Alois -- I am heartened by your apology to the readership for the tone of your reply to Anne. I hope Anne understands this as an apology to her as well. Although I'd like to point out that, by my observations of the replies yesterday, what made the readership angry was NOT the unfortunate reliance on heterosexual references, but your unfortunate initial responses.

I am very interested in the new planet, KX76. What will be its influence?

I have an intuitive feeling that it will have something to do with Aquarius, but maybe that's wishful thinking, being an Aquarian myself, and feeling that something in the Aquarian psyche/life experience has been unrecognised.

Who decides? How is it decided? Interesting questions...

I once wrote something on this feedback site, asking the chicken and egg question, the influences of planetary configurations and planetary aspects are interpreted by astrologers, (a rose by any other name would smell as sweet) how does this work?

Thanx for this great opportunity to look up so much information so quick. May I ask two questions: What is Chiron in astrology (I know him as a centur only), and what does 'sd' mean in a Solar chart?
Thanks a lot.

confused- you show sun-pluto aspects onyour map. Astronumerics shows sun-venus on the ascendant in Vancouver and Jupiter on the IC. Can you clarify? my birthdate is 6-27-57, 6:02 AM Phoenix, AZ

Varuna observations for the collective mill:
chart 1) Varuna smack dab on the IC (subject's father was a Libra)
chart 2) moon conjunct Varuna (subject's mother was a Libra)
chart 3) venus in exact opposition to Varuna
(subject is a professional relationship i.e. Libra psychologist-astrologer)
charts of 3 siblings) Sun in trine or conjunction to Varuna (parents married for 47 years)
chart 4) mars on ascendant oppose Varuna on descendant (subject has combative marriages)
chart 5) mercury conjunct Varuna (subject frequently socializes with lawyers, a profession I'm associating with the mythology of Libra)
chart 6) Varuna conjunct IC (subject demonstrates a deep instinct for diplomacy
chart 7) Venus trine Varuna (subject is extremely fair-minded)
chart 8) moon opposition Varuna (subject's mother left marriage and then returned)
Quick observation: Varuna often makes strong aspects to the Sun (not so much the moon)
Could we be looking at the outer planet ruler of Libra?

Your site is absolutely terrific, and your freebies very generous! Thank you!!!
I am interested in studying to become a professional astrologer, and, in the process, have been building up quite a library. I have most of the series, The Only Way To Learn Astrology, amonst others . . . HOWEVER, I find I generally do best in a classroom situation, and was wondering if you could recommend any classes in the New York City area. I'm sure they're out there I just don't know where to start. Many thanks.

I checked back here to see if you had made any reply to my effusive compliments and instead was very disturbed to see your comments to Anne. While I am perfectly happy with the old male/female gender divisions and am not a lesbian, so what's the big deal, I think that you could have been far more sensitive in your reply to that customer. She was simply asking a question, and not necessarily bearing a grudge against you--trying to share her views with you, not warp yours. I thought this was a feedback column.

Hello, really enjoy your site - what a wealth of resources!
I'm attempting to get a reading for a person born in Kasper, Wyoming, USA, but that city dosen't come up as a selectable location. Lat. Long are 37N58 122W32. Can this be added to the database?

Dear Astrodienst,

Thank you so much for a truly amazing website. What a wealth of astrological information. The transit reports have been extremely interesting, and quite intriguing for their degree of accuracy. But today I was quite dismayed to see that your reports are set up with the very tired old assumption of heterosexuality. Just because Mars is conjunct Venus, why do you have to assume that means sex drive towards the opposite sex??! I hadn't run across any other of your astro writings that were so blatant about conflating masculine feminine principles with gender, so I had thought you'd moved beyond those outdated assumptions, and was very disappointed to discover I was wrong. Any chance this is something you'll consider updating to reflect the true diversity of the world?

Best wishes, and thanks.

Alois adds: [Jan 31: I have withdrawn my original reply and apologize. My tone was sarcastic. Also, I had tried to explain why we chose to stick with the original wording chosen by the text author, which required translation by the reader into her or his life circumstances. My reply had led to angry exchanges, so I have decided to withdraw it and reconsider the issue. I have also removed two more recent entries which would hang in the air without my original reply. They have reached their purpose of changing my mind about the necessity to edit the text.]

The author of the original text had probably chosen the wording 'with the opposite sex' because in the 1970ies, when Robert Hand wrote it, the sensitivities around these issues were less developed than they are today.
Astrologically, there is a concept of male and female principles, which reach much deeper than biological gender, imbedded in certain planetary archetypes. If two such opposing principles meet, like in your case of a Mars-Venus conjunction the easiest and most concise way to describe this process is by reference to a male-female encounter. This image is chosen without wanting to imply that sexual relationships should be between a man and woman only.

I have gone through the text of the daily horoscope and changed the wording in the twenty cases, where it mentions 'relationships with the opposite sex' in such a way that it is less likely to evoke future comments like yours, Anne. Some of the original sharpness of the image may have been lost in this process, but this is preferable over making a large proportion of the readership angry.

In single person horoscope readings we do not know the sexual gender preferences of the reader. If we knew, we could adapt the wording in such a way that it is satisfactory for all cases. Therefore, in single person horoscopes, a reader may find the occasional reference which seems to imply a heterosexual relationship pattern. In such a case, the deeper meaning of the text is not about a male-female relationship, but about the meeting of the male and the female principles which can happen independent of the gender of the persons involved. We hope our readers can translate this into their personal life circumstances. There are many other elements in the text which imply a certain cultural reference frame and need to be translated into the actual life situation of the reader. We are open to suggestions by our readers about how we can redeem shortcomings of our text, without distorting the original writing of our authors. Constructive suggestions are welcome.

In partner horoscopes, the gender of both persons is known, and Astrodienst has gone through great efforts in its reports and the various translations to make sure that the wording of the report is adapted, depending on the gender of both partners.



I stumbled across Astrodienst and saw Liz Green, and Robert Hand...free horoscopes, and went crazy. Many years ago, Liz and Jeff Green were the most exciting wonderful individuals that I could ever hope to meet. I was taking an astrology class at Astroloty Et Al in the U-district in Washington State. Never got to finish it, but always wanted to meet these people two people as well as Robert Hand. We had heard so much about them in our classes. I have had more fun with these free horoscopes. It has caused me to want to return to the subject I so dearly love. Thanks for your generous gifts and fantanstic information. I will be visiting this site often!!

i have been a fan of astrodienst since it was little more than a chart generation tool. usually when a site adds a lot of functionality most of it is specious filler, but i have to say this site has grown in a thoroughly substantive, valuable way. plus i just love the way [en][de] work. i don't speak german but i love to switch back and forth to see the german and english versions of the text. congratulations on a really terrific site!

Dear Liz and Robert

Having studied your writings for many years, I am delighted to discover the rich resource at Astrodienst, providing such an innovative extension to your books. My family and friends are having a ball looking up the chart data, along with the seminars, chart services and book materials it's a fabulous site. Good on you, and thanks for making such wonderful material available.

Alois adds: We can't, it is not an option in Astrodienst's current charting software.



Dear Liz,
What an astonishing tour de force your Psychological Analysis is!!!! If I ever wondered if astrology was just a toy my doubts have been blasted out of the water.

The moment we draw the breath of life into our body somehow we make a link with the cosmos and our purpose is activated. I have a good working knowledge of the personality tools Myers Briggs and Enneagram and your analysis of me provided by a computer programme [!] was right on the button. Even though it is very personal I have shown it to friends and they confirm its accuracy.

I would like you to know that I am a Christian and that the information you have given me would be regarded as forbidden in some circles of the church but my wise old spiritual director, Jim, says knowledge is power and I had sent away for it by then anyway. Jung was one of the great prophetic voices of our age and indeed of any age. You are carrying on his work in a very appropriate way for this millenium.

The persona charts are fascinating too. I would heartily reccommend them to people and they are free.
In gratitude and delight,
Jennifer Sage. age 55

I took the liberty to correct a few typos (as if I myself did not make enough of those).



Dear www.astro.com.astro-workers,I love your wonderful site very much. But I couldn't find a free report like 5 pages. If this is a new condition it is not suitable for astro.com. I wonder will you write a response me? I plan to order astro-portrait. I am CANCER and my partner is LEO. Is this a suitable relationship? (In my opinion in the traditional astrology it is an impossible relationship. What is your advice?)

Kars, TURKIYE --- Sunday, January 27, 2002 at 14:39 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Re free reports: Have you checked the 'short reports' under 'free horoscopes'?

Re Cancer+Leo, my advice is: Some like it hot. If you buy a red carpet, and never forget to spread it out when he comes, you can put up with a Leo.
Relationships can work for an astonishing range of reasons, and they can fail for a large range of reasons. Sun signs play only a minor role in that process.

Re ordering a report: Wait a bit longer until you can afford the 'Psychological Horoscope' by Liz Greene, it is much more valuable than 'Astrotext Portrait'.



your site is wonderful how could I do without before?

Ich finde doch, dass ihre Aussagen recht schwammig sind und sie sich in ihren Deutungen häufig und heftigst widersprechen. Einerseits deuten Sie Sternenkonstellationen in unserem Fall als vollkommen negativ, andererseits bedeutet eine gleiche Konstellation das exakte Gegenteil.

Mir gefällt Ihre Deutung des Sterns von Bethlehem. Ich denke, Sie zeigen nachvollziehbar, daß es sich um Venus gehandelt haben muß.
Allerdings sollten Sie nicht die Johannesoffenbarung für die Beschreibung von Christi Geburt heranziehen. Johannes beschreibt nicht die Vergangenheit, die Geburt Christi, sondern die Zukunft, also die Wiedergeburt.

a marvellous service. i have studied house systems extensively. quadrants of the celestial sphere have equal volume, identical shape, not equal zodiac content. the house partitions, 3 per quadrant,should logically also divide space equally, i.e. CAMPANUS, Rudhyar's later choice!

I'm in the same case than ashley from Santa Barbara. I went back home for Christmas and ordered some profiles as present for my friends. I changed my addres for the presents to be sent to my parents' home and now that I switched again to my address in Japan all tthe data I had stored in my account seem to be vanished out! Please help me to recover them!

Alois adds: I am afraid I do not understand your problem. To login to a registered account, please go to the 'my astro' page and login. For login you have to use the email address under which you had registered. Whether it is your current real email address or not is irrelevant. Once you are logged in, you can use 'edit profile' to change your email address to your current one.

Please understand: you should NOT REGISTER with your new email address. This would create a new empty profile without natal data. You need to LOGIN with your old email address. If you just REGISTER under a new one, you will of course not see your OLD data.

The reason why astro.com uses an 'email address' as the main identifier for a user profile are twofold:
1) email addresses are unique, there are no two identical ones for different persons. Our users do not have to memorize names under which they have registered; they will usually remember their email address.
2) If a users forgets his astro.com password, he can have it emailed. For this second feature to work, the email address should be real. Just as an identifier for an account, the registered email address does not have to be real, it can be pure fanatasy.



Help! I cannot access my account with all of my data:( I just lost my job so I switched my account to my home email address, and now it seems to be defaulting to an old account that i must have started with that address- is there anyway that i can get to my astro data?
thanks so much for anything- ashley

when a person dies its believed that the killer planets(2, 7 or 8th house lords or occupants)are in action.(marakas)when an earth quake kills 100000 people, do all have killing planets influence or should this be explained by some other way..?

do reply..

I read my personal horoscope, and it automatically assumed that I had a lover. However, I am without one at the moment. It didn't include the possibility that I didn't have one, and I'm sure I entered in all of the information correctly. That's my feedback.

I was surfing the net for an empheris and was directed to your site from another website. So you could say I came across Astro accidentally. But we all know there's no such thing as coincidence. Thanks for the depth of your information. I've sent your url to my friends and family.

Could you please tell me what reports/readings etc are available in your Free Horoscopes section for an event? The ones I click on tell me that the date needs a gender entered.
Thanks.

Linda A (visiting www.astro.com)
El Dorado, Australia --- Wednesday, January 23, 2002 at 07:33 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thanks for the feedback. Reading a chart of an event is a much more limited matter than reading a birth chart of a person. A birthchart of a person contains the full amount of possibilities imbedded in a human being, combined with the particular astrological patterns presiding over the moment of birth.

When you call up a chart for a particular event, the focus is much more limited, if you know about the kind of event (e.g. start of a particular business, purchase of a property etc). It is much less interesting for astrological writers to write textbook interpretations for event charts, than for birth charts of persons with their rich range of human possibilities. Astrodienst is not in possession of text for event charts which we could use. I do not know whether such text has ever been written down by any good astrological writer. If we could find such textbook material of good quality and acquire the right to use it on our website, we might extend our service in that field.

You can of course 'fake' the event chart into a person, by assigning a gender, and then get the child's reading for that chart (or an adults, if the event happened several years ago). Then you can try to translate the child's reading to your particular event. At least, it will give you some ideas about the cosmic patterns presiding over your particular event date.



First visit to your site, and your reading for me today, Tuesday, January 22nd was so accurate! It was as if you knew exactly what I am going through currently in my personal life! I had recently registered for a free daily horoscope from another site, but unfortunately, they do not even come close.

God bless your skills!

Jesabel (visiting www.astro.com)

Hi again!
I have a disturbing thought. For the longest time, I felt that something particular, something extremely important, will happen directly to me. An event so drastic that it might change my entire life. I even pinpointed that day (using my less than strong intuition)...the day being Febuary 22, 2002, or 2/22/2. I first thought that I would get married on that day. Hoever, recent circumstances allowed me to remain ever loving to my partner, without the marraige ceremony.
So today I decided to take a look at my natal and transit chart for that day.
To my surprise, transiting Mars (in the 11th hs) opposes my natal Pluto. What's more noticeable to me is that transiting Pluto (in the 7th hs) opposes transiting Saturn (in the 1st hs) with an 8-9 degree orb.
ALSO, transiting Pluto makes a sextile to my natal Mars. And Chiron is in the 12th hs, in the sign of Taurus.
What can you tell me about this forthcoming, self-significant day? I would REALLY like to know.

Yours Truly in Every Sense,
Will Stich

Hello, Astrodienst Team!
I wanted to thank you all for creating such an informative website. There seems to be a limited supply of information on the subject, however, the AstroDienst.com Team has shared what they know. That helps the beginner and intermediate student of astrology, as well as the dabblers.
A quick change of subject: I recently read a book called Astrology, What's Really In the Stars? It critized the 'science', or what the author named, 'religion'. (What does Astrodienst.com call the Study of Astrology?) The author also made several factual claims on the mythology of the study of the stars. There was a lot of truth in what the author wrote. He asked several questions on the subject and whole-heartedly critized it to the teeth.

Astrodienst Team: What is Astrology to you?
I ask myself the same question. There are several answers, however, the author of Astrology, What's Really In the Stars? disagrees on all answers basing its evidence on statistics and long-term studies.
So please take a look at the book and write back to me with some feedback because I (a lonely student of astrology) am questioning the entire situation. Confusion sets in.

Thank you,
Will Stich

P.S.
Recommend any Astrological Forums and Lectures coming to my area? (Austin, Texas, USA)

Alois adds: Astrology for us is something that we do, that we practice, in the particular style that we prefer (there are other possible styles). I myself am not much interested in its theory. If your are interested in its theory, I recommend that you read a few books on the subject and subscribe to some magazines, e.g. The Mountain Astrologer.

For me, it is the same as with sex: Some do it, some just talk about it. Also there, I have always found its practice much more interesting than its theory. I could also have said 'food', 'reading literature', 'bicycling' or 'computer programming' instead of 'sex'. I apply the same attitude to all my favorite pasttimes. I am a practical person, and leave the philosophy to the philosophers.

Talking about philosophers: my coworker Dieter Koch, who is a fully trained philosopher, has recently published a new book which answers all your questions: Kritik der astrologischen Vernunft. Eine Klärung des Anspruchs der Astrologie, Antworten der Astrologie an ihre Kritiker. (ISBN 3-931806-03-0)
[engl: Critique of Astrological Reason. An explanation of what astrology claims, and answers of astrology to its critics.]
You might have to learn German to read it, but it's worth it.



I forgot to mention that you have a truly great website. You have a true humanitarian sense to help people as well to have a business.

My chart seems somewhat accurate, however I can't help but feel that it is off kilter for some reason. My Neptune is in the 5th house but after some research, I can't help but feel it is in the 4th house, because of the way my father was to me and that I always felt adopted or born into the wrong family. Could it be that it on the cusp? Also my Venus is squaring my mid-heaven. Are there any articles on yoour website about the squaring the mid-heaven, it seems prety horrible the way my career is going. Are there any articles regarding the different mid-heavens?

I just read your feedback to Markus Prokott from 20st January. I always find it very positive and encouraging that your approach to astrological interpretations has been a progressive approach as you read the planets from a deep psychological level and which is connected to mythology as well. It’s really very uplifting to see that you are dealing with astrology from such a profound insight and knowledge.

Earlier astrology has dealt with it in a more “black and white” way which is kind of
very gloomy. But thankfully the time quality has changed and at least some astrologers,
like Liz Greene, have shown astrology in a way which is most helpful for anyone’s psychological and spiritual growth in a very encouraging and I think rightful way. I read her book on “Saturn” long time back and it is amazing. I wonder if there is any other astrologer who came to such insights.

I cannot understand one thing , that in India the outer planets, like Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have not been yet included into the interpretations. Plus the interpretations are still in this “black and white” image: Saturn is negative and certain planets together give a negative result and certain houses are considered “bad” and so on. Due to this I feel reluctant to approach any astrologer for any studies. I feel somehow India has missed to “update” their way of looking at astrological symbols. Yet, India is supposed to have the most ancient and profound knowledge in astrology. As far as predictions are concerned
astrologers claim to be able to be very accurate. Nevertheless I feel reluctant due to the very fact that I feel that the psychological insights or a higher perspective is missing.

I would very much appreciate to know your opinion to it. Thank you.

It is very frustrating that many of the astrology books you refer to in your articles section are not available in English! The books always seem to be so incredibly interesting - probably because they are out of reach! Why isn't somebody translating these seminal texts! Is German astrological writing too advanced for we few English speakers to comprehend?

liebes astro-team,

zunächst einmal ein dickes dickes lob für eure seite... - muß ja auch mal ausgesprochen werden, wenn man euch seit geraumer zeit so ziemlich regelmäßig besucht...

doch jetzt war ich erstmals unzufrieden:
am 20. januar fand auf eurer seite der ingress sonne wassermann irgendwie nicht statt!?

wann wäre dies gewesen?
und: wann war der letzte neumond, auch den hab´ ich wohl verschlafen...

lieben gruß

Ansonsten empfehle ich: Homepage, linke Spalte -> gedruckte Ephemeride. Dort das A neben der Jahreszahl anklicken, dann findet man auch die Mondphasen. Sie erscheinen als Aspekte Mond zu Sonne. Der Neumond war am 13.1. um 13.28 UT. Am Sonntag nachmittag um halb drei sollten Sie eigentlich nicht geschlafen haben.

Hallo Leute,
ich wollte nur mal schnell ein paar liebe Grüsse an alle Astrologieinteressierten loswerden.
Deutsch scheint ja hier nicht die dominane Sprache zu sein, aber in der Hoffnung, daß manch einer ganz deutsch kann, möchte ich mal loswerden, daß ich die Site total gut finde !
Ich schaue fast täglich in mein Tageshoroskop und benutze AstroPartner um eine grobe Einschätzung zu haben, ob es mit meiner neuen Flamme klappen könnte.
Privat habe ich mir schon einige Bücher zur Astrologie gekauft und weitgehend gelesen. Leider fehlt mir die Zeit mich intensiver damit zu beschäftigen und so komme ich immer wieder auf dieses Site zurück.
Schade nur, daß die Auslegung der Aspekte so abgespeckt wurden !
Danke für diese ausgezeichnete Site mit ihren Diensten und Hilfen.
In diesem Sinne alles gute und weiterhin viel Erfolg, euer MacJigger

Hello

I'm writing from french to english, so forgive my mistakes, please - so, I want to know why Ceres, the biggest asteroid, hasn't yet been used on this site. Studying it for 2 years personnally, i can say now its action and symbolism, related to Virgo and the sixth house, can be revealed as very important in astral charts when placed in Virgo sign, in conjonction with the Sun and others meaningful places. Like Virgo, it deals with rationnal intelligence and some faculty of good judgment, but also criticism and introverted anger, doubt, incertainty, the need to take care of others and to be helpful somehow, through education, social services, and ecology...etc. It is a really rich symbol of growing civilisation, and i repeat myself saying its action has to be recognized, as important as Pluto for example, though in a very much more discreet way.
In France, there's an excellent book dealing with this subject called: Ceres - mistress of Virgo by Jean de Larche.
Is there any book on this subject in England (or in US) ?
Bye.

First time in ages that I have visited your site . I feel obliged to recommend your homepage to anyone else visiting Astrodienst. Quite, quite remarkable - the piece by Liz Greene on 'Wounding and the will to live' is one of the most interesting things I have read in a long, long time - and as I spend most of my time with my n nose in a book (not always astrological!), I am a fairly good judge!
A great site - for 'thinking' people as well as those seeking hope for some reason or other.

Alois adds: The chart drawing has the day of the week listed before the date, as a two-letter abbreviation. It is however not of any importance for astrology.



Just wanted to let you know that I quit reading your horoscopes a long time ago because I found them to be very negative. They have a doom gloom feel to them. Everything I read is cautious and generally depressing. Even if there is something good to say in a forecast it is immediately followed by a caution. I just logged back on to check it out, to see if it was just the time period or something, but no they were still just as depressing and negative as ever.
Lighten up ! You might be interested in reading the anti-thesis to your horoscopes, just for fun. It wouldnt hurt to read a few of these other horoscopes that I'm going to suggest, if for nothing else but to put a smile on your face. It also couldnt hurt to use a little of this influence in your writings.

Wenn z.Bsp. der Mond mit Pluto im Sextil

oder Quadrat) oder müssen es mehrere negative
Aspekte sein, bevor ein Planet verletzt
ist???

Alois adds: Your 1st question: I do not know the answer. There are always astrologers who do their own special thing. Mertz was one of them.
Your 2nd question: yes, they do. Often the birth time is unknown however, or the various puppies are not properly identified at the time they are born, even when the birth is observed. For my own dog Ilia, I lack the exact birthtime too, just know the night in which it happened. She is a Gemini and talks a lot, probably a Pisces Ascendant (29 May 1997, about 2.30 am, Oberurnen, SWTZ).



Thank you for a very informative site!
I am having some confusion with Nodes: is 'true node' (which features in your Free Chart section) the same thing as 'north node'? and is Dark Moon the same thing as 'south node'? I could not find answers in the Astro Dictionary, so thank you for your consideration in this matter!

Hallo, sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich habe erst seit ein paar Tagen den Astrodienst per Internet kennen gelernt. Die Aufmachung und Übersichtlichkeit des Angebotes finde ich sehr gut, auch das Angebot kostenloser Horoskope zum Hineinschnuppern. Erst dadurch kann man sich ein wirkliches Bild von dem Produkt machen, das man kaufen kann. Ein Problem habe ich allerdings, und dazu hätte ich gern eine Antwort: nach Eingabe meiner Daten für ein Probehoroskop stellte ich fest, daß die Horoskopberechnung ausschließlich nach der Methode Placidus erfolgt u. daher die Deutung sich deutlich von der unterscheidet, die mit der Methode Koch zu erhalten ist. Es sind Deutungen dabei, die absolut daneben sind, weil sich ganze Häuser verschieben. Daher meine Frage:
gibt es bei Ihnen die Möglichkeit, das sehr ansprechende Angebot an Horoskopdeutungen zu nutzen und dabei aber aber auf ein Horoskop, berechnet nach Koch, zu beziehen? Anderenfalls ist Ihr Angebot für mich wenig nützlich, was ich sehr schade fände. Gerade die Horoskope nach Liz Green würden mich sehr interessieren.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort

hello I had a brief question on your view on reincarnation and
went to spiritual pages for feedback.I waa born normal then had accident then brain
damage.The brain does not register much although once smart like the person disappeared
and left a blank space.Like the person was taken out of the head and a blank feeling was left.
Was regular human walking across
the street got hit by byclist then faculties were not there.Like head
disappeared just went blank.Like the normal contents of normal
human head that make us human being went blank.Lost my
original human head that made me the person born as and became blank.Lost faculties and
human intelligence and personality and just became blank like
brain was not there just dissolved and didnt connect to anything.As brain faded so did the
person.Lost the person born as because the person is in the
head right.Dont know why have to be this blank person when am supposed to be person born
as a normal human like everyone else instead was blanked out.Anyway wonder if there
is reincarnation and how can i be born human again with the dame parts as everyone else a
regular human with
normal human components and no brain damage or fried circuitry just a person.How does this
work.How does one attaina normal human birth with normal human intelligence thought this
was a
given just to be normal human with normal human brain not be toasted.One minute was
normal with all normal human faculties the next was just shelled out all faculties reduced
brain sort of just wasnt there.Also if pass with dementia how can one go on.and get the normal
human form again with normal human head that contains human not blankness.
Why does someones head have to be reduced like this.Thanks for any feedback.Know these
are odd questions.Wanted to get
spiritual perspective.sincerely maura

What a gift, this website. I check the dailys often and the map has helped me to manually identify channels for the spirit plays that I write for children. When I figure out how to express the whole process, I'd be glad to share it with other creative writers. I've shared the website with many people. Many beloved friends on the island have died in the last two months, all different ages and I'm noticing some serious mental overload and friendship burnout. I have a Gemini moon and learned a lot about the challenges of Gemini energy. I'm grateful to be able to pass on awareness of this to others in this Saturn in Gemini phase. Passing the website on to help others create awareness is such a blessing. I don't stay on long because of the electromag overload. But the short hits are great. Thanks again.

Dear Astrodienst:

I've reviewed the Long Term Forecast report I recently ordered and was a bit disconcerted by it. According to this report, I'm headed for a very rocky road and have not much to look forward to for the next 5 years. Am I misinterpreting this or what??? Does this report take into account the aspects I was born with as an optimistic person?? I've basically decided not to pay attention to the report in order to keep my wits about me. Please advise.

Sincerely,

hello,

i really enjoy your site. i visit it almost every day find a lot of insightful and useful information. thank you!!

one thing i've noticed is that your interpretations have a predominately heterosexual perspective. if a partner or love relationship is mentioned, for example, it is assumed to be with someone of the opposite sex, as though intense and meaningful relationships between people of the same sex are not possible or valid.

on the other hand, i am glad that it is possible to enter information for 2 people of the same sex and get very interesting accurate readings (for example in the free horoscopes section).

yet i would like to hear your response to my concern above. thank you again for your great service.

For centuries and centuries astrologers have delivered valid chart interpretations and psychological sketches in which people would recognize themselves. They used to explain jealousy, faith, wrath through a seemingly logical system which -of course- never mentioned Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Today, these planets are said to be the most powerful ones and they seem to explain everything (major crisis in life etc.) This disturbs me a little bit from a logical point of view. Doesn't it mean that WHATEVER you say you can find a seemingly valid astrological justification ? How could astrologers from the past explain all the events we regard as the consequence of the influence of these planets ? Their predictions should have been very bad if they did not have what we regard as the key to everything ? And yet, their predictions were considered as admirable... This question is not a provocation but the expression of my curiosity.

I have been unable to find much info on progressed retrogrades going direct and vice versa. I have Jupiter in Sag. going retrograde by progression in 2003 and retrograde Saturn in Leo going direct by progression in 2004. What kinds of events, influences are these things likely to bring about? Thanks for the great service you provide with this Web site.

I'm curious about astrochartography in context of my birthchart.

I was born 2/12/67 which makes me an Aquarius with the generation planets like Uranus and Pluto in Virgo. According to a Map, I created with my exact birthtime, I have My Uranus Midhaven going directly over San Diego, which puts that about 30 miles or so east of LA where I live. My Chiron IC is just west of me and I'm sandwiched between the two lines. The Pluto Midhaven is further east. About 50 miles east of Las Vegas.

Seems like a lot of planetary influence in my location, but only lived here a little less than a year. Any insight?

you may want to make a correction on the neptune conjunct ascendant entry. it reads, There is a great need for your sympathetic understanding, and you do not have the right to turn down anyone who extends a hand for help. yes, there is a great need for neptunian sympathy, but do you really want to advise neptunian people that they don't have the right to NOT martyr themselves? let's face it, martyrdom is already built into their temperament. setting appropriate boundaries and learning when to say no is often a major life lesson for them, and telling them that they have no right to do so strikes me as potentially harmful. in the more extreme cases, it's like telling a pyromaniac, you have a gift for lighting fires, and the world needs your warmth.

but i also think you're offering a great service for the astrologically inclined. math never was my strong suit, and your site has saved me untold hours of tooth-grinding. have a happy thursday.

Okay, I'm an idiot today, or that Pluto conjunct my Chiron is obscuring my Pluto Mercury conjunction. I was typing the birthtime wrong. 2:53, not 2:23. After manual overriding with the time, to get it up to the ascendant, I realized that, despite checking twelve times, I had typo'd. My complements on your pinpoint acuracy. Thanks, Calyndha

Wonderfully generous free site. Except for the inability to adjust for errors. A birthdate of 7/24/50, 2:23 pm CST. Kansas City, MO, USA, prints up on your screen with Ascendant at 20 Scorpio. This is not the case. The ascendant is actually 26Scorpio 23. Thus all the other interactive things are off. Is there a way to manual override or redo computational errors?

Hello you wonderful people at Astro Dienst,
Your website is great and has been so helpful. However, with my mercury/jupiter opposition to neptune (1952/03/22), I need a bit of help with technical things.
I would like to do a horoscope for events. For example, Dec 19 2001 - 12:05 pm Toronto Canada but I get messages saying I must enter a gender and/or that no descriptin will be available when I tried to do events.
I would like just the chart of the event as I can interpret it.
Would someone please be kind enough to tell me what I need to do? There are no Help menus that I can see to click on but again, that mercury/jupitor opp neptune could be working away.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate your site.

I had a free profile of my daughter done from your site. It stated the Ascendant was Virgo. Could you please recheck that for me. Her name is LaVonda DOB 08-05-71 8:12 am St.Louis, MO USA. Two other astrology websites stated the rising was Leo. I'm inclined to believe this seeing that I was born 07-27-55 at 8:10am in the same place as my daughter and my ascendant is also Leo as stated by you and others. Thanks in advance for clearing up the discrepancy.

Alois adds: Our calculation is of course correct. Both dates have daylight saving time, and the effective timezone is 5 h west of Greenwich. Your Ascendant is 29 Leo. If you were born 5 minutes later you would have Virgo Ascendant.

Keeping the time of the day constant, the Ascendant progresses about 1 degree per calendar day, less with slow rising signs like Leo, more with fast rising signs like Pisces. Your daughter has her birthday 9 days after you, and her Ascendant is 6 Virgo.

The Ascendant is a fact of nature, the degree of the tropical zodiac rising at the eastern horizon at a given moment and place. There is no space for opinions, or for majority voting about it. It can only be computed right or wrong. Astrodienst does this usually right, and we happen to understand what we are doing (see below, question of Sidereal time).

First off, I would like to say that I just love your sight. I find it to be the best on the web and am constantly refering people to you.
I was just wondering if you might consider adding an option that would just give a snapshot of the current plantary positons, along with degrees etc. This would be helpful, as the transits option does not carry the numerical degrees. One would not have to start a new profile in MY ASTRO everytime the positons needed to be viewed with out the encumberance of the natal plantes in the Transits option. I hope im not off base here!! THanks for reading!! Peace.

Once or twice a month I look at my dayly personal horoscope here. Especially if I have plans, I want to realize succesfully. Althoug I had my personal Birth Horoscope made her in DK years ago, I also had the free one at Astrodienst.
And the danish and astrodienst matched very well, and the dayly horoscope have been very good to read each time. I also got the birth horoscopes for close family members and could see they were very well matching my view of the familymembers.

It's a real good service. I recommend you to all who are just a little interested in astrology. Thank you for this free service.

i was born at 8.45am in auckland, new zealand
(26th May 1970) and according to you, the sidereal time is 0:36:08 and i am gemini rising,
but other sites i have been on list the STsidereal time as 10:39 and have me down as sagittarius rising! i KNOW i am gemini rising, and that your site is the best there is, but how can there be such discrepancies in the times?? i have tried to calculate the sidereal time myself, but it's just too complicated for me...

Alois adds: I am happy to answer this question in detail.

We cannot explain the incorrect output other websites or so-called 'professionals' are producing. An astronomical calculation can only be right or wrong. The result can be verified by observation. Our calculations are right, and - contrary to many others who are active in the astrology business - we happen to understand what we are doing in the field of astronomical computing. For further reference, please see the Swiss Ephemeris documentation files.

The topic of sidereal time is addressed in chapter 15 of the Programmer's Reference. There is not much to talk about it, it is just a complicated algorithm. Here is the source code. For sidereal time, please scroll to line 1387. As the comment in source file mentions, the algorithm originates from page B6 of the Astronomical Almanach.

For all calculations of Swiss Ephemeris, we name the scientific sources either in the documentation files or in comments imbedded in the source code. You are welcome to look the references up and to verify the correctness of our implementation.

There are only few astrological programmers now on this planet who do NOT use Astrodienst's Swiss Ephemeris software tools. Of course, using a good tool does not guarantee correct software. A power drill in the hands of an incompetent worker can do a lot of powerful damage. The same is true for software tools. There are more ways to go wrong than to go right. So even a software package labeled with 'Swiss Ephemeris inside' can be wrong. If in doubt, double check with www.astro.com. Then you know.

Seriously: You refer to the attempt to modify the Solar return chart by going somewhere else. I believe that fate - or call it the unconscious - is not so easily cheated. Wherever you travel, you take youself with you, including your shadow.

If you move somewhere permanently, the effect of relocation will be felt more. But also then you cannot change your birth chart, you carry it with you.

I presume this is Julian Calendar (one can not easily be sure, many history books have converted pre-Gregorian dates to the Gregorian calendar, to confuse everyone). When you enter his chart data, add 'jul' behind the year. That makes him a Taurus with a Pisces Ascendant.

Sorry to ask this again, but I feel it is important...

I recently purchased both an Astro*Text Forecast and a Transits for the Year report. An
obvious feature in my chart is a transit of Pluto Conjunct Moon.

The Transits for the Year resport shows this transit as a constant, continuing feature, having begun in 1996 and will be with me until 2008). On the other hand, the
Astro*Text Forecast report shows it recurring on and off for a few weeks at a time over
these years.

I am confused... is this transit a constant concern or an intermittant one?

Thank you.

Alois adds: You must have misunderstood something, even a Pluto transit cannot last longer than 2 years. But we use a different computing style in Transits of the Year and the daily Horoscope on one side, and Astrotext Forecast on the other side. I will try to explain a little.

Astrotext Forecast considers only when the moving planet is within a 1-degree orb. When it goes out of orb, the transit ends, and it appears repeated when the planet goes retrograde and comes into orb again.

The first two reports make a more detailed analysis of the motion pattern, and consider transit to be active from the first entry into orb up to the last exit. In the graphics, the times in orb are shown as a solid line and the times in between as dotted lines. A transit theme is really over only after the last exit.

Both approaches can be considered valid. Transit cannot be nailed down so precisely, e.g. the choice of orb would be a subject for endless discussion. What is really reliable is the date when a transit is exact. The building up period before and the calming down period after can vary.



My long term tranists are not showing up until April of this year. Whats up? Thanks Elizabeth

I was interested in your relationship charts and the travel chart showing the planetary influences in different parts of the world. It would be interesting to combine this information into a single chart.

That is where should a couple live inorder to live long and prosper? Where on the planet would a couple be most likely to have a strong and harmonious relationship, etc.?

If you ever create a chart like this I would be most interested.

thanks very much for your knowledge,organization and generosity for this web site and a very happy new year!I have a question.How do you calculate the part of fortune in your program?The way I calculate is Ascendent plus Moon minus the sun, and and it is the different point in my horoscope as oppose to your method.thanks for the reply.

I have had several other charts tell me that I am an Aries rising. Now two other charts tell me I'm a Pisces rising. I am confused.

Alois adds: Too bad for those who are responsible for the other charts.



The improvements that you continue to make are absolutely excellent! I have an old computer and even with reducing the size of the wheel, I'd either lose the printed matter on the side, or the information was so small that I couldn't read it. So I'd end up copying the chart by hand onto paper. Arrrggghhh! Now, I get exactly what I've been trying to get. Thank you, thank you!

Alois adds: The problem comes from the fact that all web browsers print only with screen resolution to your printer, making the images too large and not using the much higher resolution the printer is capable of.

There is an easy work-around:
Please choose the largest possible online graphics format for your chart (150%), then click on the image with the RIGHT mouse button and select 'save image as'. Save it to your local hard disk under a file name like 'mychart.gif'.
Now start a suitable graphics program on your PC, and open this GIF-file with it. Use the features of the graphics program to print it with high resolution to your printer, scaled to the size of your paper.



Dear Dr. Alois and Dr. Liz Greene,

Thank you for your kindness.
If I should reach stardom either in the U.S. of A. or in Hong Kong in either 2002 or 2003, I will do my bit to promote your works worldwide and maybe, who knows, I might hop aboard your organization as an investor.

Thank you for loving me.

Dear Astrodienst,
I just want to thank you BIG TIME for offering this very high quality website with its free horoscope options. I have recommended your website to many many others.
I feel you are very generous in your offerings and it touches me that not everything in life has to have high price. I sense you are not only about making money but also about staying in touch with your human values and helping other people. You are a true Aquarian Age company. Thanks for showing business can be human after all!!!
wishing you all a shining star to watch over you,
best wishes

Hello. I was looking on your site but you appear to only offer bound reports. I would prefer to receive a report through e-mail. Do you have any plans to offer this or is it possible to request an electronic report? Thanks. Maria

Maria (visiting www.astro.com)

Alois adds: Like the book industry, we believe in the value of printed and bound hardcopy. A few sheets out of your inkjet printer make the content printed on them look much less valid than a printed booklet.

We offer lots of electronic reports, but they are all for free. See 'Free Horoscopes'.



RE: Alois answering query about solar and lunar eclipse's.
Thank you for your detailed and informed response. Let it be said - I am quite impressed
by your commitment and dedication to this site,
even the energy you so obviously invest in
replying to the worthy majority of feedback in the guest book. I also note a particular innate
ability with the written word, Alois. Your
dry wit is among the more amusing reading on
this propoganda machine known as the Internet.
Back to your words regarding solar/lunar eclipses. I have an understanding of the solar eclipse rating alongside a visitation by a comet as a sign of catastrophe or immense change, as per the Ancient Understandings. Is there a
general astrological effect that can be applied
to the occurance of a lunar eclipse, and solar
eclipse respectively? Ie - When Mars is in X aspect with Venus, X occurs. When Uranus turns Retrograde and aspects natal Sun in sextile X will happen. When a solar eclipse occurs, X will happen. Lunar eclipse, X ...etcetera. Thanks for your time. Hope my writing doesn't come across
too long winded! Ta.

Wir Haben gute erfahrungen mit astroclickreisenkarte.

Was sind die moglichkeiten um eine AstroClick Reisenkarte mit Erklarung fur die ganze Familie zu bekommenan zu fordern (bzw 3 in 1). Das heist das man in einem blick erkennen kan an welchen Orten allen familenmitglieder zusammen die besten Chancen hat ohne das man die individuellen karten nebeneinander und erklarungen selber kombinieren mus.


Was heist es wenn in einem gebiet gar keinen 'Linien' laufen

Perhaps you should add a disclaimer, making it clear that astrology most certainly is not a science (as you falsely claim) and has never been shown to be anything but the ancient vague guessing game that it is. The glaring innaccuracies in my own personal chart were most likely brought on by the incorrect listed location of the planets at the time of my birth. Scientific illiteracy is not something you take advantage of for personal gain.

Stan (visiting www.astro.com)
--- Thursday, January 3, 2002 at 17:56 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: There are many possible definitions of science; on is 'a body of organized human knowledge and practice of extending that knowledge'. Astrology qualifies certainly as a body of human knowledge, though you may be too narrow-minded and caged in to a mechanistic world view to see that.

You express doubts about our qualification in computing correct planetary positions. I recommend that you study the Swiss Ephemeris documentation on our website. We happen to know a bit about ephemeris calculation. You apparently don't even understand the coordinate systems involved.



I just wanted to thank you Liz and co. for your awesome web-site and extensive knowledge. It's obvious you enjoy sharing your thoughts and knowledge with others as you don't find many other sites on the net as intricate and as useful, especially to students studying Astrology such as myself, unless they can make some money (which is what we all need to do in some form anyway I guess.
I have found it extremely generous and insightful though and wanted to express my gratitude to you. With people like you and those that learn from you, hopefully we can give something to others out there, a greater understanding of ourselves and others and what a world or more appropriately what a universe we live in and how to make the most of it. thanks again.

Hello there. Several weeks ago I was advised at the top of the entry for Personal Daily
Horoscope that a Solar Eclipse was forecast for
that day. In brackets was the letter (u). And
just a couple of days ago a Lunar Eclipse was
forecast, with the letter (a) in brackets.
Could you please explain the meanings of these
letters, respectively? Thanks for your time, and
Happy New Year to all at AstroDienst!

Toronto (visiting www.astro.com)
--- Wednesday, January 2, 2002 at 23:17 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The other way around, the 'u' was with the Lunar eclipse which was just a 'penumbra' eclipse, i.e. the Moon entered the half-shadow cone of the earth but not the core shadow. It is hard to notice such an eclipse. Other Lunar eclipses can be total (t) or partial (p). I chose the 'u' for umbra, the latin word for shadow. For further information, please type 'penumbra eclipse' into google.com

The Sun can have total (t), partial (p) or annular (a) eclipses. An annular eclipse is a ring-formed eclipse: When the Moon is too far away, its disk is too small to cover the solar disk. At the peak time of the eclipse, a ring of the Sun's disk is still visible.

Those astrologers who work with eclipses do not pay much attention to the visible quality of it; they also do not consider whether someone is on the path of visibility of a solar eclipse or far away from it. All they are interested in is whether an eclipse happened or not.

As a personal experience a total Solar eclipse is a significant event, and worth the trip to see it. Do not bother with partial or annular ones.



Hallo, Herr Treindl!
Wird in absehbarer Zeit von AD erwogen, Lillith genauso in die Deutungstexte (Radix, Combin, Transite...) zu integrieren wie die üblichen Planeten? Ich würde mich sehr darüber freuen.

Alois adds: Eigentlich planen wir das nicht. Unsere Deutungen stammen auch im kostenlosen Bereich von renommierten Autoren und repräsentieren deren astrologische Methodik zum zeitpunkt, als sie die entsprechenden Lehrbücher verfasst haben. Wenn darin keine Lilith enthalten war - in den USA ist dieses Objekt auch völlig ungebräuchlich - so sehen wir keinen Anlass, es nun hinzuzufügen.

Die deutsche Ausgabe der 'Jahresthemen' stellt hier eine gewisse Ausnahme dar. Dafür haben wir von der bekannten deutsch-italienischen Autorin Linella Livaldi auch Lilith-Texte schreiben lassen; diese sind inzwischen auch als Buch beim Chiron-Verlag erschienen. Im Gratis-Bereich und im Tageshoroskop sind diese Texte aber nicht verfügbar. Manche der Deutungen von Lianelly Livalid sind ziemlich 'heavy' und wir wollen sie nur den Kunden und Kundinnen zukommen lassen, die sich ernsthaft damit auseinandersetzen wollen. Die Bestellung der Jahresthemen ist ein Beleg dieser ernsthaften Absicht; ein Klick auf ein kostenloses Online-Tool wäre es meiner Meinung nach nicht.



Just wanted to say that I love Astrodienst. You are so much more useful and in-depth than other astrology web sites I have visited. Thank you for the always insightful free horoscope!

Alois adds: Die Deutung dieses Punkts steht auf schwachen Füssen; der Name verführt zu Erwartungen, die nicht gehalten werden können. Die arabischen Astrologen des Mittelalters haben Unmengen solcher 'Punkte' erfunden; der Glückspunkt (lateinisch Pars Fortunae) ist nur einer davon.

In der 'Erweiterten Grafikauswahl' kann die Anzeige des Glückspunkts in den Zeichnungen eingeschaltet werden. Dazu müssen Sie nur bei den Zusatzfaktoren 'Pars Fortunae' aktivieren.



It would be helpful to be able to generate reports for solar return charts -- personal portraits, forecasts, etc. As it is, your software considers such reports to be for a person ... less than the age of six years... and will not generate them.

It would be so useful -

couldn't you tweak your program so that such reports were available?

Many thanks -

We are not at freedom to 'abuse' this material for different readings for which it was never intended. In my opinion such usage would show disrespect for the original creative work of our authors like Robert Hand, Robert Pelletier or John Townley.

a very happy new year,
but still: to be an amateur in such a knowledgeable company ...feels like crashing a party. Where shall one begin! And I don-t even know IF i want to. i am deeply impressed by the accuracy of your horoscopes (tried five free ones), but also sceptic and a bit scared. what i really want to know is where to begin. i do not want to be an astrologer, i just want to understand more of what i read on these pages. the little i know about astrology, i have from a book by danish Lise Fredriksen. so i have some difficulty in understanding some of the phrases, i. e. trine and such. i am not very good in web-speech or whatever either, which do not make me stupid i know, but often is been made stupid by stupid commentaries...so: can you recommend something from your shop to learn the basics from? i tried to find something, but i didn't. and am a bit wary of leaving my visa card number with you. i also want to know - a bit unclear, aren't you, here? - if my whole name appear on the screen for everbybody to see? my country is a small one! one thing is to come up with real names getting a membership or whatever, quite another to have it shown on internet. this is as you will see, not a comment, but two questions: where to start reading and how anonymous am i?
peace,

Alois adds: The primary purpose of this website, and of the services offered by Astrodienst in the Online shop is not to teach astrology but to deliver astrology. It is like visiting a doctor or a psychologist: they offer treatment, not teaching of medicine or psychology.

There are some materials on our site which can be considered 'teaching', and some of the free services can be used for learning purposes. For a real study of astrology however I recommend that you start buying some books or look for a local astrology study group in your area.



Congratulations for your professional and beautifull website ! By far the best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work !

My compliments to you for an excellent astrology site. Why haven't I known about you before? This is just outstanding. Congratulations on creating a web page that is so far and above the others--many of whom I have paid for. I'd like to subscribe to something from you but I haven't found anything that seems quite right in terms of level of difficulty for my learning. I'll try the book search. What do you recommend to a self taught but not a diligent student. Thanks again. Joy Hummer, Ed.D.

P. S. One more thing... I was born in Washington DC, but the city finder field would accept neither that entry nor the 'District of Columbia', so I inputed myself as being born in District Heights, MD instead, as it is close. Do you have the Washington DC option in there somewhere? Let me know! Thanks again!

Alois adds: Thank you for the kind feedback.

I do not understand your problem regarding your birth town. When you just enter 'Washington' in the birth town field, while you leave the country selection at its default setting 'The whole world', you get 115 hits with towns whose name begins with Washington. If you scroll the list you will find 'Washington, DC' as the fifth entry.

If you select 'District of Columbia' in the country pulldown list, and enter 'Washington' in the birth town field, you get three hits to choose from.

You can also play around. Preselect 'District of Columbia' as 'country' and enter just a 'w' in the birth town field. This gives you all locations in DC starting with 'w', e.g. White House, Watergate, etc.



Hello and thank you so much for your wonderful site and the services that you offer for free! I just returned from my first international travels and was intending to take along my Astrocartography chart, but before I left i couldn't find it anywhere! Odd considering my Jupiter in Virgo in the 10th knows where ALL of my important documents are. Just yesterday a new friend recommnded your site and I was able to chart and print them here. On my travels I was recommended and refered to go to a city in Italy and using your charts, i see that that very city puts the Moon on my ascendant AND Neptune on my midheaven. I guess this will be my next international destination! Thank You ! Thank You! Thank You! Happy New Year to you! I will be visiting your site often. Also, a quick note to Robert Hand...your planets in transit book is like my astro-Bible!

In the short edition, only a few, but nevertheless important transits over your natal chart are considered. It is likely however that some important transits of this six month period have been omitted in this sample report. Each time a new month begins and the period of this short report changes, the selection of the themes which are discussed here will change.
