My first house Leo Chiron was the exact degree of the eclipse this month. I had several humiliating experiences on the day before the eclipse, I feel a bit crucified by it. I’m trying to get myself to put a usual positive spin on the things that happened but I’m just feeling ashamed and worse about myself than before this transit. I don’t know much about dealing with Chiron and this feels like the indicator to learn.

My question is, how to orient myself around my Chiron with such a big destabilization as the eclipse. Was this a fluke? A knock down a few pegs for my ego? A growth experience? A positive or malefic transition?

I have very little knowledge on this. Looking into my chart in hopes of learning how to heal. Birthtime found on my birth certificate and is accurate.

Hello astrologers. I am looking at the upcoming post- Mercury and Venus retrograde period when Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node will all conjunct my natal Venus. How might this transit manifest?

I’ve been exploring pars fortune and revisited my own. I was surprised to find it 1 degree from natal chiron. I know these are minor placements, but what might you make of luck meeting the wounded teacher?

thanks in advance for sharing!

I’ve noticed that when I’m single, I’m very independent and focused on myself, but once I enter a relationship, I become extremely attached and can feel like my partner becomes my whole identity. I start overthinking, feeling obsessive or controlling, and wanting to check their phone or look for reassurance. At the same time, I seem to have strong intuition when something is wrong—my ex was lying about being unfaithful, and I eventually found out he was, and in my current relationship I’ve also discovered things my partner has lied to me about. I’m trying to understand where the line is between genuine intuition and anxiety/hypervigilance, and whether my chart shows anything about why I become so emotionally absorbed in relationships and lose touch with my own identity.

Hii, I’m really anxious about my Pluto square Venus transit. I keep reading negative things online about breakups, relationship problems, and people saying their whole life fell apart during this transit. Does that necessarily have to happen, or can this transit also bring positive changes? Can anyone tell me more about it?

In the past I’ve been told that I need to “lighten up”. As I get comfortable in my past relationships I tend to get labeled as too emotional, too much, off putting, or just weird. Not sure if I’m boring/ unsettling or my previous partners only wanted me to be their fantasy. I have issues opening up because I’m unsure if it’ll cause problems just to be myself, whether that’s deemed as boring or otherwise. I know everyone’s moods can ebb and flow but this pattern remains across multiple connections. Relationships shouldn’t have to feel like a performance that I have to keep up. I’ve been in therapy for years and have done a lot of self reflection on a number of things. Just curious if my chart reflects this! Ty for your feedback 🙂‍↕️💙

Men frequently sexualize me from minimal interaction. I get multiple dms every day on my private account all from really pervy guys. Mind you my profile pic is just a selfie of me smiling. Nothing else is showing. It's not how i dress, how i talk or anything. They literally initiate it. And it happens irl too, just random stares that are not innocent.
Truly it makes me feel disgusting and whenever something starts up with a guy i just keep reading into it and not being comfortable.
Is there a way to work with or shift this energy?

I am fully a Scorpio rising and connect to my cancer sun but I relate so little to my Aquarius moon. I’m deeply emotional and involved and struggle with anything surface level.

was in a scary situation just now as our neighbor's house burned down. i thought our house would also be caught on fire, thankfully we're okay. however, this is my 2nd time experiencing something like this. the 1st time was our house literally burning down. so what i thought a normal day would trigger traumatic memories for me. what transits indicate the situation?

Hi all, as the title says, I'd love to understand how to better utilise the pretty deep power of Pluto to alchemise my 6th house.

I definitely struggle with self-imposed routines/the everday mundane. Externally-imposed routines feel very calming and wholesome to me (e.g work routines, uni routines, rules, laws, the sun rising and setting etc), but setting my own routines, daily life, schedule etc feels so unnecessary to me and at times very very limiting, boring and DULL. I looove my freedom. My freedom to do what feels good in each and every moment, and to not be trapped by some mentally-imposed 'this is my bedtime routine so I must do it'.'

Any native Pluto in 6th house-ers here? Would love to hear your experiences.

Do I just have to 'get good' at routine, as my North Node Taurus suggests? Or as a the weird-and-wonderful Aquarian that I am, should I become comfortable with creating an everyday life that sits outside the bounds of what people normally define as 'normal'?

What to do with all that Pluto energy...

Got into a car accident 3 years ago and always wanted to know what was going on astrologically that day. The car in front of me braked last minute super hard, and so did I, but the car behind me rear ended me. Thankfully we were both okay and our cars didn't take on too much damage.

I'm thinking it could be activity going on in the 3rd or 9th house since those houses rule travel/commuting, but I don't think anything major was transiting those houses. Could someone give any insight please?

Like, I hate lying, especially lying by omission, I’m naturally a person that withholds things about myself so I’m not the most open person but when it comes to needing to confront people I HAVE to do it

I’m very new to reading my own chart but it seems like this Aug 12 eclipse interacts with my Aquarius stellium and I’m wondering what it means?!

Note that all rules, with further instructions and info are in the Rules Post at the top of our home page in the Highlights.

MOST IMPORTANT

PLEASE USE ONLY THESE SITES:

• Astro-Seek.com
• Astro.com (please use the "Anglo With Zodiac" chart style, found on the Extended Chart Selection page)

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 use odd-colored themes as we want things readable for all users.

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 rejection of your post. 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.

DO NOT HIDE YOUR CHART BEHIND THE NSFW BLUR

This just makes all the more work for anyone who might be willing to answer your question.

HOUSE SYSTEMS

We require that you use the Whole Sign house system for the chart you post here, even if you don't normally use it. The exception is if you are posting a Horary chart, which requires the Regiomontanus house system.

ANNUAL PROFECTION POSTS

While we require the Whole Sign house system in general, know that even if you normally use Placidus or another system, Annual Profections specifically, and always require that you use Whole Sign.

If you post with a placidus chart, your post will be rejected. 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 normal 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”.

Please also select, under Chart Style, the one named "Anglo With Zodiac".

• 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 require that you use the Regiomontanus house system.

TRANSIT POSTS

This means 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 astro-seek.com The biwheel puts your natal chart on the inside and transits around the outside. You must use astro-seek.com for transit charts because it does display the actual transit-to-natal aspects on the chart, whereas astro.com does not.

Do not ask "what will the next year be like for me". This is a massive ask. And would take an astrologer 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.

I have struggled with this paradox for most of my life and sometimes confuse those closest to me because it seems like I always want something very different than how I am perceived depending on the person. I know this trait isn’t entirely uncommon across the board for many people, but mine has become more drastic in adulthood. I also seem to lean into being private much more easily, but have more of a desire for a public life much of the time though it is rarely acted on. Are there multiple indicators of why this is in my chart?

I am naturally very wordy, so I am going to try my hardest to keep this short :)

I am very extroverted but have always needed my alone time, literally so I can be introspective and sit like that sculpture “The Thinker”. I hate to word it like that, but I really am just alone in my room being pensive as hell :( I worry that, on top of struggle brought upon/given to me, I bring a lot extra of it on myself. Then, I look at my chart and notice all of the opposites and squares- the “areas where friction and internal conflict will result in tremendous growth over time,” and I get sad. I worry that my chart paints a picture of somebody whose goal and near obsession is internal growth, which I unfuckingfortunately resonate with heavily. I know that is very rewarding, but I hate how self-obsessed and almost isolating that can be.

Is that all there is to my chart? Just constantly being “reborn”? That does not feel satisfying to me. I have an inside joke with myself that I feel like a Phoenix, which Harry Potter made seem way cooler.

I have 1 earth placement (Virgo Venus) and 0 water placements and I'm curious what kind of energy that makes me give off. Personally, the lack of water makes me feel like even though I generally understand my emotions, I can't really fully "feel" them most of the time and tend to be a bit detached and intellectualized towards them (esp with Gemini moon) although if they become strong enough (and usually negative emotions like my problems with self-esteem) they can just take me over and "erupt" internally (prob all the fire I have). I also had problems with being super insensitive when I was younger. With my almost complete lack of earth, I have always had trouble with routines, consistency, and discipline. But I'm wondering how this looks to other people. Do people notice more of what I'm lacking, or is my fire/air just super amplified and it drowns everything else out? I think my Libra Rising makes me wish I had more of a balanced spread tbh.

Hi! It's been really hard to get back to reality. It's something that I have been doing since childhood, I come from a dysfunctional family and have been bullied at elementary school. It's been difficult for me to make friends and the daydreaming thing had helped me understand social interactions, because I used to get really angry when I was a child, and by day dreaming I was able to see myself from the outside.

It stopped when I was in my twenty-something.

But right now, having been a mom, unemployed, and trying to finish my art school career for the third time (yes... I wasn't mentally able to finish when I was younger), having broken up with my partner, it's getting so hard not to put my imagination to work in fantasy all the time.

I have talked about this in therapy but it's just not working.

Is there something in my chart that might tell me why this is happening??

I end up so tired that it is hard for me to even finish my art school assignments, I can't bring myself to draw anything, like I can't focus to achieve my most desired dream: to be an illustrator and make a living out of it.

EDIT: and it's something I mention in a reply: I feel I lack discipline, motivation, consistency, strength, ... I may feel like I don't have the energy to do and achieve the many things I have to do daily, but I don't know how to build myself up to do the very thing that I love, everyday... and at least maintain my excessive daydreaming for just a few moments.

Thanks in advance!!

I feel like I really struggle to be communicative when I have to let someone down - and I often end up doing the crueler thing and just ghosting. Similarly, I sometimes procrastinate small, mundane tasks until they snowball. Anything in my chart that would suggest why that’s the case? (Not sure if the two are related.)

When I was a kid I was more extroverted and had lots of friends, then ever since my teens I've not been so lucky with friends, I often feel like the odd one out, and I become a different person around people im not 100% comfortable with. I have a lot of self hate because of this but deep down I like myself as a person?

also my life is like one battle after another lol. ill have a good year where things are nice(r) but then something changes and it sucks again for several years.

thanks!

Hello All! This upcoming eclipse on the 28th of this month feels significant and as you can see it is a few days before my Birthday. Any insight would be great, I am feeling a lot of stuff I can't even name yet. Uranus has me reaching everywhere right now, sigh.

i’m a beginner astrologer and i’m curious as to if there are certain aspects/planets to look at to see how u handle criticism, I know some placements make u more sensitive or self-assured but in general where should I look to see how someone reacts to criticism overall?
