I was wondering to what extent are the free horoscopes true? I am interested in purchasing a number of items from your site and find it very interesting. I am wondering how much or what is left out, omitted, changed, etc. . Thank you.

Alois adds: The 'Short reports' are abbreviated versions of the AstroText reports, our line of 'low cost' reports. Our quality reports, branded Astro*Intelligence, are not available in the free service section, neither in full nor abbreviated. The exception is the Daily Horoscope, which is a full and identical copy of the 'Personal Horoscope Calendar'.

I recommend you visit the samples area at http://www.astro.com/samples. You also can get to it from the left column of the home page, or from the shop area. With each description of a report there is a link to the samples area, where you can find complete, original copies of sample reports.



Hi with the printable Ephemeris I know that R stands for retrograde but what does D stand for? For example I'm pretty sure that if someone's Mercury was in Aquarius it would go into Capricorn for it would go one sign back because of the retrograde. Would the D put the planet ahead one sign? Or is a D really rare? Could you please tell me if I'm correct or not and what the D stands for? Thanks so Much!!!

Christopher Lauzon [ lotusreedscogeco.ca ] (visiting www.astro.com)
Oakville, Canada --- Tuesday, April 30, 2002 at 21:51 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: D stands for direct, i.e. when a planet goes from retrograde motion to direct motion. A look at the degrees and minutes would tell you the same. they go backward on the days before the D mark, and forward afterwards.



Thank you for this wonderful site. My question concerns the Natal, Progressed and Solar Arc chart. To the right of the chart is written in red AC Sol and MC Sol. What do these stand for? Thank you.

Deborah Thompson (visiting www.astro.com)
Reno, NV, USA --- Tuesday, April 30, 2002 at 18:59 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: They stand for the Ascendant and MC of the previous Solar return chart, erected for the birth place. The late German astrologer Bernd A Mertz for whom I had originally programmed this chart style in the 1980ies wanted it this way. Please do not ask me why, read his 30+ published books for the answer...



great site. have used it for many years. one question i've only eventually got round to asking you now though - how can i print charts with aspects of 8° maximum orb rather than 10°?
- oh yes, also, how to add aspects between north node, ascendant and chiron to the other planets?
big hugs to you all,
colin

bournemouth, great britain --- Tuesday, April 30, 2002 at 10:43 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: In Extended Chart selection there are options for reducing orbs (you want to enter 80) and for 'aspects lines to all' (you want to mark this).



Thank you so much for such a very generous and wonderful site. I have one query. Could you please help me understand...for every composite I generate the asc and desc of the individuals add up to the compos. asc, but for one couple in specific the asc should be the desc. In other words if you have 320 plus 106 (the two natal ascendents) divided by 2 should give us a Scorpio asc not Taurus right. Am I missing something because it is most baffling to me, this is the only composite that is the other way round...is there a reason for this that I do not know yet? Thank you so much for your help
Once again thank you so very kindly for your generosity with this site...Astrodienst helps us all so freely to learn to tap into the hidden messages of the stars. God bless you and your work!

VB MTK (visiting www.astro.com)
Ontario, Canada --- Tuesday, April 30, 2002 at 10:30 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thanks for the feedback. It is wrong to add this way, because the zodiac circle is not a linear ruler. It is a CIRCLE. Whoever told you that method, was not fully competent.

Please take a REAL LOOK at the zodiac circle, where the marks for 106 and 320 degrees are. The SHORTER arc between those points is 146 degrees long and goes from 20° Aquarius to 16° Cancer. The short arc must be divided into two halfs to get the 'near midpoint'. It is 320 + 73 = 393 = 33°, or 3° Taurus. You have been dividing the long arc, ending up at the 'far midpoint'.

It is always dangerous to do calculations just 'by formula' instead of 'by understanding conceptually'. It is essential that you understand what you want to compute.



Hello, and thank you for your wonderful website. I am wondering: can you refer me to a website that would provide me with more detailed maps, especially of the United States. I am considering a move, and it would be really helpful to use maps that zone in more closely with specific cities. And perhaps in time, your own website could provide such maps.
Thanks again,
Erika

New York, USA --- Monday, April 29, 2002 at 18:26 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Please, read the 'Introduction to the Astro Maps' (a link in the first popup window). It will tell you that due to the limited spatial resolution of this astrological technique it is pointless to try to pin down anything within a perimeter of 100 miles. It is not a map drawing problem. Actually, the resolution of the world map is enough. The location of the lines is so sensitive to birth time that within 5 minutes a line will shift by 60 miles (caused by the rotation of the Earth).

Natal astrology readings use planetary orbs of at least 5 degrees. 5 degrees on a map however are more than 250 miles (exact figures depend on latitude). Even with a very precise birth time the planetary orb of natal astrology will not go away.



Hello again. I have another question about twins. You wrote that they devide personal traits and the stronger one picks first. is it possible that they can switch later on in life? Or does the stronger one always pick first? I was drawn to both of them and they were both interested in me... fun at first but ended in a big drama.

Thank you for such an amazing site. I've been all over the world and the Travel Maps are ridiculously accurate. My husband was/is sceptical, so right before a 3 month SE Asia trip, he challenged me to write out all the predictions before we left, without any chance of reinterpreting them as we went. I did one for myself, one for him, and one for our combined chart. We've now compared them to our diaries. Every prediction was true, and he's now strangely quiet on the subject. We were even deathly sick in the place we both had warnings about. Thank you so much for such an amazing tool.

One thing that would make the site even better, esp for the traveler on a slow connection: a way to sign in directly on the main page.

Found my potrait to be highly accurate! I now understand why I always feel unlike others but that's OK. Also, the travel lines were interesting...places I intuitively never wanted to visit come up as being negative for me anyway! Nice job!

Hallo, Herr Treindl!_______________
Wurde schon einmal darüber nachgedacht, bei astro.com ein regelrechtes Forum einzurichten? Viele der im GB auftauchenden Anfragen sind relativ äußerlicher Natur und könnten von anderen Gästen beantwortet werden. Was weniger Arbeit für Sie bedeuten würde._________________
Nach dem zweiten Liz-Greene-Horoskop bin ich neuerlich restlos begeistert davon, wie treffend es ist. UND WIE HILFREICH. Herzlichen Dank!
Einziger Wermutstropfen: es war mir zu kurz. Ich hätte in dieser Qualität gerne noch mehr über mich erfahren. Ist vorgesehen, z.B. die Persönlichkeits-Horoskope auszubauen?____________
Und noch eine Anregung: Es wäre mir sehr recht gewesen, wenn ich wie beim Tranist-Horoskop auch beim P.-H. am Rand die betreffenden Konstellationen sehen hätte können, um die Aussagen selbst einordnen zu können.______________ In jedem Fall besten Dank und schöne Grüße_______hpr

Thank you very much for your prompt attention to my request, Alois. I will be happy to subscribe to the new service you described. I mainly like your Daily Horoscopes for the Chiron transit descriptions, because they are not available anywhere else, and like everything written by Liz Greene, I find they almost invariably hit the nail on the head. Mind you, this can be disconcerting when it's Chiron transits that are the subject of discussion I've had some rather too thought-provoking reading in these horoscopes the last few days! Worth it though. I've greatly enjoyed the use of your free services for several years now, so I will be happy to support you now. Thanks again.

Alois, I know that you have several times in the past few years given instructions for going back more than one day in the daily forecasts. It seems to me that you gave these instructions again recently, but I can't find them. Would you mind telling me where to look in the Feedback files for this info, because I want to print out some readings on Chiron transits that at present I can no longer access. Thank you for your help.

Pam Young [ 2pyoungrogers.com ] (visiting www.astro.com)
Guelph, Canada --- Saturday, April 27, 2002 at 17:23 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: We will shortly introduce a 'subscriber mode' for the daily horoscope which adds a 'calendar navigation' with free choice of date to the daily horoscope page. This option will be available for paying subscribers. A limited date selection (today, yesterday, possibly tomorrow) will continue to be available for free. Please give us another one or two weeks to complete the programming. Then you will be able to subscribe for a modest fee.

We will offer two-month and 12-month subscriptions, for a wide date range and free choice between all natal data stored in your account. The planned price is US$9.95 for 2 months and US$29.95 for 12 month subscription.

We receive many requests to add the ability to look up daily horoscopes for arbitrary dates in the past and in the future, and this is a way to provide this service online, without killing the significant and increasing sales of the printed version, the Personal Horoscope Calendar. We need some revenue to keep our services going, after all.

Of course, the printed copy of the Calendar gives access to arbitrary past and future dates already now. It is very practical to use, and a valuable source of information if you order it annually and keep the old copies.

The hidden feature described under the March 30 entry will then disappear.



THank you! the report was amazing, it was one of the most accurate reporst I have ever received and I appreciate the information about time zones and that I was able to enter my place of birth for more accuracy as well.

Hi! I wanted first to thank you for your amazing site, and second to thank you, more specifically, for your interpretation on the short reports. I have been studying astrology since 1992 and have never, ever gotten the exact, most relevant, interpretation for my Saturn in the 7th house as what your short report has given me. I have wondered and have been tortured for years on end with other people's perceptions of me. I finally got a straightforward answer to my woes in your short report.

Your interpretation
The environment will be a very restricting factor in your life the same limitations that hinder your relationships with others will emerge in a narrowness of reception to your ideas and emotions. Then, at the end of the 7th/Saturn interpretation, The key to a better integration of your existence lies in the ability to view these obstacles and binds with philsophical resignation.

Although some might see this as bleak, to me, it is freeing. I have already learned that to try to change other people's perceptions or to try to change the flow of the planets pull on my life is futile and frustrating. It does nothing but make the lessons that are already set in motion far more difficult then they need be.

THANK YOU for telling it like it is! That is so rare and beautiful! Your site is a diamond in the rough without a doubt!

Hi! What can you tell me about Minerva in astrology?

Janice M. Burke [ jmbkatjuno.com ] (visiting www.astro.com)
Union, U.S.A. --- Saturday, April 27, 2002 at 00:12 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Not much, I'm afraid. Minerva has not made it into the mainstream astrological cosmos, as there were many more gods and goddesses than planets. I recommend to try google.com for more information on the mythical figure, whose role is not at all clear. Sometimes called second wife of Jupiter (besides Juno), somtimes called chaste Roman equivalent to Greek Athene, a goddess of victory and wisdom, patroness of arts, science, and crafts. Minerva's day is December 4th, according to other sources June 14.

There is an asteroid (#93) named Minerva. You can insert it into your charts, see Extended chart selection. There is also one for Athene, #881.

There is a book: Awakening Minerva; The Power of Creativity in Women's Lives.



Have you considered including a mars return chart in your list of horoscopes?

Lieber Herr Treindl,

es ist sehr nett und sehr großzügig von Ihnen, dass Sie mir kostenlosen Ersatz für das Beruf-Horoskop anbieten, von dem ich zunächst einmal gar nicht angetan war. Ich muss mittlerweile gestehen: Beim erneuten Lesen des Horoskops wurde mir bewusst, dass es gar nicht so banal ist und dass die Aussagen, die darin gemacht werden, keine Gemeinplätze sind, die auf jeden zutreffen würden. Deshalb vielen Dank für Ihr Angebot, aber ich behalte das Beruf-Horoskop, mal sehen, was beim dritten Lesen passiert.

Hallo,
Die Seite wird immer wunderbarer. Das neue Feature mit der Ortsastrologie ist absolut genial. Nur hats dann von den amerikanischen Linien mit Apsekten nicht mehr auf die europäischen umgeschaltet.

Alois adds: Danke fürs Feedback. Unser Autor für 'Astrolandkarten', Harald Mayen, hatte keine Texte für Lilith geschrieben. Ich vermisse sie auch nicht, ich betrachte diesen mathematischen Punkt mit einigem Zweifel. Ich glaube nicht, dass Lilith unbedingt Teil der Basisdeutung eines Horoskops sein sollte. Es hängen zu viele negative (Be)deutungen dran, wie auch schon bei Chiron, der wenigstens ein reales Objekt ist. Insgesamt zieht das dann die Stimmung einer Deutung doch ziemlich runter, wenn man immer mehr schwierige und belastende Faktoren dazufügt. Masochisten mags freuen.



Dear Shawn,
The book you might find very helpful in your exploration of 12 houses of zodiac is called 12 Houses by late Howard Sasportas. It's incredibly clearly written, which is of great help for those who only start on their path in astrology and very educational. Boasting with examples of placements (and their absenses), I can quarantee this book to become your faithful companion for many months to come. Enjoy!
Best luck in your searches,
Sincerely,
Katia
p.s. It is very easy to order through Amazon.com.

This website is one of the greatest assets in my life right now. I use it whenever I am feeling very emotional or having struggles. Then I am validated once I see what planetary influences are going on. I do have a question though about the houses. What does it mean when you don't have any planets in some houses. I am missing planets in my 5th, 11 and 12th houses. I haven't been able to find out what this means after researching for a long time.

Thanks so much for the great site!

Shawn (visiting www.astro.com)
--- Thursday, April 25, 2002 at 19:27 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thank you for the kind comment.
It is normal to have houses without planets; there are only 10 planets, but 12 houses, and the planets are not distributed evenly over the sky. I would consider empty houses as 'neutral territory'. In traditional astrology you look for the sign of the house cusp and the ruler of this sign. This ruling planet is associated with the house in a similar way as a planet actually in the house.

Information about rulers of signs can be found at:
Homepage -> (left column) Introduction to Astrology -> Signs



At the end of this month there is a 5 planet conjunction, the first of its kind in 100 years. I was hoping for some input from Liz Greene on your Homepage about this extraordinary astrological event to put this in perspective for all of us faithful readers! Thanks

Jane (visiting www.astro.com)
, USA --- Thursday, April 25, 2002 at 11:15 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: It happens every few years that 5 planets are in the same sign. This should not be called a conjunction. The event has no particular astrological relevance. If you are born with such a constellation, you will of course notice the influence of this sign strongly in your personality.

There are always some public voices in astrology who like to make a fuss about any special mundane constellation. Usually these people love to frighten their audience by predicting the end of the world. At Astrodienst, we tend to be more relaxed about the skies. The algae in my new garden pond are of greater interest to me than this Gemini stellium.



I am very disappointed with this site. Today, 25 April, is my birthday and I came to the site for my daily horescope. My horescope was EXACTLY the same today, 25 April my birthday, as it was last year on the same day.

Anne (visiting www.astro.com)
--- Thursday, April 25, 2002 at 08:42 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: It is your birthday reading, which is indeed the same every year. I presume your friends sing the same birthday song every year, too, and say more or less similar things as last year. But if you check the list of 'Other transits occurring today' below the birthday text, you will find that the listed items, and the readings behind those links, are NOT the same.

It was a design decision to give the birthday greeting priority over the other transits of the same day. The birthday is the day when the Sun-conjunct-Sun aspect repeats every year. There is nothing wrong with repeating the reading for it. I rather greet a friend on his birthday with 'Happy birthday' than with 'Don't you think the weather is gloomy today?', even when it is.

The actual text is:

Happy birthday! Today the Sun returns to the position it was in when you were born. As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences you feel today will affect the entire year to come. However, this does not mean that the whole year will be disappointing if today doesn't work out exactly as planned. You are receiving a new impulse from the energy center within you, as symbolized by the Sun. Therefore any new venture that you start at this time will ride the crest of this new energy and will very likely come to an acceptable conclusion. Whatever you do or begin today will bear the stamp of your individuality more than anything else. This is the day to assert yourself anew.

I think these are thoughts worthwile to consider once a year. I am sorry if it disappointed you to find them on our site.

About a week ago I got a free chart under the above name and with the natal city of Madrid,
Spain. I'm trying to figure out based on this chart what sign is on my 11th house.I don't know enough about chart to figure the degrees and signs that appear. I can see most of it but seem to be a bit lost. Can you help me?Please let me know what do I need to do, thank you!

Alois adds: Please use Free Horoscopes -> Astroclick Portrait, and see where the number 11 is written in a section of the upper part of the round chart. There is a black thin line to the right of this number. Please follow this line (with your eyes) to the outside of the circle. Click into the zodiac sign area just above the point where this thin black line ends. This is the sign at the cusp of your 11th house. The chart drawing shows only the astrological symbol for this sign. If you click on it, the popup window will tell you its name.

If you use the normal chart drawing instead of AstroClick Portrait, you have a table of planet positions at the left side of the drawing. At the bottom of this table are two lines starting with AC: and MC:. This is the list of house cusps. The second field in the MC line reads: 11: [degree] sign [minutes]. This tells you the sign of the 11th house cusp.



Ich bin enttäuscht von Liz Greenes Beruf/Berufung-Horoskop. Die Psychologische Horoskopanalyse fand ich sehr interessant, ich fühlte mich persönlich angesprochen, gemeint familiäre Konstellationen und Atmosphärisches empfand ich als präzise erfasst. Es werden darin einige sehr spezifische (also auch riskante) Aussagen gemacht. Bei mir schienen sie ins Schwarze zu treffen. Deshalb entschloss ich Jahre später, auch das Beruf-Horoskop zu bestellen. Beim Beruf-Horoskop hatte ich nun aber den Eindruck von Vagheit, Wiederholungen von bereits Gesagtem, andererseits Beliebigkeit der möglichen beruflichen Branchen. Die Aussage, es passe zu einem, im Beruf einer bestimmten Vision zu dienen, finde ich als Auskunft zu mager. Über Begabungen bzw. Schwächen wird nicht konkret genug gesprochen. Dass das Beruf-Horoskop gleichviel kostet wie die Psychologische Horoskopanalyse, ist für mich nicht nachvollziehbar, da dessen Qualität ihr gegenüber deutlich abfällt.

Alois adds: In den 1 1/2 Jahren, seit wir das Horoskop 'Beruf und Berufung' herausgebracht haben, ist Ihre Beurteilung die erste derart negative, die zu meiner Kenntnis kommt. Die allermeisten Stimmen zum Berufshoroskop, darunter auch von vielen professionellen Beratern/innen und Astrologen/Astrologinnen, waren begeistert.

Es ist uns bewusst, dass es unmöglich ist, mit einem Werk, was auch immer es sei, 100 Prozent Zustimmung zu erreichen, schon gar nicht bei 100% aller Skorpione. Das gilt leider auch für unsere Horoskope.

Es tut mir leid, wenn Ihnen unsere Arbeit in diesem Fall nicht gefallen hat. Bitte schicken Sie uns das Berufshoroskop zurück, wir senden Ihnen dafür kostenlos ein anderes Horoskop aus unserem Angebot. Lassen Sie uns bei der Rücksendung wissen, was Sie gerne hätten.

Hi, I am having a really tough time finding any information on what it means for a person to have Aries in Lilith in their horoscope, I have been able to read about Dark Moon Lilith but not specifically about having Aries in it, as I do. Please explain in detail to me if you can, what this placement in my horoscope means, thanks so much for your help!

I have noticed on several occasions when I look at my daily horoscope and view the long range aspects at the bottom of the page that the date range will state a date many months prior to todays date. For example, today's horoscope it shows (for the first time) Saturn conjuct Uranus with an effective date range of 07/31/2001 through 05/05/2002. If the beginning date range was in July 2001 why is the information just showing up today (04/21/02)?

Hi! I'm just curious because when I read about the Nine Persona Charts I was confused on one thing. How do you find the birthdate for each Persona Chart? I know it says near the chart but how do you 'create' or 'discover' the date and time? Thanks a bunch for your time!

Alois adds: Please read http://www.astro.com/info/in_pers_p_e.htm. It describes the calculation and has even a drawing illustrating it. Probably you have not read it; possibly it was not completely clear. I have added one more sentence:

In technical terms: A Persona Chart is the chart for the first transit of the Sun over the position of another natal planet. All Persona Charts 'happen' within the first year after a person's birth, when the Sun makes its first circle around it, and 'wakes up' one subpersona after the other.



Dear Astrodienst Team, i have got a personal question. While reading my personal daily horoscope and forecast, I discovered a contradiction within the dates of a bad influence appearing twice, once on the personal daily horoscope, and once on the forecast page: It is an Opposition between Neptune and Mars which is said to last from April 1st 2002 till Juli 23rd 2002 on the forecast page, but from March 8th 2002 til January 5th 2004 (!) on the daily horoscope page. Which duration is correct? My dates are: born on December 2nd 1977, 6.35 a.m. in Trostberg/Germany (near Munich). It would be nice to get an answer as i noticed a lot of bad influences in my horoscope at the moment while i indeed have a lot of worries at the moment and it would calm me to know when these influences end. Thank you a lot!

Hello,

You must be very interesting people........you are doing some very interesting things.

I've just entered a friends birth data to peruse his chart. According to my calculations this June/
July Pluto in Sagittarius retrogrades right over his sun, conjuncting it. He is born December 8th, 1947
his Sun is 15 degrees of Saggitarius. I was suprised not to see it listed in long term transits. I suppose it it will show up soon? I view Pluto conjunct Sun the most powerful of transits, so I am suprised not to
see it as a constant, will it show up?

Hi Alois,

This is a question/suggestion.

Currently, we can have a description of the aspects through a chart in the astroclick section.

Can Astrodienst provide something like a dictionary interface where we can navigate and find any descriptions of any aspects? For instance, if I want to find a description of pluto in the 4th, uranus conjunct sun, and so on.

Does such a tool already exist on Astrodienst? If not, is it planned for a next release?

You already have the dictionary content ready, only the user interface need to be developed.

Hi Team,

Let me congragulate for bringing host of services on one platter. It must obviously a stroke of genius from a dedicated team.

I have used your service, but One thing that constantly lingers my mind according to my birth data, Other astrological services have produced charts where in the planetary positions in the houses have been different than from yours. What could be the reason, Can you throw light on this.

Thank you so much for your wonderful site. To give so much information and not ask for money is proof of an extraordinary generosity of spirit. One small comment about my daily horoscope. Do the long-range forecasts have to be quite so gloomy? For quite a while now, mine has said Impending shortages, Crisis of faith Apparent defeats. Many of us visit your site in need of a little encouragement to get through difficult times. Just lately I have felt disheartened just looking at this page. Couldn't the person who selects transits find just one that will give me a little hope?

But that is perhaps a frivolous request. Thanks again for your wonderful contribution.

Alois adds: If your mother is alive, sit down with her and spend with her a few hours in a calm, not stressed atmosphere to reconstruct the whole day of your birth. In such a setting it is likely that some details will be remembered which will finally allow to get a better idea of the actual birth time.
Of course, you should also check the birth registry office records. Make sure you get a look at the actual entry in the registry book.



Hi I've been lookinf for the Nine Persona Charts and I FINALLY found them! Now I just need to know there purpose. For example, does the Moon Persona Chart show the personality of my moon? My moon is in Aries and on my Moon Persona Chart it says my Moon is in Virgo. If my hypothesis for the purpose of the Nine Persona Charts is not right could you please inform me of there purpose?

I believe that the 20th century discarded the nature main needs, physically and psychologically. Pollution has distroyed the physical nature and lack of adapted spirituality distroyed our psychological nature.

The new astrology - linked with the analytical psychology - is a new spirituality that can lead the human being to his close inner nature, free him and help him to get his happiness.

The 21th century is in great need to respect our inner nature and help us to re-integrate it.

The world went out of its own nature. Time is now to go back to ourself, our inner and true nature and respect what and who we are.

Astrodienst is a great and sensitive way for this new spirituality, this website is the best tool I know for our Quest for the Holy Grale.

Many Thanks to the Astrodienst team. Please go ahead, we need you.

I hope that we can start releasing the additional languages within two months.

The daily horoscope can already now be called up in french if you add to the URL:

Great site! Except, I have a couple questions. I am almost 50 years old--why do I get information about Youths that refer to adulthood as though it were my future? More importantly, I suspect there is an error in drawing my chart. I have always been told that my rising is in Virgo, but you have me as in Leo. I have had professionals cast my chart and read books and worked with computer programs, and they all agreed. Why is your chart of me different from theirs?

Thanks!

About your rising sign: either you have entered incorrect data, or all your previous charts were wrong. The degree of the zodiac rising at the eastern horizon at a given time and location is a fact of nature. It is not a subject open for opinions and discussion. Our calculations for astronomical facts are correct, the most reliable in the whole 'industry'. For further reference, please see our Swiss Ephemeris section.

hallo, Die Verguetung ist grosszuegig von Astrodienst. aber darum geht es mir jetzt nicht. Ich schaetze die Hand Horoskope sehr. Auch alle anderen. Auch die Buecher von Greene ( luminaries u.a. ). Ich hab aber den Zugang zur Psychologischen Horoskopanalyse nicht gefunden. Nur in teilen. Elementanalyse sehr gut, Partnerschaftsprofil als Analyse von zeichen und Planeten im 7ten Haus. Erfasst aber nicht mein ganzes wesen.
Im Hauptteil war ich ohne Planeten, Zeichen , Hausangaben voellig verloren. Ich hab auch faehigkeit eine Gesamtgewichtung durch lesen mitzupraegen. Aber nicht aus 18 Seiten Text. Das war mir zu viel. Dazu haette ich die kosmischen Konstellationen herangezogen....Naja aber kritik ist einfach. Besser kann ich es eh net. Ausserdem zahlt man bei Dahlke und der Praxis schon 200 DM fuer eine normale Horokopdeutung. Und bleibender ist in diesem Fall eure psychologische Horoskopanalyse.
Bleibt nur zu sagen, dass ich die gesamgewichtung durch lesen mitpraegen kann, aber nicht wenn keine kosmischen Konstellationen angegeben sind. Das soll jetzt keine verletzende Kritik sein, sondern nur der Eindruck den ich hatte. Bei so viel positivem bei astro .com vertragen sie das schon , oder ?

Ich glaube, das waren die unnötigsten 71,40 EUR, die ich bisher ausgegeben habe. Die Psychologische Horoskop-Analyse (insbesondere die Beziehung zu den Ältern) ist fast vollständig unzutreffend und an den Haaren herbeigezogen. Die dargestellten Punkte stimmen in kaum einer Weise mit meinen Erfahrungen überein! Abgesehen davon bestehen überdeutliche Parallelen zum Horoskop einer Bekannten. Ich bezweifle die Individualität dieses Horoskops stark! Und auch das astrotext Liebe könnte auf jede andere Person zutreffen, es besteht kein spezieller Bezug zu meiner Person.
Ich bin sehr enttäuscht!!

--- Sunday, April 14, 2002 at 11:57 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Wir bedauern, wenn Sie mit dem Psychologischen Horoskop nicht zufrieden waren. Manchmal ist es in Fällen so ausdrücklicher Ablehnung nützlich, eine Zeitlang auf dem Gelesenen zu sitzen - symbolisch gemeint - und sich erst mit etwas zeitlichem Abstand nochmals damit zu befassen. Es kommt vor, dass die von unserer Autorin präsentierten Inhalte einen vorschnellen Abwehrreflex auslösen. Wenn viele Aehnlichkeiten mit dem Horoskop einer Bekannten auftreten, so mag das auch an der Wahl Ihrer Freundinnen liegen und nicht unbedingt ein Mangel des Horoskops sein.

Wir wagen viel mit dem Deutungsmodell, das wir mit Liz Greene entwickelt haben, und es gibt auch Fälle, in denen es eine Person nicht richtig erfasst und daneben geht. Wenn Sie nach ca. drei Wochen und nochmaligem Lesen auf Ihrer Ablehnung bestehen, senden Sie bitte das Psychologische Horoskop zurück. Wir werden den Betrag vergüten, bzw, falls die Rechnung noch unbezahlt ist, den Betrag stornieren.

PS: Am liebsten würde ich Ihnen vorschlagen, zu warten bis Sie 30 Jahre alt geworden sind; das sind allerdings in Ihrem Fall noch viele Jahre und wohl nicht zumutbar. Ich bin allerdings überzeugt, dass Ihr Urteil über das Psychologische Horoskop dann anders ausfallen wird.

Hi Alois,

I was too quick with my answer to what was different to my horoscopist' findings whith yours by assuming that the location of birth was the issue. As you may know already, my technical knowledge of astrology is zero, otherwise i wouldn't have made such a silly remark.
So, what the issue is, is that my horoscope made by my friend is somewhat different from yours as in my ascendent according to her is taurus and according to you is aries.My time of birth 13.30 GMT Geleen 50.58 5.50 Holland. Her findings are: sun 28.32' Saggitarius, moon 13.51' scorpio, mercury 17.30' saggitarius, venus 7.54' aquarius, mars 28.55' aries, jupiter 12.00' aquarius, saturn 1.29' cancer, uranus 26.57' libra, neptune 7.57' saggitarius, pluto 6.43' libra, Cheiron 16.24' aries and some others I don't know how to translate.
I really appreciate your website and I really would like to make use of it in the future but I would like to understand how such a difference can occur. I thank you for your answer. love, Ester

amsterdam, holland --- Friday, April 12, 2002 at 21:28 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: GMT is not the timezone valid in Holland in 1973. Your error is very simple: our system requires 'wrist watch time' for birth data entry, i.e. the time which was shown on a normal person's watch at the time and location of your birth. This is 14.30 in your case. NEVER MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS to the wrist watch / wall clock time.

PS: For those, who don't like it simple but want to make it complicated and error prone, there is a feature 'manual timezone' which allows you to enter time in a false timezone.

To All at Astrodienst,
I have written before and sent my praises, and now I have more! At the end of
2000 my nephew Tristan gave me a Yearly Horoscope Analysis 2001
,Psychological Horoscope Analysis, and a Relationship Horoscope. They have
been unbelievably helpful! I still can refer to the yearly horoscope because some
of the transits are still active. This year for my 40th birthday I received the book
The Inner Planets by Liz Greene Howard Sasportas. While reading I had
all my information beside me so that I could begin to visualize how the whole chart
goes together. I'm treating myself to Howard Sasportas's The Twelve Houses if
it's still around. You have helped me see a greater depth working in my life, one
that I can access .... which is a very good thing when there are 4 planets in my
first house.
thanks so much, Julia
P.S. I do have a question though Are there any great books on Progressions?
I don't understand why they're used ... why can't transits alone tell what qualities are
at work?

Hi, thanks for the website which gives me a lot of pleasure!
But still I have a question about the travelling. What's the difference of North America w. all aspects and N.A. w. disharm aspects? I got totally different results when I clicked the same city Vancouver on the map!

Are the charts generated (especially the solar return charts and lunar return charts) by the generators precession-corrected as well. My experience has shown tht this is VERY important in doing someone's chart???
So are they precession-corrected??

anevills [ a_nevillshotmail.com ] (visiting www.astro.com)
--- Friday, April 12, 2002 at 01:30 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: No, they are not.

I consider 'precession correction' in tropical astrology to be illogical and wrong. Tropical astrology uses a frame of reference which moves with the rhythm of the Sun-Earth-Moon system. The technique of 'precession correction' breaks this system by trying to introduce a notion of 'natal birth marks in absolute space'. This is false on several levels. The reference frame it introduces is not absolute, it translates and rotates with the (fast) movement of the solar system within the galaxis. A transiting planet does NEVER return to the point in absolute space where it once was. In a post-Newtonian world view there is actually no 'absolute space'. The concept of 'return charts' (and of transits alltogether) is, when you look deeper into it, a symbolic concept, not a physical concept. It should rather be applied in a consistent symbolic system and not in an inconsistent potpourri of systems.

If you don't like precession - a decision which I can respect even when I don't share it - you should do "sidereal" astrology with one of its unprecessed reference frames, but not mix several incompatible systems. It is a bit like expressing the height of a person as '5 feet and 20 centimeters'.

Hello, I've noticed a discrepancy in the free daily horoscope department. Upon checking my horoscope for the Next Day, I mistakenly hit Yesterday and what I was given was different from what I was given for that day on the day that was current...two different horoscopes for the same day. For example: today, April 12th, I hit Yesterday, Aprill 11, by mistake and what came up was different from what was given as the horoscope for April 11th on the 11th. I've checked it out a couple of other times with the same result. Can you explain? Or is this an internal problem that needs attention?

Thanks, Melody

Alois adds: I cannot reproduce your problem. Possibly there is a confusion about what is meant by 'today'. Depending on where you are on the planet, a different day is meant by 'today'. Please scroll to the bottom of the daily horoscope place, and make sure that you have set the 'reference place' to a place within the timezone where you live. If you don't do that, the computer might assume a different date as 'today' than you actually observe at your location.

If you continue to observe a problem, please report it using the 'report a problem' feature at the bottom of the page. That way we will receive more details about what you actually are doing.

Hi. I have relocated my chart to the place I'm living now (asheville, nc)and when I read my daily transits I read for there as well as my place of birth (brooklyn, ny). By doing this am I getting a fuller expression of what's going on for me currently? Are the transits of both places having an effect on my horoscope? Thanks, as usual, for your dedication to this information.

Hi Alois,

I asked you 1 or 2 months ago the defintion of the Peter PAn Archetype and you gave me the answer below. Are there also 'negative' aspects we have to consider in the definition ?

Thanks a lot.

Gérard Sorée

==================

Among the positive factors considered for the PP archetype, we use:
- strong placements in Gemini, Leo or sagittarius
- strong aspects between Sun or Moon and Jupiter or Uranus
- strong aspects between Venus and Uranus
- hard aspects between Venus and Jupiter
- Uranus or Jupiter at the Ascendant
- Uranus conjunct Chiron
- Neptune or Pluto in house 10
- Saturn or Chiron in house 8
- Uranus in house 7
- Mars conjunct Uranus or Chiron

Alois adds: What I gave you is a small section of the actual mechanism. Both, the concept of 'shadow strength' and the competition with other archetypal themes, introduce considerable complexity into the actual evaluation, and introduce directly, and indirectly, elements which you might call 'negative aspects'.
Our current policy at Astrodienst is not to disclose the details of our chart evaluation model. I am afraid I cannot elaborate more on this issue at this time.



Dear Astro,

When I went to check the famous people born on my birth day , i was surprised not to find Malcolm X, the famous black political leader. Although controversial, he must certainly have an interesting astrochart, and worthy of mention...just to keep your site multi-cultural and diverse.

Many thanks for your great site,

Alois, thank you for your feedback. However, I think that I may have overstated my case - since becoming a young adult, I have instinctively been attracted by sufficient nutritious wholesome foods, and have pleasure in sustaining my good health. So, overindulgence etc, as suggested in my horoscope, are more or less irrelevant, and totally unlikely.....therefore, can I ask again, is it likely that my birth time is incorrect?

Frances Kendall [ franceskendallbigpond.com ] (visiting www.astro.com)

Alois adds: I cannot know whether your birthtime is correct. The correctness of birth time is established by proper research at the sources (i.e. research into reliability of data registration procedures at the time and location of your birth), not by the fact that you like or dislike what an astrological reading tells you. But as I said before, please do not overestimate the relevance of single-transit readings. These readings throw light only onto a narrow slice of a much more complex reality.

I was born in Luanda, Angola on the 11th October 1973 at 14.15 (Libra, Ascendant Aquarius). Amongst other aspects in my chart I have (planetary positions) Saturn square Pluto - Moon in Pluto - the Sun, Pluto and Uranus in the 8th house.
They say I'm a surviver :-) but what I want is not only to survive but achieve some sort of knoledge and status that allows me to fulfill my dreams. Is this Mission Impossible?

Alois adds: Among extended chart selection and 'additional data tables' there are many hidden treasures.

But first of all you want to a look at an ephemeris, to see Saturn's movement, or the movement of the (progressed) Sun in the days and weeks after your birth. There is a printable ephemeris accessible from the left column of the homepage.

I love your site and use it all the time. I would like to do a transit chart for a person for a particular time on the day concerned.

But if you really want a natal charts compared to a transit chart for a particular time of day, please use this workaround: enter the transite data/time as another natal chart, and then use the 'synastry chart' option to get a combined view of both.

I have been a practioner of Western astrolgy for many years. As far as I am concerned, Astrodienst is the definitive astrological website.

Thank you so much. David Joseph

Alois adds: Astrodienst is a compter service and website dedicated to modern western astrology, with a psychological orientation. The main influences in my understanding of astrology have been Thomas Ring (Germany), Liz Greene (England/Switzerland) and Robert Hand (USA). These influences are reflected in the work of Astrodienst which is in its 23rd year now.

There are many other styles of astrology practised in the world, which we cannot represent both for lack of knowledge and for lack of interest. It will be the task and obligation of others, who have the knowledge or the interest, to represent such schools of thought and teaching in their own way of expression.

It is easy to create a website, if one really wants to, and has the necessary dedication to keep it working. There are many good programmers in India, and this is where you might look for Vedic chart services.



I am interested in going to Helsinki and found that I have a crossing Neptune/Pluto line over this region. The text says that it is a place of spiritual purification. This sounds perfect and a practical jouney, because the northern regions have always attracted me and Spiritual purification is a fixation. Yet as I read further on, it says ...deceits and lies resurface at the most inappropriate moment, and threaten your reputation and life. This statement becomes more significnant with the consciousness that, even as you hope to move closer to the nature of life its pitfalls become deeper. Yes, life is fragile. Can I construe this as a figurative expression or is it meant as a real material warning? And to dispell any conjecture, I do not know anyone in this region and am not for any reason being followed there. Unless of course, I am dillusional, which could be the case.

To Natalie Johnston of Toronto: As someone whose own natal chart is rife with challenging aspects, I can empathize with your efforts to find a way to resolve the internal conflicts in your chart. Good luck! I've been reading astrology books for years looking for answers, and I'm still looking. However, for what it's worth, here are some books I've found helpful over the years.

If you have truly mastered the basics, I would suggest beginning by reading Stephen Arroyo's books first, and then moving on to everything by Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas. All three of these authors cite many case histories, which I personally find very useful in helping me understand the patterns they are discussing. Stephen Arroyo's books include RELATIONSHIPS AND LIFE CYCLES ASTROLOGY, KARMA AND TRANSFORMATION and ASTROLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS. He has written others as well, but those are the ones I found useful when I was trying to advance beyond the basics. After Arroyo, anything and everything by Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas will help. It depends where your interests lie, but I personally found the books THE LUMINARIES, THE INNER PLANETS and THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PERSONALITY the most instructive. The latter three books are transcripts of workshops, with lots of questions and answers. Books written by Liz Greene alone, which I have found of particular interest, include THE ASTROLOGY OF FATE, THE HOROSCOPE IN MANIFESTATION, RELATIONSHIPS AND HOW TO SURVIVE THEM, THE OUTER PLANETS AND THEIR CYCLES RELATING and THE ART OF STEALING FIRE (it's about Uranus).

If you prefer a more formal approach to astrological theory than workshop transcripts affords, try Robert Hand's books: HOROSCOPE SYMBOLS, PLANETS IN TRANSIT and ESSAYS ON ASTROLOGY. Another excellent text by a different author is ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS INTO PERSONALITY by Betty Lundsted. Plus, a very good introduction to midpoint theory, which is crucial, is WORKING WITH ASTROLOGY by Michael Harding and Charles Harvey.

I have been assuming here that you have indeed mastered the basics. If you find while reading, say, Arroyo's RELATIONSHIPS AND LIFE CYCLES that you're having difficulty following the discussion, then I'd suggest you read something introductory, such as Sakoian and Acker or March and McEvers. I'd also mention a little paperback which contains a lot of information written in a very accessible style, SECRETS FROM A STARGAZER'S NOTEBOOK by Debbi Kempton-Smith. Actually, you may or may not find the latter's style a little offputting it is VERY popularized. But it actually teaches beginners a great deal.

Anyway, I hope this helps. I just remember how I felt when I was trying to figure out my chart, after I'd read all of Sakoian and Acker and nothing else.

All the best,
Pam

In reply to Marla, Melbourne: In my experience, this is a job that even a very experienced astrologer would find tough. The childrens' mother's birth data is crucial (for obvious reasons!). YOu would also need accurate birth times for the children. You could then try to approximate the father's ascendant as one of the children's ascendants may fall in the same sign. Often you may have, say, the same degree on the ascendant (rising) as the Sun in one of the kids' charts. This is a rough guide but the proper timing of mother, father and all children's charts may give you something close. If the children have different mothers it is far more difficult of course. Good luck!

First: you offer a wonderful service, I can't believe it's free.
I'm familiar now with the basic beginner's knowledge (signs in houses, aspects), and am interested in learning how to interpret patterns in a natal chart (e.g. T-squares, etc.), and the strength/importance of particular aspects or planets. (Is there a program for calculating such things? I'm deeply allergic to math how much of it is involved in assessing patterns?) Many of the articles on the web, as well as the books that I know of, are directed at either absolute beginners or veterans/specialists. Can you suggest a zine, author, article that is written in such a way as to bridge the different levels of knowledge?
(My chart is loaded up with squares and oppositions, the relevance of which is affirmed by my experience. I'm looking for the planet or pattern that can point to a way to manage these internal conflicts.)
Many thanks, natalie
p.s. Is there a legend on the site for the graphs and tables in the extended chart section?

Dear Alois et al.,

Thankyou so much for providing your excellent Astroservice for free. Although my circumstances do not permit it at present (and this is not a complaint!), I certainly do intend, in the future, to order various of your (paid) horoscopes. Sometimes it is far too easy to lapse in one's judgement and to demand, as one's right, something for free - or, to use the old cliche, to think that the world owes one a living. Although there are many positive comments in your Feedback page, I sometimes wonder how you cope when people express their dissatisfaction with what is, after all, your generously-given time and effort. It's all too easy to be reserved in offering praise to think, It's obvious that this is a great site - they don't need me to tell them that. I hope you remember that many people silently, but truly, appreciate what you give, and that your generosity is (usually!) a joy to you, rather than a burden.

If you want Chinese astrology instead of western style astrology: this is something your people must create for yourself, it is not our task. If you have a problem with the fact that we only offer European languages (currently English and German): we can only support languages which we have mastered. There should be enough creative programmers in your country to create software and services for the specific needs of the Chinese people.



I am very grateful for and interested in your service however, I still find my predictions from Robert Hand rather despondently negative, altho' not irrelevant e.g., for this time he suggests an asssociation with assimilation and gaining weight, whereas my difficulty is more with disinterest in food and losing weight. Could this suggest that the birth time I have been told is incorrect?

franco [ frnkantonyaol.com ] (visiting www.astro.com)
revere,mass., u.s.a. --- Monday, April 1, 2002 at 21:31 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Some 'querries' are a bit 'challenged', as they now say. It cannot be March and April at the same time (and place), excluding Schrödinger's cat, of course.

The statistical probability that two persons have a planet in the same sign is 1/12, i.e. 8.333%. It happens all the time. When you go out on the street and ask 100 random people for their Moon sign, about 8% will have the same as yours. This may be understood as karma, by some. Many astrologers (me including) are under the impression that various chart constellations repeat frequently within families. However, when trying to verify this impression statistically by independent research, the attempts have so far failed.

da ich immer ganz süchtig ihre tageshoroskope lese, bin ich ganz enttäuscht, wenn´s einmal nicht so klappt und das schon vergangene horoskop wieder erscheint.

As I always, I find this astrological service of extreme usefulness for both aficionado and serious astrologers.

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks, Gabriel

For me Pluto transits have shown to be deeply transforming.

Alois adds: It is very important that you read the introduction to 'short report forecast'. It says:

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 abbreviated report.

Contrary to the 'Short report Forecast', the Daily Horoscope is not abbreviated in its free online version. All transits are listed and described exactly as in the printed edition, the 'Personal Horoscope Calendar', of the same year. With the free
