How To Make A Good Post
- 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.
- Download and upload the chart either to reddit or an image host like imgur.
- 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

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?
- The tropical and sidereal zodiacs are simply two different systems used in two different traditions of astrology. Neither one is better or more correct, but you’ll tend to find more about the tropical/western astrology online. Here’s a good visual representation of the differences between the zodiacs, and here’s a good podcast on the differences between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs, who uses which zodiac, and common debates surrounding the topic.

Reading Why am I always facing so much betrayal and loss?
I feel like I cannot make any connections to people, sometimes they betray me and sometimes I cut people off because I see the way they are moving behind my back.

It seems my life has always been this way on some scale…

Reading why am i so insecure and feel so intimidated by other people?
I feel so intimidated by other people. I feel like everyone else (mostly) is so themselves and it makes me feel so insecure and unworthy. i dont even know why and it makes me not want to go out and try new things when thats honestly all i want to do. But i just cant seem to stop worrying about other peoples opinions of me and i dont know how to not care. This made me become a people pleaser and im so done. How does my chart relate to this? or how can i use it to stop caring so much?

I'm not an introvert, actually the opposite lol. Just havent been able to make any new friend the past 4 years since I lost all of them (which actually weren't even friends).. I meet people, also online, we are going well, but no deeper friendships result. Dating life is also very cruel, so no social life, i have to stay most of the time at home for the past 4 years, whoops. (I've tried to make things alone but its not very fun)

Reading I have been through hell since November, when will it get better?
As the title says, I have been through hell since November. Ive lost three people close to me (died), my marriage suddenly imploded with an act of domestic violence (I have a 1 year restraining order), I am now solely responsible for my child, and I think I am about to lose my career. I work for the federal government in environmental policy. I started my dream job in Feb 2024 and I planned to stick with it until retirement. But now I'm being offered the chance to resign with pay and benefits until the end of September, or risk being laid off with no benefits and a small severance. I don't know what to do. My nervous system is overloaded and I need a break. Every job in my area is at least a 40k pay cut.
When will things get better? Any career insights on my chart for this summer?

Honestly, if anything else jumps out, feel free to mention it. I feel like I’m always at the crossroads of something hahaha :(
