See stickied post for posting guidelines. All posts are held for approval. This is a community for asking questions about your birth chart or astrology in general. Western Astrology only, no Vedic please. When asking about yourself, INCLUDE YOUR CHART FROM ASTRO-SEEK.COM. Question must be specific, about a planet, sign, aspect or house, or a specific transit, profection or progression, or a single area of life. Put your question in your post title.

Welcome to /r/AskAstrologers!

This is a place for to ask specific questions about your birth chart. If you have a general question about astrology, head to /r/astrology and post there.

RULES

If your post breaks one of the rules, it will be removed.

  1. Don't ask for free consultations/full chart readings. This is a place for questions and answers, not full chart readings. If you would like a full consultation, ask for a referral.
  2. Never make deals for chart readings over reddit. This should go without saying, but don't pay someone you know nothing about for a chart reading over reddit. While there are some professionals who visit the site, it's not likely that they would be the ones offering you services through this medium. Be cautious and responsible, and understand that there could be people out there looking to rip you off. The mods of /r/AskAstrologers are not responsible for any funds lost to scam artists, though we will do all we can to prevent spams and scams from being posted. Reddit responsibly!
  3. Don’t offer your services or free readings. Advertising your services is not allowed on /r/AskAstrologers. If you offer services (free or not), your post will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.
  4. Specify the source and accuracy of your birth time. Birth times are extremely important in astrology, so please do your best to have an accurate one, preferably straight from your birth certificate. If you don't have an accurate birth time, let us know. If your birth time is something like 6am, 2:30am, 12pm, or another round birth time, it may be rounded. Always list the source of your birth time so we can gauge accuracy.
  5. Only post a screenshot of your chart from astro.com ─ no lists of chart placements. Lists of placements are tedious and hard to read. Please post a screen of your entire birth chart.
  6. Do some research first so we have something to get us started. We’re happy to help you figure out a chart placement, but give us something to work with first. For example, if you need help figuring out your Mercury placement, tell us why you’re having trouble, what you think it means, what is or isn’t making sense, and how you experience it right now. Otherwise, you’re basically asking for a free reading. Check out our list of resources and FAQ if you need help.
  7. Use your best judgement. The advice of a stranger on the internet is never a substitute for that of a trained professional. Please take all advice with a grain of salt, and try not to make big decisions based on information given on this subreddit. While we strive for high quality content, there's never a guarantee.

HOW TO POST

  1. Find your birth time. It’s essential to have an accurate birth time from your birth certificate or other official source (check for a hospital bracelet or baby book). Please specify the source of your birth time in your post. If you can’t find your birth time, please specify that in your post.
  2. Get a copy of your birth chart. This can be done at www.astro.com.
  3. Make a post that includes an image of your chart. Screenshot your birth chart, upload it to Imgur.com, and post the link here in the body of a text post.
  4. Be specific. Ask a specific question about your chart, such as your Venus placement, a configuration (like Mercury square Saturn), or the Moon conjunct the ascendant. Give us some context and background, including why you’re asking your question and how much you’ve researched so far. Get us started: what do you think it means? How are you experiencing it in your life so far?

Why did I lose majority of my friendships in 2024?

Also, I’ve read some scary stuff online about saturn in the 8th house and now I’m curious, could someone please be kind enough to provide some information about that placement, and if it’s somehow connected to the loss of friendships?

What does Venus do in my chart?

My chart has all these intense and dramatic placements and aspects, then there’s little Libra Venus just barely in my 3H. I think part of what confuses me is that since Libra is domicile in Venus, it can be difficult to understand what defines a Venus in Libra versus Venus in general. For example, I hear often that Libra in Venus loves love and is always in relationships. I do have a dreamy romantic streak, but it’s more fantasy. In reality, I’m picky, I think too much and I’m too focused on building myself up.

The most I see this placement is that I enjoy and admire Libra Suns, some of whom give me gifts?

My chart feels pretty destined for loneliness, but what does the Lot of Fortune in the 7th House mean?

With Chiron conjunct the descendent, Neptune and Uranus in the 11th, Saturn in the 1st, and Pluto conjunct my Sun, I feel like my chart has a lot of indicators of loneliness and being unable to truly connect with others.

I’ve recently been studying the Lot of Fortune and think it’s interesting that it’s in my 7th House. My mind immediately goes to it being a placement that indicates taking advantage of others - is that true? How do Chiron and the Lot of Fortune work together in the same house?

F 21, struggling with communication, friendships, and networking since high school. It worries me career-wise and makes me feel lonely ,embarrassed. It hurts when I’m kind, loyal, and always willing to help, yet I’m treated like a parasite. Is this a blessing, god-protection or a punishment ?

Why do I defer to everyone else?

I’ve recently noticed that I struggle with constantly deferring to people. I’m otherwise a very confident person, I just struggle with speaking with authority at work, trusting my own decisions, and stay in relationships that I know are wrong for me. I’m often waiting for someone to give me permission to do something rather than taking initiative.

Almost everything is below the horizon line. Does that mean anything?

I was recently persuaded by some of my work friends to pull up my start chart so they could analyse me. I’m not much into astrology myself, but I can’t help but be intrigued by some of the things shown here. One thing in particularly is the fact that the majority of the planets, as well as most of the other stuff, seem to be below the horizon line. I’m not sure if that means anything, but if it does, I’d love to know. I’m also curious what the influence of having so many fire signs has, particularly from Aries it seems, on a sun sign that’s water.

Beyond those two questions, of course, any other insight will be greatly appreciated. If there is anything that jumps out at you and you want to share, please do!

What fruit corresponds/rule over each astrological placement?

I’m trying to Google and search but a bunch of teen vogue articles overtake any information. I was able to find diets to follow for each zodiac. But really I’m trying to record even beyond just what fruit each sign rules. I’m trying to find every little thing the sign may be connected or corresponds to or rules it. Overall, the one thing I cannot find in particular is the dang fruit!

Communication

I know the third house can indicate communication and siblings, each of my siblings ruling planet falls in my 3rd house, but what does it show about communication? I want to improve the way I talk to people, but every time I do i feel like i just went backwards :(

do i have any OCD indicators in my chart + can my chart tell you why my OCD might manifest in the way that it does?

i’ve been dealing with OCD since early childhood so i’m assuming it can be seen in my chart—i just don’t know where to look.

i was also wondering if our charts can tell us why our mental illnesses manifest in the way that they do—in my case, my OCD. for example: there are subtypes of OCD. i personally have “just right” OCD, AKA symmetry/ordering OCD. if you don’t know what that entails, basically, my compulsions aren’t really driven by a specific fear (ex: i don’t really think “if i don’t do this, my house will catch on fire”); there are just a lot of things i feel like i need to do in a certain way. i also struggle with hoarding as a symptom. in short, i reallyyy struggle with change.

so, could my chart tell you why my OCD might look like this as opposed to having specific intrusive thoughts (not that i don’t have those, but they don’t really lead me to compulsions)? i feel like subtypes might directly correlate with our personalities and i know astrology can tell us lots about our personality, so i’ve been curious

Is Lilith / ASC the reason why it is so hard to create any type of relationship?

A little context: Throughout my life, I faced constant themes of rejection and polarization(?? best word I can describe) from others even if I am the most polite or essentially did do anything to promote harm or suppress someone. I am incredibly perplexed? Like, today, I smiled at someone and they grimaced while the same action was done from someone else and they hit it off like fireworks. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.

How can I improve my drive and confidence?

I would appreciate it if you could offer me some guidance on how to improve my motivation to take action. Perhaps there are ways to compensate for the tense aspects wigh my moon, including the conjunction with Algol.

I find myself "stuck in my head" over thinking, questioning everything, overanalyzing which then exhausts me so I end up not taking action. I also get stuck in depressive episodes and have trouble developing a positive mindset. Thank you so much!

I feel like people always get me wrong?

In some cases I also feel as though I’m expected to slave around for people, and as if the rules that apply to everyone else don’t matter when it comes to me.

Is it my Neptune conjunct my Sun and Mercury? Is it my Sun or stellium opposing my Ascendant? Or my multiple planets in the house of service? Or a wonderful concoction of all things listed? I’m so fed up.🫤

Curious if having my sun in my 12th house is the reason I doubt myself so much or are there other things in my chart that lend to this feeling.

I really love meeting people and talking with people but often afraid I look stupid or have said the wrong thing.

Is there any remaining work for me to do before I find love?

Hi there! I would love to get some more information from my chart to see where I might be at in my journey to find love. Here’s some context that I hope might be helpful:

  • Relationship History & Patterns: I have had one relationship in my late 20s, and my partner was abusive. It took a lot for me to leave the relationship, and my primary fear was that this would be my only opportunity for love. I have had a lovely casual connection with someone since then, but nothing romantic. Since I left that relationship, I have put in a lot of work to learn how to be alone and sit with the discomfort that it brings. One of my biggest patterns is that I tend to put more into relationships (romantic and other) than I receive, because of fear of abandonment. I’m working really hard in therapy to change this and I feel like I’m at the best place I’ve been in a very long time. I am not someone who goes on dates to just really date, and I feel like I’ve really gotten a better sense of what my red flags are in relationships

  • life changes: I made a large shift in my life in November (career change, health changes, etc) and I feel like I’ve been on a positive trajectory since then. I feel like I’ve experienced significant changes in the energy around me and that if there was a time for love to enter in, it would be now or sometime this year

  • My Personality: I’m definitely an introverted extrovert. I love to chat and be the life of the party when I’m with friends, but I need my alone time and feel like I’m my truest self when I’m alone. I’m very driven and ambitious, sometimes stubborn, and can be very determined. I am often someone who has been in positions to make difficult decisions and has been in leadership roles. I would like a relationship where I don’t have to take on the burden of that all the time.

  • Struggles: I feel that my trauma and getting burnt out from dating apps has made me a bit bitter when it comes to meeting new people. I am worried that I am not putting myself out there enough because I am afraid of incurring more violent behavior from men. As a plus size woman, I feel like the dating pool has been narrower for me and I haven’t found the people who have shared my values.

Any advice or insights would mean a lot to me. A huge thank you in advance!

Aspects and transits

Sorry if I sound inexperienced or redundant, but I'm definitely trying to learn more. Just wanted to ask how important minor aspects are in the natal chart? I'm expanding my research, but trying to not get overwhelmed or confused by so much information at once... the list I was running down also included up to 6° in transits between luminaries, planets but also chiron, ascendant and MC. I'm curious if I should probably omit the extra stuff for now? Thank you for your time and consideration!

How do you use the pre-natal syzygy?

Hi all -

Wondering how you use the most recent prenatal lunation and why you use it that way - per ancient authors or another reason.

I noticed that today's new moon in Aquarius bears a striking similarity to the new moon in Aquaurius which happened a few days before I was born. In today's new moon, all of the personal planets are in the same signs with the exception of Jupiter and Saturn, but both Jupiter and Saturn are making important aspects to natal planets.

There are other interesting confluences. In today's new moon, Mercury is at the degree of the lunation in the prenatal syzygy. Today's new moon takes place conjunct my natal Mercury. And my natal Mercury is getting ready to station retrograde by secondary progression. Have attached both the pre-birth lunation and today's new moon charts - not too keen on posting my actual birth chart, but I am a Gemini rising, and today's new moon takes place inside the house currently activated by profection (9-Aquarius). Would appreciate any insights. Thanks!
