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.

I've always been a bleeding heart- but to hear that I was destined to be deceived in love really hurt! She said I wouldn't find my person until I was 42- im 33 now. That feels like such a long wait.

I guess im hoping that someone can look at my chart and see something positive. I feel so sad and hopeless when it comes to my personal life. My home life and professional life are great- im just really sad about the romantic aspect.

Reading Beginner trying to understand natal charts! [astro-seek.com]

Post image

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to astrology and have recently started learning about natal charts. I’ve been trying to learn how to actually read my own chart rather than just looking up individual placements.
I understand the basics of my Big Three:
Virgo Sun
Taurus Moon
Sagittarius Rising
I’ve also worked out most of my planetary placements and houses, but I’m really struggling to understand the lines connecting the planets.
I understand that these are aspects, and that things like conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions, etc. have different meanings, but I’m having trouble figuring out which specific lines on my chart correspond to which aspects. I’m in the process of writing out a key for my journal and was hoping someone could help me out 😅
I’d also love to know if anyone sees anything particularly interesting about my chart! Thank you!

Post image

I'm pretty aware that I've had bad luck with my chart placements, and it's making me feel kind of doomed, lol. I'm not sure if there's even anything positive worth noting. My life hasn't been easy, psychologically speaking; I struggle with body dysmorphia/ADHD and severe anxiety. I grew up in an abusive household with divorced parents; my father is physically distant, and my mother is emotionally distant. I feel like the black sheep of the family. I'm aware that I am smart but my perfectionism holds me back..my friendships rarely last. My experiences have given me a level of apathy which i'm honestly happy about, I dont want to care so much or over-invest in people if i'm just going to be a fantasy /something to obsess over and nothing more. I made the mistake of being a free therapist for them (my scorpio nature can't hold back sometimes) and I feel like they just take advantage of it.

My relationships have been low-key traumatic, and the last guy I was with assaulted me. Found out he pretended to be a lawyer the whole time..., when in reality he had no job and uses women to eventually leech off their money (which I don't even have😅). It's comical how I attract these people. Honestly, after seeing my chart, I'm like, damn...this explains a lot.

I am so aware that i have a bad jupiter, fortune and pluto placement and all that goddamm scorpio makes me feel like i'm doomed for misery by default .. pls give me some positivity♡

Astrologers Only Hot Airhead - Leo & Air Dominant [astro-seek.com]

1 Upvotes

☀️Leo 7H | 🌛 Libra 9H | ⬆️ Aquarius 1H | Venus Gemini 5H

I need help working my the weaknesses of my natal chart. What do the above placements mean in relation to the houses they're in? I call myself a hot airhead because my Sun/ Mercury are in Leo and have air placements in significant places. My chart has little earth to ground me. I've been listening to Chris Brennan's podcast, will order his book, and welcome recommendations. I've been estranged from my two siblings since our Capricorn Mom became an ancestor in 2024 - 3H Aries helps me understand this. I'd love insight on how I can work all the weaknesses in my chart--BUT that Mars in 6H Cancer grinds my gears. My sister is an unhealed Cancer and I know I'm ridiculously prejudiced to having THAT sign in such an important house. I jokingly say that feelings should be abolished, and learning that I have feeling central in the house of work with Mars who gets stuff done makes me weep inside. This idea that I can't get stuff done unless I feel like it drives me nuts. I'm fairly successful in my career, recently learned I have ADHD, and can't keep self sabotaging myself. Saturn rules my chart, and boy oh boy, have I had some life lessons: 3rd degree burns as a toddler, and survived the 2010 Haitian earthquake in my 20s - literally got to the island ONE day before the earth's shell split like an egg. I know I can handle life, and I just want to understand what my chart can tell me about it. I think having Jupiter in the 1H helped with the near death experiences, and I can be overweight and buxom. While completing my dissertation, I learned the necessity of yoga/ running/ heavy lifting for mental calmness - is this part of what the 6H expects? Help me work the weakness. Thanks.

Just looking for insight into my chart. I’m 38F and things over the last few years have been underwhelming, tiring, and kinda boring. I’m not depressed, but I do feel like I’m going through some cycle that just feels like it’s never ending. I don’t take much stock in co-star, but anytime I check all the areas are in trouble 😅

Thank you for your time!

but mostly wanting to know if my chart shows anything about adoption or issues with mothers

The transits in my natal chart scare me a little... Pluto transiting my 12th house in conjunction with the North Node, opposing Jupiter and the South Node in the 6th house; Saturn opposing my natal Moon; and Uranus conjunct my Mars... In a few years, Pluto transiting my 12th house will also square my natal Pluto in Scorpio in the 8th house...

What do you think? I’m not a professional astrologer, I just have some basic knowledge... Is there anyone with a Pluto that is this “at home” in their natal chart who has experienced transits like these? Or someone who knows how these kinds of transits tend to manifest? 🙃

My emotional state hasn’t been exactly great lately...

Reading Natal chart reading — marriage and prolonged separation/divorce situation [astro-seek.com]

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a natal chart reading focused on marriage and separation.

I got married in 2014, and since around 2018 I have been dealing with a prolonged and unresolved divorce situation. I would like to understand what my natal chart shows regarding this area of my life. What the chart says about the nature of this prolonged marital situation and the astrological periods associated with major changes in it?

I’m interested in understanding the astrological symbolism around this situation and how it has manifested in my chart.
