I am currently in a a Greek and Roman Mythology class at Arizona State University and i have been wanting to continue to grow my knowledge on Astrology.

I was snooping around on Astrosofa.com because i was wanting to learn more about my rising sign, and i was reading on how Leah Goldberg posted an article titled "Virgo Sun Aquarius Rising" and she was discussing how the god Hermes represents Virgo (and Gemini) but the goddess of agriculture, Demeter, also represents Virgo.

Does anyone know how Greek Mythology has to do with Astrology? How much do these two topics have in common?

let me know what y'all think!

As i have been learning about my chart and how to read it, i came across the Astroclick portrait and i noticed that their are 5 planets in Virgo.

these being Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo, Mercury in Virgo, Mars in Virgo and Jupiter in Virgo.

i have been trying to also figure out what it means if i am a Virgo, and if i have both my Sun and Moon in Virgo.

let me know if y'all have any advice on how to learn about the different planets easier, and also what it means to have both Sun and Moon in Virgo!

I wonder if the full moon gives us Big Full Moon Energy™. Or the energy phenomenon could correlate with one's star sign, like maybe it could affect one differently different if they are an Asparagus or a CapriSun, for example. Another reason could be the fact that Mercury is in Gatorade. Just some thoughts!

Someone recommended to use whole sign and I found it much more chaotic so my adhd brain was into the calm order of it. But I don’t know how each one changes your chart. Are your placements the same in both?

Thanks 😊 I dunno if this is allowable. I understand if not. I have questions galore, I’ll just ask another lol

I know this is probably googleable but I find in these subs I get more clarification💜💕

Greetings all,

I've been reading Lilly's 1647 text. I noticed that his zodiac/house/planet are different from other seemingly "traditional astrology" charts. Can anyone tell me why his is different?

Thanks

TLDR: what books would you suggest for someone interested in developing a strong astrological foundation after reading Steven Forrest's Inner Sky?

I'm just wrapping up Steven Forrest's The Inner Sky and am looking for what book or resources to dive into next.

I'm currently working on memorizing the various methodologies for how to understand a natal chart, and would eventually like to work my way to being able to do electional and predictive astrology. I appreciated Forrest's take on the freedom of choice and his process for breaking down and analyzing a chart.

Additionally I am also working on creating flash cards to remember the most important themes of each planet, sign and house. I also found a reddit post that suggested the importance of looking at random charts of famous individuals and then figuring how their chart affected them.

hello everyone!

right now i have a transit moon in conjunct with my natal moon and also a conjunct with transit and natal mercury. Can I call it an activation?

When does activation happens?

I’m confused on how the just past lunar eclipse means endings and the upcoming solar eclipse means starts/beginnings? Some people talk about both in a negative way and that’s confusing.

The eclipse of September falls on my 7th house. The eclipse of 2 October seems to fall on my 8th house, the lunar eclipse of the 17th on my third house. I to be honest am too much of a beginner to know what and how these affect me. Only that I know the 7th house is my love life which isn’t that great at all …

I’m not sure how to link it all together

I am sure this has been asked before, but has anyone taken the Nightline First Year Course? If so, can you share your thoughts, reviews, pros, cons, tips? Is it worth the money? I am fairly new to studying astrology and really enjoy learning it. Thanks!

hi guys, i'm looking for some astrology software for windows, can someone recomend me any?

This is for a school project.

As someone who's experienced in Western astrology, I've taken an interest in the Chinese system. But I'm not sure how to interpret the charts I seen s far such as fire elements, etc. So I'll start off by asking about the 4 pillars.

Are the 4 pillars basically Chinese astrology's counterparts tot he 4 most important placements of Western astrology, the Sun, Moon, Rising Sign (also known as Ascendant), and North Node in Western astrology? Short story short Sun Sign is the sign of each month, NMoon sign varies depending on the specific day, Rising sign is the zodiac sign of your hour of birth, and North Node gives an indication of your future based on what Zodiac sign it is in and what house and many more details.

As far as I know three of the Bazi pillars already each individually stand for a month, day, and hour animal zodiac and I'd assume the 4th pillar the year plays a similar role to the North Node.

Did I get that right? Or is s there far more differences than for an immediate one-on-one to warrant? If so what are the important details that are vastly different from the primary placements of Western astrology the Big 3s (Sun, Moon, Rising) and the North Node?

ive been interested in astrology for a really long time but only now am i really beginning to take it seriously, but where ive been getting stuck is when it comes to like, putting the peices together. Ive been learning all of the different meanings of the houses, signs etc. but i get stuck on adding it all together. like an example ive been working on reading is that: im jupiter virgo in 12th house and 12th house leo, and also jupiter natal retrograde. (forgive me i never know how to properly string it all together lol) so its one thing finding all the seperate meanings of each placement, jupiter virgo means this, leo in 12H means that. but then when you put all those seperate meanings together to interpret it all as one And then being able to actually relate it to current astrological events and making it 'fit in' with the rest of my chart. does anyone have any ideas on where i could start or resources on learning things like that?

The rising sign confuses me because I didn’t realize signs could rise…or move at all. Obviously I get that planets move through the Zodiac, but is the zodiac also moving? I am trying the zodiac, as if I were seeing it in the night sky. I’m not sure if I should be seeing a moving plane, through which planets move on their orbits, or a stationary plane.

What placements or aspects can we look for that would indicate a person with a "strong constitution"? I think that maybe a dated term but what do you look to see if someone is less likely to face physical injury or illness and is able to take on tough physical tasks?

i went on another sub for more information about synastry but was even more confused. say i have 8th synastry with someone i have a lot of cancer placements. depending on both time and birth and degrees could that be switched? i looked at a synastry chart with someone i know and it would look like all my planets would be in their 8th but it’s in their 7th. i also have an aquarius 4th house but their pisces mars in their rather than their aquarius placements

Hello! I just was wondering if anyone can explain what certain terms mean? For example Moon trine Pluto? Or sun conjuct sun? Like what does that mean in a way I can look at my chart and determine if those are true for me?

Does an astrological sign exert its greatest influence on our life right when a planet enters it—or is it strongest when the planet is sitting in the middle of the sign?

Intuitively I've felt that a sign would be its weakest at the edges, the boundaries being blurry near the start and end ... but today I've been having a strong 4th house Virgo sun experiences (my birthday is in 3 days...) In this case, could Virgo be BLASTING OFF hard, if you will? Curious both in my case and in general. Is it like the planet is moving through a doorway, and once it enters the house the energy starkly shifts immediately?

idk if it’s just me, but ever since i’ve been on my healing journey, people will see me as problematic. i get gaslighted, invalidated, made to feel like im crazy. i feel alone, anger.., call out the things other won’t and will deny. i’ve read a lot about pluto 1h plus i have chiron there too, and its made so much sense of my experiences, my childhood. even in my adulthood i’m still getting traumatized as i’m trying to work through trauma. i’ve been called evil, that there’s a demon in me from family members but here i am trying to break generational trauma/curses. i feel like there should be a support group for those with this placement, it can feel were destined to do this shit on our own, that we’re dark, and to be alone.

I found this REALLY cool gothic astrology picture online and I was wondering if the symbols on it were accurate?

I just started studying astrology a few weeks ago and have recently been introduced to the concept of stellium in birth chart. As I understand it, this is a position where three or more planets are in the same zodiac sign and it has the effect of emphasizing that area.

But I still don't know how to interpret it correctly. I have scorpio stellium in the 3rd house and as far as I know, the 3rd house is the house of communication, intelligence, thinking, living environment and close relationships...

If interpreted, does scorpio energy influence the concept of the most this house? And how to know if it has a positive or negative effect?. Additionally, I learn about challenging aspects with inconjuncts, oppositions and squares, I can see the planet neptune in my chart making squares with many different planets, what does this mean for the challenges?

( sorry if anything is wrong, English is not my native language ).

does rising counts in synastry? it’s the 1st house and i’ve felt it doesn’t count in synastry

A few months ago, I was told about something called elective astrology, and I've been trying to understand what it really means (and how it can be used properly) ever since. In short, going by the generally accepted definition, elective astrology means choosing the most "promising" time to take on significant events, such as getting married, starting a business, or even buying a house, and the idea is to align these events with the most favorable astrological conditions - so that you're basically guaranteeing success/harmony/good vibes in general.

For example, when my cousin was planning her wedding, she consulted an astrologer to pick a more "significant" date, hoping it would bring long-term harmony to her marriage. Fair enough! I've also met a business owner who launches new products, events, or promos on specific dates to catch a good astrological tide.

So, if it sounds so nice on paper - why doesn't everyone just do that all the time? You can even use online tools to get all this information nowadays, like for example, https://thepythagoras.com/blog/. Well, disregarding the simple answer of "not everyone is into astrology, lol," is it really fair (to yourself and others) to base the most important life decisions in your life on astrology? And what happens if the chosen "good" time doesn't actually lead to the expected outcomes? Do you then just stop trusting in astrology if things don't go as planned, do you blame yourself or someone else?

You can say that there are lots of stories where people talk about the positive impact that elective astrology has had on their lives (as most people do about astrology in general). At the very least, it can give you a sense of control, which is always great to have. Still, it seems to me like the opposite sometimes - you give away control and make decisions based on a calendar instead of living your life in the moment, at your own pace.

Anyway, I'd like to discuss this with you guys. If you've ever based any major decisions on this - did you feel it worked out well for you? Or do you think over-relying on what some might see as superstition just isn't good for you? I'd really love to hear your takes on this.

Hi, I'm new to astrology and got very interested suddenly to the subject. I started studying it but was confused on some aspects. Please clarify/explain if I'm right/wrong.

The chart has 12 houses. Each house governs a sector of your life that it has control over. The houses have planets and zodiacs aligned in them. The zodiacs have planet lords also. Now considering I'm studying my ninth house which has Venus in Leo, how should I interpret?

I should see first what aspect is 9th house controlling but after that Leo has its ruler as Sun and also there is a Venus. How should I try to read this in a stepwise fashion?

//Sorry if I'm not able to framem it's confusing.
