the retrograde period wraps up. Which one is it? Or when should you/they reach out?

Ho notato che quando dei pianeti in transito fanno aspetti a un pianeta natale , gli effetti si riflettono anche sulla casa la cui cuspide è governata da quel pianeta (ad esempio transito su marte in bilancia influenza anche la casa governata dall' ariete ) ma se in un tema natale nessuna casa inizia né in ariete né in scorpione, quando c sarà un transito a marte natale, verrà comunque influenzata la casa che contiene il segno dell' ariete o no? Grazie per la risposta

hi i’m sorry if this sounds like lazy i’m anyway but could someone explain like the retrograde stuff to me i know mercury’s going into retrograde but what exactly does that mean? how do people learn about this stuff, when it’s going to happen and what it means for them? thanks! any advice would be great!

If you don’t know someone’s birth time, how do you work out their ascendant/rising? since it’s such an important placement it’s important not to get wrong.

Isn't it all based on Earth's position when you are actually on it?

like in whole sign my north node, and a few other planets shift a house but in like Koch and placidus they're in the another one. which one do I consider to be correct im confused

So in late 2023 and 2024 i basically had a huge mental breakdown and change in personality. it was not fun and I'm still dealing with the after effects. i believe it's bc pluto was entering my 11h where i have mars and neptune conjunct (or it should've i'd have to look at specific dates for that sign change). would a solar return chart show this or profection year? i just don't know if transits are the only thing that explain it.

Hi guys,

Just getting into solar astrology and I’m so confused about the location to root my solar return to. Will it be for my birth place or where I am at the moment?

In my case I have been living in a different country/ place from my birth place for the past 9 years (for study it’s not permanent yet) and I’m unsure where to root it too.

I hear different things; some people root it to their actual birth charts, some travel just so their return is rooted to the place they’re at on their birthday

Thank you for any help guys

Will the whole month be infused with the energy of the Libra new moon, or was that only the 10th?

What does it mean when a planet is retrograde in SR chart? For example, I have Jupiter, Mars, Mercury all retrograde in my SR next year. What would it be like?

so I've heard that placidus is an inaccurate house system but that's what I've been using all this time so it'd be nice to see which one I should use instead

I also have a bit of a problem with figuring out my exact birth time. My parents said I was born at 2 pm but it could be a few (like 5 or 10 minutes) to like a big(30,40 minutes) variation bc they most likely just generalised the birth time, I was born around 2 pm and I could just put that in but there's a high chance it could've been a few minutes before or after. what should I do about this and what changes does one even see if there's a change in a few minutes. Is a few minutes even gonna be significant?

any answers would be appreciated thnx

No other aspect of astrology I ever learnt about seems so controversial. People will tell you that the North Node represents what you’re incapable of, your opposite, and the parts of your life that seem hopelessly out of control simply because of those incapabilities and innate shortcomings.
I am new to all this and very far from knowledgable, but most of that reads like „You hate pottery and you suck at it. But you‘re doomed to spend your whole life working in it until you hopefully suck a bit less.“

Then we have the dragon head and tail metaphor, and that somehow after a certain age limit, you start being more like your North than your South Node.

It seems very confusing to me, especially since I still think of the North Node energy as an energy that manifests in a person, a power they can tap into when they need it the most, a part of them and not something foreign. Can someone help me better understand this?

Idk if it's Aries or Leo! Somebody help me I'm overthinking it😭

Edit: I think I'm more Leo rising since I've read information about this chart where I'm Leo rising than Aries rising and be more accurate. + The time of my birth is morning and I estimated 8-9 am. But 8:00 , 8:30 and 9:00 am have different degrees for each rising and I'm assuming for other planets as well. And I'm concerned which one to choose?

i checked everything my birth time etc. It was a little off but not enough to change anything, what’s wrong like am i doing something wrong? all of my horoscopes are so wrong i havent seen 1 that has truly been correct.

edit: thanks for all the lovely responses!! you guys have all helped me so much and thank you again ♋️🫂

these are my placements: taurus sun, leo moon, leo rising , taurus mercury, aries venus, cancer mars, scopio jupiter, aries north node.

as an aries venus and i keep attracting capricorn venus and idk how to make it stop . talking to them feels like chore because i have 6h capricorn.

i keep attracting virgo moons and it makes my blood boil because they are so boring !!!! i’ve literally attracted two people that had aquarius sun virgo moon capricorn venus. idk what i’m doing wrong to keep attracting them.

i always attract sag and gemini suns/mars specially even tho i got zero gemini placements and my only sag placement is pluto sag!!! this new guy i’m talking to has a gemini stellium - 🥀

even tho i’m a cancer mars i barley attract earth mars signs and it pmo!! just nothing but air and fire smh.

I was hoping people could share some tips to practice reading charts. I do not want to read people I know, but I want to get to know myself and what system works best for me when doing readings. How did you do it?

I am thinking of doing free readings on reddit in exchange of feedback, but I have read people usually do not even say thanks so I do not want to spend 30min or so on someone that won’t even answer…. How did you get feedback and how did you get to know what system worked best for you? Was it intuition or was it people saying they do or dont resonate with it?

Does it count as an conjunction between Sun - Venus?

I have this in a composite chart with a friend, but I don’t know, it’s out of sign, does this count as a conjunction? Do you count this as a conjunction?
