Sometimes good charts get really complex or karmic when you add these aspects. Do they matter? Or can planetary readings alone present a complete picture?

My placements are so confusing to start of, I'm a Capricorn rising people see me as serious and dry. I have a pokerface most of the time. Also I plan things out a lot which kinda makes me procastinate, it's confusing bc I'm a 4th house aries stellium that means I like to do things immediatly (my placements are clashing). I also hate being a 4th house stellium bc my family never seems to NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE EVERR. I also have placements aspecting family problems. I have three 12th house placements all in Saggitarius, the worse one is in Mercury I think in my head a lot and don't really listen.

When I said I have a pokerface I laugh a lot at the same time even when some things aren't even funny, and sometimes words I didn't mean to say comes out + I stutter a lot. I also have two 8th house placements Leo mars and Virgo vertex. Please someone help with my bipolar ahh chart.

I'm also a water sun! My big 6 consists of 1 water, 1 earth, and 4 fires.

Hi everyone!

I'm still new to astrology, and one thing I've been struggling with is getting a clear overview of what's happening over the coming months (or even a whole year).

As I learn more, I find myself jumping between transits, retrogrades, lunar phases, ingresses, and different charts. I can usually find the information I'm looking for, but I struggle to see the "big picture."

I'm wondering how more experienced astrologers approach this.

Which software or websites do you end up using the most during a typical month?

So if my Scorpio mars is their Scorpio moon and my Taurus moon is their Taurus mars? Like what is the connection like essentially?

This is tropical not Vedic.

Looking at my birth chart I realised my chart ruler only has these hard aspects to points in my chart (asc, dsc, ic, mc) starting with a conjunction to the MC, and there's no aspects to planets what's so ever. I'm wondering, if is that something common? Could have any significance?

Because it's also my dominant planet, idk, it feels bad it's in this bad condition... Anyone has thoughts on this?

Hello! Perhaps this may differ from one astrologer to the next, but when determining whether someone has a day or night chart, what would you weigh more heavily: the actual sunset time or the position of the Sun relative to the ASC/DSC axis in their chart?

Using my own chart as an example:

• Historical data shows that on my date of birth (based on coords of my birthplace), sunset was recorded to be 3 minutes after my birth time. Based on the actual sunset time, my chart would be considered a day chart
• My natal chart shows my Sun being below the ASC/DSC axis by a measure of 0°27’ (DSC and Sun at 4°32’ and 4°05’ respectively). So based on this information, I have a night chart.

So in cases like mine, would you consider my chart to be a day chart or night chart -- and why?

I have Ascendant in late Pisces, and Jupiter in Aries in the first house, not conjuncting the Ascendant or anything.

If I look up interpretation online, they would say my personality (Ascendant) look soft, shy and sweet, sensitive, more passive and gentle and emotional (Pisces). But Jupiter in Aries in 1st house mean I look courageous, initiative, bold and even selfish and headstrong as it expands (Jupiter) those traits in my first impression and outwards personality because it's in 1st house, making those Aries traits obvious to outsider

But Pisces tells me i'm sweet and sensitive and gentle as first impression, but so does bold and strong with Jupiter in Aries in 1st house, which one is correct? How do I blend these two things together?

Years ago I used to be friends with an older woman who is very well versed in astrology and new age type topics. I mentioned to her that while I was driving I thought I saw brief flashes of what looked like blue lighting or static in my vision. I came at it from a medical concern standpoint. But she immediately called it something else. I don't remember what she called it, but she said it was some phenomena, related Uranus or Neptune. I vaguely remember her calling it something like "Uranus _____" or "_____ of Uranus". Do you have any idea what she could have been talking about?

I never thought much of it ever since and I just chalked up whatever I saw to probably just seeing a flash of a blood vessel or glare off of a car or something. I have since lost touch with this person and I don't have a way to just ask her. This was easily 15+ years ago.

Hi yall. I wanted to know if all three of these can be used to get an idea how astrology is or is going to affect your life. And how do all three of these relate or effect the natal chart. Any tips or resources are welcome!

I 26M am dating my GF 25F. We are Indians and astrology (kundali) is big part of pre wedding matching. I personally don’t believe in it. Finding love is hard enough.

My GF believes in it loosely but our families definitely care about it deeply.

TL;DR: Essentially, I don’t know my birth time and it’s causing some scare because if I was born before a specific hour she thinks her family won’t allow us to get married. I’m anxious as hell. I’m scared that the kundali match will be super weak and cause her to end this 😭.

God, I’m so annoyed cause you could do everything right for yourself and your partner and still have to go through this. I’m not sure how I’ll manage if I am actually born at the time that it doesn’t work for her and her family.

Hi everyone!

I'm not necessarily asking about your personal experiences (although I'd love to hear them too!), but more about the general astrological indicators.

In your opinion, which transits and/or Solar Return placements or aspects tend to indicate meeting someone significant or starting an important relationship? Are there any combinations that, in your experience, consistently point to a particularly lucky year, especially when it comes to love?

I'm curious about the astrological patterns you've noticed over the years. Thanks in advance!

I understand an conjunct to the MC could be from the 9th house too, but what I wanted to ask is like I have Mercury conjunct MC with 2 orbs degree in the 10th house. When I read what is written about having Mercury conjunct MC, it’s exactly the same as having Mercury in 10th house, it’s about career in communication, and a job about media and stuff. But if it’s exactly the same thing, what’s the difference between having Mercury conjunct MC vs it’s just in 10th house?

I also have Moon conjunct DC but it’s in 6th house with 3 orbs degree, what I read written about Moon conjunct DC is exactly the same as Moon in 7th house.

Is there anything different if my Moon for example just in 7th house instead of conjunct the DC?

may be irrelevant but I had a doubt- since Wednesday is controlled by planet mercury and since mercury has- trans/ queer/ neutral sexual orientation or qualities then- every task that we would start or do on Wednesday would have queer/ trans - nature or hints of queernes in it? does it make sense? or its illogical

Who do you think is more likely to be correct, my mother who was giving birth, or my family members who were there?

My mother told me I was born somewhere around 12PM to 12.30PM, but my family members told me it's somewhere from 11AM to 11.30AM and it was not 12PM yet when I was born. Is there anyway I could know for sure who is correct, do you think who's more likely to remember correctly? It was my mother, but they were also there One has Pisces rising, the other one has Aries Pisces, but I relate to both when reading descriptions because both would have Jupiter in Aries in first house

from my (somewhat limited) knowledge, it seems like mercury rx isn't really a time to make big decisions or changes. but i'm wondering if the opposite is ever true? like maybe if a business was started during a mercurcy rx, you were born under a mercury rx, etc., is mercury rx actually a good time to close the door on a certain career or business?

if i wanna learn how to read a NATAL birthchart properly, are there any books/ programs(online) that i can opt for? ik how to read birthcharts but i wanna improve my skills (id rate my skills as 3/10 when it comes to birthcharts).

I've always been fascinated with the way birthcharts are drawn and calculated so that's my main focus.

so far ive only studied about planetary hours/degrees/aspects/houses etc

also im not interested in vedic astrology, mostly natal

and ive seen harvards program for astrology but idk if i should check it out or nah

Has anyone recently started/finished their Saturn return?

Mine started earlier this year (Saturn in Aries, 12th house) and I'm bricking it.

I'm wondering what to expect? Or even if anyone has any tips/advice on how to ride it out, I'd be grateful x
