I love your web site! I'm new to all this so I'm still floundering around. I have a comment re astro twins. I looked mine up and didn't find John Fogerty (Credence Clearwater Revival). His data is in Lois Rodden's lists. He was born 28 May 1945 in Berkeley, CA. If I remeber correctly, it was about 7:30 PM, with Scorpio rising.

The February issue of Horoscope magazine on pg. 17 stated in an editors note that one could get free information on the location of Eros 433 for a birth chart. I have been unable to locate it. Could you please give me the location for 3/24/47 and 8/25/72. I realized these will be approximate, or tell me where I can locate it on your site. Thank you.

Alois adds: Please allow me to answer in English. Astrodienst provides computerized horoscope services by mail and via the web. We do not see the client, do not speak to her/him and deal only with birth data information, no other input from the client.

We think that the area of medical astrology is to sensitive to be handled from such a distance. It should be reserved to personal astrological consultation, and even there an astrologer needs to be very careful. In many countries it is against the law to provide medical advice without the proper medical qualifications. This is why Astrodienst has chosen to stay away from the field of medical astrology.



Please put the two charts back on my site. One the early century chart for Afghanistan and the other when Hamid Karzai took office. Why do you keep deleting these? I have Taurus on the 12th and am very fixed about what I keep studying. Also have glaucoma and find it easier to look at charts on screen. Thank you, your site is great. Rita

Alois adds: The Sun entered Pisces on 19 feb 1963 at 09:09 AM Universal Time. This is 04:09 AM New York time. Before that time, the Sun was still in Aquarius.The exact date and time of sign change varies from year to year. For example in 1962, the Sun's ingress into Pisces was 19-feb, 03:15 am UT, which is 18-feb-1962, 10:15 pm New York Time. In 1961, it was 18-feb 4:16 pm NY time.

Dear people at Astro! Please help: I am using your free horoscope to make one for a friend in Ukraine. Since I could not locate the small town of his birth, I used the nearby one (cca 80 km north-east) that was on your map. The reading I got is a tough one, with SAturn in the 8th House. I am affraid to forward this tough horoscope to the young man since I had to use a different birth town. His data: born January 1,1980 in Tyachiv (Tjacsevo, Tyacsiv, Tecso, Tjacevo???), Ukraine, at 10 am. I used Irsava instead - the closest town on your map. Could you verify this so I may translate the English text and send it to him?
Thank you so very much! I love you website!
Wishing you all a wonderful New Year!

Alois adds: 80 km distance in location makes only as much difference as a change of 4 minutes in time, i.e. it is mostly irrelevant (one degree change of house cusps).

But I have this to say: You should never force a horoscope on anyone who has not asked for it. Leave the friend alone - he will find his own astrology at the time he is ready for it.

Dear Alois, I want to tell few things about myself. ASTROLOGY: I was born at April 27th,1946 in Karlovac,Croatia at 4:50 p.m. A propos my natal chart, I think, there are many things, they shoud happen, but they did not. 1.:I have 5th,6th,7th and 12th house bad aspected. the lords of those houses are in bad aspects with planets inside their houses. The worst aspects are about my health: lord of my 6th and 12th h. changed the places and are in opposition with each other. Neptun in 12th h.= allways wrong diagnosis. Mars is in square with Sun, Sun in quinkucks with Neptun (very bad aspect for my health). I am sick from my 16th year: double sinusitis (max. and ethm.), atypical Neuralgia Trigeminus,pains come from the shoulder, close to the neck, long time Hypotireosis.Only one doctor, neurologist in abroad (where I lived from 1969 till 1976) helped me, with injection between shoulder and neck, in the year 1971. It was good for about five years. But, I still dont know, where is cause for my pains. 2.: My 5th h.= I should have at least one child, but I do not have anyone. 3.: I know people with similar aspects, and they were married. 4.: Lord of my 7th h.Mars (10th h.)is in sextile with Neptun (12th h.): I had two boy friends from oversea. 5.: Lord of my 1st h.(Venus) is in 8th h. what means thinking about suicide.I have tried twice, but was found and rescued, because my Venus has only good aspects.For my bad life is Jupiter in square with Saturn guilty too. 6.: My 10th h.Lord is Moon in trine with Saturn in them h., what is good sign for job. I had many breaks in my life because of mooving to different places, looking for ideal climat. So I have lost about five years.7.:I have never believed in transits till Dec.2000, but I do beieve now. Neptun (my health lord) was first in opposition with natal Mars, then in square with Sun, and now for long time in opposition with Pluto. In natal chart they are all in aspects with each other. And that is and it was my worst time. I have some very good aspects, but they dont help me much. Venus in 8th h. good aspected means some inheritance. Till now there is nothing. NUMERLOGY: About numerology i didnt have any oppinion til the year 2001, when I was in personal 7th year. That is worst years from all nine.In Mai I lost my job,was very ill all year, no medicaments helped me. I was twice in spa, visited many doctors (classic, alternative, tradicional medicine), lost almost all my money. On the end was nothing. I was thinking to make suicide, but did not because of my sisters. This year,8th is little bit better, but I still do not have job, alltough I speak and write fluently german, english and french and was busy in tourism over 23 years.
You can give some comment, but I would rather know some of your many readers, if somebody has the same birthday, similar horoscop and what happened to them? Thank you very much for your patience!

Alois adds: I am sorry, but we do not give personal advice in the guestbook area. We would be overwhelmed with requests, if we started. Personally, I think your view of astrology is somewhat fatalistic and mechanistic. Maybe you should try to step out of the shadows it has cast, and ignore it for a while.



Wonderful interpretations all through your site! I love your site and visit it frequently.

Recently my brother was hospitalized and diagnosed as bipolar. I have fought depression (with less mania) all my life. My daughter now shows symptoms of bipolar disorder. Several other relatives have exhibited symptoms as well. Several of my friends struggle with depression and a few have been diagnosed bipolar. The information available on depression and bipolar disorder as seen through astrology is difficult to interpret and not useful for application to the charts I have for friends and family. I understand there is a relationship between Saturn and Mercury for depression and Uranus for the mania, but what is the relationship in the natal chart? Does it involve Aquarius (with Uranus as ruler and Saturn as traditional ruler)? Can it be seen through harmonics? If so, what harmonic? Have any of you done research for an astrological marker to help identify depression or bipolar? What about transits/progressions as a method for determining when the cycles might shift in or out of depression/mania?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or leads you can provide.

Alois adds: I am sorry, but we do not give personal advice in the guestbook area. We would be overwhelmed with requests, if we started. I also do not feel competent regarding the questions you are raising.

I recommend to remain rather skeptical towards any claims by astrologers about rigid relationships between particular planetary constellations/movements and the mental health problems you mention. Some astrologers make unqualified claims without the necessary careful study of each individual case. I do not think that medical advice by email, without an extensive interaction with the patient(s), would be responsible professional work.

[added later] I asked a friend who is working as a trained psychoanalyst and astrologer, and this is what she commented:

I am pretty appalled by the freedom with which the diagnosis "bipolar" seems to be handed out in the US at the moment; it is obviously the fashionable diagnosis, so everyone with any emotional problems is receiving it, which makes the whole diagnosis meaningless. This is probably connected with some particular medication which is popular at the moment, and cynical though it sounds, fashions in psychiatric diagnosis tend to follow fashions in new medications. I have in fact kept an astrological eye on what used to be called manic depression (and is now called bipolar), and have found that it has little to do with Uranus.

Alois adds: No, we don't. We have little interest in 'sidereal astrology' and would not know which guru's ayanamsa to choose. They have all different ones and fight a lot about it. You can create a simple sidereal ephemeris on the Swiss Ephemeris test page, if you study all the options.



I have found your site extremely helpful and I keep coming back for all sorts of usuful information.
I have a question about my personal chart nd although I am not sure you could answer to me through the feedback page I am going to ask it anyway as I would like to hear the opinions of other people reading the feedback files as well. I am a Leo with the sun on the 3rd degree of Leo with Cancer rising on the 29th degree of Cancer. So the first house of my chart begins at the end of Cancer but it is situated mostly in Leo. How should I interpret that? Is my ascendant trully Cancer or Leo? And my first house is situated on Cancer or Leo? Please anyone with thoughts on that contact me.
Thank you and a happy 2003!

liebes astro team!
eine frage zu den herrschenden planeten: wie kommt es, dass bei manchen planeten zwei zeichen zugehörig sind, so zb bei merkur jungfrau und zwilling? oder umgekehrt: skorpion gehört bei manchen astrologen pluto an, bei anderen aber mars... ich zb habe skorpion aszendent. nun hab ich also die wahl: hier bei der astrodeutung war mein herrscher mars im 2. haus, bei einer anderen skorpion im 12. haus. ich finde das etwas verwirrend und frage mich, warum das diesbezüglich nicht eindeutig ist.

Please know how grateful I am for your service. I wrote a quick question before I understood the feedback--and I wrote incorrectly. When I got back into the site today it was with great trepidation I read the messages, realizing I put in the wrong info and maybe should not have asked the question. And there was my question and a direct honest answer! So I will try to ask again with the right info.

Currently I have a saturn retrograde trine the sun transit. According to your site I will experience difficulty/challenges in about 4 years. I am currently in grad school for a MA in counseling. It is amazing how accurate the daily and long term readings have been for me during the past 6 months. In another year I will graduate and then it will take two years to work for liscensure. Finally I will take an exam and this will be close to 4 years in the future. I hope this is the only obstacle I will face. I began studying astrology aboaut 6 years ago and it is my joy. I would rather have a chart than a Rorschach to help me gain insight into another! Fortunately I've met some really excellent astrologers and hope to study again in the future when grad school is over. This site is invaluable to me now especially when I have no money and need free info! Please comment on the saturne retrograde trine sun transit and the four years in the future when I will encounter adversity. Respectfully, Skye

Alois adds: No need to trepidate - I do not always grumble or bite, and certainly not polite young ladies like yourself.

Please understand that we do not give personal consultations in the feedback area. I make only a slight exception in your case, as the mention of the '4 years' period in the text was actually misleading - it only applied to the trine which happes 10 years after the Saturn-Sun conjunction, i.e. 4 years before the opposition, but not to the other trine 9-10 before the Saturn-Sun conjunction. I have reworded the reading slightly to fix that.

You have no reason to worry. A Saturn Sun contact can very much be an experience of strength, not of difficulty, if you are prepared. I think you are already. Here is Robert Hand's text again:

Further training
At this time the circumstances of your life and your own inner energies are working quite well together. But this influence will not seem especially lucky; rather, your life as a whole will run smoothly, and whatever you do will come out well. Without any special sense of effort, you are actually able to make significant progress and get a great deal done. Take advantage of this and accomplish as much as possible. If an opportunity arises for further training to expand the range of your experience, take it, because you will build up a bulwark against possible adversity later on. The more you accomplish at this time, the easier it will be to live up to demands that will be made upon you a few years from now.

This is a time of preparation for the climaxes that come at the opposition and conjunction transits. Therefore you should use this period to make your world strong and secure against difficulties. This is also a good time for building up your physical strength rather than wasting it. If you waste your energy now, it won't mean immediate trouble, but in a few years, when you need strength and energy, you may not have it.

This is a good time to win recognition from others for your achievements. Employers or others with whom you work will be impressed with your diligence. And you should strive to impress them, because in a few years your goals will be challenged, but if you have convinced others that you are worthwhile, you will overcome those obstacles more easily.

Hola Alois! , I wanted to ask about Chiron in my chart.... What's the meaning? It says,
Chiron 5 Taurus 3'10 ,
I read somewhere that Chiron represents that domain of our lifes that is hurt, something that seems frustrating and that it can also show us the path for the solution...

1º dar las gracias porque me encanta la página.2º mi pregunta es: cuando se hace una carta natal para un personaje histórico que nace antes de que funcione el calendario gregoriano, ¿Qué calendario hay que utilizar el juliano o él gregoriano? porque depende cual utilice puede cambiar el sol de signo zodiacal.

Alois adds: For Julian Calendar dates, please add the letters 'jul' behind the year. For more information, please click on the [i] button besides the date entry field. It says:

Años antes de 100 A.D.
Cuando ingresa un año, generalmente puede omitir los dos primeros dígitos del número del año. Ej.: un valor año "79" será interpretado como "1979". Si quiere ingresar el año 79 A.D., deberá ingresar "079". Para el año 5 A.D. por favor ingrese "005".

El programa generalmente asume que son fechas del calendario Gregoriano. Si se requiere un fecha del calendario Juliano, por favor ingrese "jul" después del número del año, e.j. "1066 jul". Para la mayoría de las fechas históricas antes del año 1582 querrá ingresar "jul".

Decidimos no encargarnos del cambio de calendario en forma automática. Muchos libros de historia han convertido las fechas históricas al sistema Gregoriano, mientras que otras fuentes han mantenido las fechas en el sistema Juliano original. No es posible que nuestras computadoras reconozcan qué hizo la fuente de su fecha de nacimiento con respecto a la conversión del calendario.

Los años A.C. deben ingresarse como números negativos. Atención, debe utilizarse la cuenta de años astronómica. El año histórico 3 A.C. es -2 en el estilo de cuenta astronómica. La diferencia surge del hecho de que el estilo de cuenta histórica no tiene año cero, mientras que el estilo astronómico permite año cero.



A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all at Astrodienst. I have been visiting your site almost daily during the past year and have been very much impressed by your work.

Coming from a country where astrology has been studied analysed, practiced and held in very high regard for centuries and is still very much a part and parcel of daily life, I have been amazed by the accuracy of your information especially the natal charts. I have compared the calculations of the one issued at the time of my birth thirty something years ago( in Kandy, Sri Lanka) and the one you issued on the net. Your forecasts have helped me to deal with life during difficult times. Thank you very much and keep doing what you do because you do it well.

My best regard and good wishes for New Year 2003.

I have one question. The planets are usually ruled by different signs: the moon by cancer, saturn by capricorn... has ever been a moment in which each planet was in the right sign? when was it? or when will it be?

Gemma
--- Thursday, December 26, 2002 at 20:42 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I have analyzed the years -5000 to +5000 for you. If you include the outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, the answer is no.
The only years when Pluto was in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces were

-4371
-4372
-4373
-4374
-4858
-4859
-4860
-4861
-4862
-4863
-4864
4959
You also want Uranus in Aquarius, and this reduces the list to
-4863
-4864
However, Saturn was not in Capricorn in these two years. No match.

If you just use the traditional planets up to Saturn, things look different. I have not done the actual search, but I assume there will be such dates every few centuries. You also have double signs, like Capricorn and Aquarius for Saturn, Sagittarius and Pisces for Jupiter, Aries and Scorpio for Mars, which increases the chances of a match. Once you have matched Jupiter and Saturn, every second year will give you a matching Mars for a month or two, and then it might not be very hard to match the other planets too. Just check your ephemeris.

A match of Jupiter and Saturn happens for example in these years:

1402
1405
1429
1461
1462
1488
1520
1521
1547
1579
1580
1606
1607
1639
1640
1666
1699
1725
1758
1782
1784
1817
1844
1876
1900
1903
1959 sa,cp
1960 sa,cp
1962 pi,aq
2018
2019
2021
2022
2078
2081
2082
I only took two data points per year to make this list, so there will be adjoining years with matches, too (e.g. 1963)

Hi There,
I would like to ask you about one detail in your system. I am a member and I have some people's charts. But in your website if I change the referance place of one chart, the system appearently excepts or changes the reference place for all the charts in My Astro. For example I choose San Juan as a reference place for one of the charts I can see when I check other charts all have San Juan as the reference place. Is there any option that I can choose a different reference place for every chart? Thank you for your time. Sahin Guler....

Alois adds: The reference place is indeed global for all data in your profile.



My birth certificate says I was born at 4:27 AM CST in Chicago on Sept. 7 1955. However, I believe the area at that time was under Daylight Savings Time. Someone told me Illinois recorded all births as Central Standard Time. Do you know anything about this? The one-hour difference changes my rising sign. How should I record my birth time? Have you ever heard of this? Thank you very much for any info you can provide on this confusing subject.

Alois adds: Our data entry page requires 'wrist watch time' for data entry. Wrist watch time is what a normal person's watch, or a wall clock, will have shown at the location and date of the (birth) event.

Whether your birth certificate recorded wrist watch time (which would be usual and sensible practice) or a manipulated time we cannot know.

Alois adds: let's exercise some Christmas generosity.



I wanted to contribute some of my new learnings
in Astrology that are from a deep spiritual
journey. I am a 3rd house aquarian/venus/chiron
conj. opposing uranus in the 9th in leo.

Around the new moon of Gemini last may
(I explore lunar alchemy) I was projected into
alternatate consciousness in vision with Chiron
himself. Since Transiting Neptune is on my natal
Chiron/Venus its brings very subtle awarenesses
to my healing journey. Uranus right now my
abilities to astral travel and my regular work
with Shamanic Dreamtime sessions or entering
others dreamstates in my work with others has
allowed me to venture into the Astral Universrse.
(I have natal neptune/Jupiter/north node in
scorpio in the 12yh)

Chirons messgages to me was that his archetypal
teachings have more to do with 'where you have
wounded others, rather than the opposite and
his presence is a safety net, because whenever
one tries to reverse soul growth, where one has
wounded another, actually this lifetime wounds you.

This is contrary to most teachings about Chiron
and i felt blessed to be able to share this with
other astrologers and my clients.

Celebrating the Time of Peace or the Halcion
this Winter Solstice brings a new light to the
light bearer aquarians (the ancient lucifer)
to be able to process and understand that the
universe no longer accepts projecting inner
demons onto others anymore. The vibration cannot
sustain it anymore. So recognize the Devil, and
add your last name to this relationship, and then
greater awarenesses and also Peace within will
spread forth onto our planet in easier trasnitions
rather than difficult ones. In other words Honor
both the Light God and the Dark Goddess.

Blessings and Prosperity to all of you on this list....

Hi Alois: The more I explore your website, the more I'm amazed at all you've accomplished here. Your linkage is nothing short of masterful.
I notice you can adjust the orb size of the aspects from 0-150%. I assume 100% is the default amount. I've tried a few charts at 75, 100, and 150% but still can't pin down what the default size is. Do you use a different orb for the Sun Moon vs other planets? Do you decrease the Sun's orb between night day placements? (Some astrologers say the Sun has less influence when close to the IC.) I'll appreciate your help.

Alois adds: For the orbs we use in our standard chart styles, please see the page http://www.astro.com/info/in_aspect_e.htm and scroll to the bottom.

Orbs are a matter of personal taste, like the dress you wear. Our standard web styles use Liz Greene's customary orbs. Other chart styles have rather different settings, but these are currently not documented on the website (you can try the definition files in directory /h/mthsrc but do not expect to understand anything or to get an explanation).

A user interface to allow full fredom in choice of orbs on this website would be far to complex. If you need that, you are better off with astrology software for your PC, like Kepler or Solar Fire.

Please be aware that a large orb does not say anything about the importance you place on an aspect. Wider orbs will have the effect that you see more aspects in a chart, so you don't overlook them. Whether you then consider aspects with a wide orb as relevant or not, is a decision you have to make when you interpret the chart - if you want to disregard wide orb aspects of a night Sun, the decision is up to you. You might still want to see those aspects, so that you can consciously decide, and learn.



Hi!
I just want to say that I do fully agree with the previous writer. Yes, of course we all want to hear that we will have a long and happy life. I hope that people can understand that the only person in the world who can make you happy is.... you!!! Life is a learning process and it has very pleasant, but also very painful aspects. I wish you all the power and creativity to do something positive with everything you meet on your way to happiness.
I want to thank all astrologers who help making this site for their excellent work and I hope it will be continued in the future.
And for you all (also readers!): have some nice days and be careful with firework...

I've read with interest the recent comments of several visitors to this site, with regard to the quality of the interpretations by various writers in the free reports offered here. Specifically, some people have felt that interpretations by Robert Pelletier and Robert Hand were too negative. Out of curiosity, I ran the free reports that Astrodienst offers by Pelletier and Hand for personality and character analysis, for myself and several other people I know well.

Now, I admit that I don't know Robert Pelletier from Adam, while I do know Robert Hand, having consulted him several times in the last few years, when I felt that I could use the opinion of an objective outsider who knew more astrology than I do. Robert Pelletier can certainly be blunt, but I don't know that that is necessarily destructive. I found that he accurately identified some character weaknesses, or flaws, in myself and the other people I looked at, which it was perhaps uncomfortable to admit to oneself. Moreover, I do agree with Alois that it should be kept in mind that short excerpts taken out of context from a longer text can give a false impression of the whole.

As for Robert Hand, I have to say that I have nothing but unmitigated admiration for his work. I have found out the hard way that, when he gives an interpretation of a transit that might seem negative in tone, you should just accept it and take it very seriously, because he is invariably right. Case in point, in my own chart I have for some time now had to deal with the transit of Neptune squaring my natal Mars. Rob's interpretation, which was excerpted on this site under Important Long-Term Influences, was certainly extremely negative. Unfortunately for me, it was also dead right. He could not have been more accurate.

Interestingly, Liz Greene's interpretation of the same transit, as written in my Horoscope 2000 report, was much more positive. In fact, had I just read the two interpretations without knowing what transit was being discussed, I would not have been able to tell that she and Rob were talking about the same transit. Am I to assume from this that Liz Greene is not as accurate in her interpretations as Robert Hand? I don't think so, for a couple of reasons. Number one, I know from past experience ordering Liz Greene's reports that she is so accurate, I do sometimes wonder if she is simply psychic, and not just using astrology to get her results. Number two, I know from reading her books that she is very concerned to phrase her interpretation of negative transits in a way that will not unduly upset or scare her clients. This is surely admirable. On the other hand, it can perhaps sometimes cause a client to be unprepared for the nasty reality that is about to be experienced.

So anyway, I just felt that I should maybe speak up for Hand and Pelletier, because having recently lived through some very negative transits, I know that it can help to validate your own experience when someone else tells you that yes, this is a bad time for you, but it will definitely end by such and such a time. I tell myself this now, when I read the Chiron transits presently gracing my Astrodienst readings. You want to feel depressed, try reading the interpretations of Chiron conjunct Chiron, or Chiron opposition Ascendant, or Chiron opposition Uranus, all of which I have at present. Ouch!

Alois adds: Thanks, Pam, for you feedback, which is as always worthwile to read. I admit that I have my difficulties with some of the Pelletier readings. But I can also see the value of his blunt, no-nonsense interpretations. We have an ongoing project of editing his text to take of the edges, but with the recent gigantic work our online editors had to put into the new foreign languages for the website, there has not been much progress with this task.



Guten Tag,
wann sind zwei Menschen aus astrologischer Sicht besondert gut für eine Partnerschaft geeignet?Gibt es soetwas wie eine Bauernregel? Kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass eine Partnerschaft harmonischer verläuft, wenn es in den Horoskopen der Betroffenen mehr Übereinstimmungen gibt (Planeten stehen in identische Zeichen, gleiche Aspekte usw.)? Mir ist schon klar, dass das Horoskop eines Mannes etwas anders gedeutet wird als das einer Frau (hier meine ich speziell die Planeten Sonne, Mond, Mars und Venus). Natürlich kommt es auch auf die Gesamtheit des Horoskopes an und: Die Betroffenen müssen sich verlieben (sonst geht wohl gar nichts).

Monika Schmidt [ Tolle_Trolle.xyz*xyz.web.de --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Bochum, Deutschland --- Sunday, December 22, 2002 at 15:21 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Solche Bauernregeln gibt es, jeder Bauer hat seine eigenen. Sie sind ungefähr so wertvoll wie diese: Kräht der Gockel auf dem Mist, ändert sich das Wetter oder es bleibt wie es ist.

Die Interaktion zweier Horoskope ist von Natur aus komplex, man hat doppelt so viele Horoskopelemente und die Anzahl der Wechselwirkungen steigt quadratisch an, im Vergleich zum Einzelhoroskop. Das macht es selbt für erfahrene Astrologen schwierig, eine zuverlässige Einschätzung einer Beziehung abzugeben. Meist muss man sich darauf beschränken, die tatsächlich wahrgenommenen Wechselwirkungen astrologisch zu beleuchten.

Manche Menschen brauchen Spannung, andere suchen Harmonie - aber es ist keineswegs einfach, dieses Bedürfnis zuverlässig aus dem Einzelhoroskop abzulesen. Ausserdem ist es zeitlich nicht konstant.

Sehen Sie sich die verschiedenen Arten von Partnerschaftshoroskopen, die wir anbieten, einmal gründlich an, und wählen Sie, was Ihnen vom Stil her am ehesten zusagt.



Ciao! Vorrei sapere se avete intenzione di aggiungere i Noduli alle mappe per approfondire il lato della missione spirituale di ognuno di noi nella presente vita. Ho letto il libro Astrologia, Karma e Trasformazione di Stephen Arroyo, e mi ha fatto molto impressione.
Personalmente ho trovo il vostro modo di mettere le cose molto soddisfacente: in altre interpretazioni della mia mappa si legge pazzia e paranoia voi mettete le cose in un modo più soft, digeribile e ampio.
Congratulazioni, chiaro! Francesca.

Is there an empemeris for Eros? How important is it to include in the natal chart?

Jeanette K. Oswald [ starlady.xyz*xyz.atlantic.net --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Ocala, Florida,USA --- Sunday, December 22, 2002 at 00:16 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: You can create an ephemeris yourself in the Swiss Ephemeris test page. It is not important to include any asteroid in the natal chart, it can actually be rather confusing. Only after you have really understood the whole chart just with the regular planets, you can start playing with asteroids. Don't be seduced by Eros' name, it is just a minor asteroid. Look at Venus in your chart to understand 'Eros' as a theme.

In der heutigen Zeit können werdene Mütter problemlos bestimmen, um wieviel Uhr ihr Baby per Kaiserschnitt auf die Welt kommen soll. Dies ist nach meinem Verständnis keine normale Geburt. Wie wirkt sich in diesen Fällen das Horoskop auf das betroffene Kind aus?

Monika Schmidt [ Tolle_Trolle.xyz*xyz.web.de --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
, Deutschland --- Saturday, December 21, 2002 at 23:03 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Was ist schon 'normal' - dass wir Fussbodenheizung und prall gefüllte Supermärkte haben und nicht alle paar Winter einige Mitglieder der Sippe verhungern, erfrieren oder vom Säbelzahntiger verspeist werden, ist das 'normal'? Der Begriff der Normalität ist sehr relativ für die jeweilige Kultur.

Die Astrologie ist pragmatisch - sie arbeitet mit der realen Geburtszeit, aus welchen Gründen auch immer diese zu Stande kam. Bewusst aus astrologischen Gründen die Geburtszeit zu beeinflussen fällt unter das Kapitel Hybris, so wie andere Manipulationen im Bereich der 'Reproduktionsmedizin' auch. Das müssen die verantworten, die sie praktizieren.

Auch nach meiner eigenen Erfahrung gilt das Horoskop des tatsächlichen Geburtsmoments. Ich kannte bei meinen Töchtern die Geburtszeit bereits am Tag vor der Geburt, hätte sie aber nur unter grössten Bedenken aktiv beeinflussen wollen. Die "medizinischen" Sorgen sind in einer solchen Situation meist wichtiger als die astrologischen.

Eine gewisse Widersprüchlichkeit in meiner Haltung ist mir bewusst - wie kann man von der Astrologie überzeugt sein, und sie in einer solchen Schlüsselsituation nicht aktiv "zum Besten des Kindes" einsetzen wollen. Aber nur weil etwas machbar ist, ist es noch lange nicht gut, es zu machen, selbst wenn man die Astrologie wichtig nimmt. Das Horoskop eines Menschen ist so multidimensional und die meisten Menschen sind überraschend kreativ darin, wie sie die Konstellationen ihres Horoskops ausleben. Das Horoskop ist oft klüger als die Astrologen, die es zu deuten versuchen.

Zugleich sind die schwierigen Elemente eines Horoskops sowieso nicht zu eliminieren - irgendwo müssen Saturn oder Pluto usw. ja hinkommen; wichtige Aspekte zwischen den langsameren Planeten wird man durch eine Zeitmanipulation auch nicht los. Wenn man mit grösseren Aspektorben (10°) arbeitet, so dauert ein bestimmter Aspekt der inneren Planeten zu den äusseren ca. 20 Tage. So viel Spielraum hat man bei der Geburtsplanung nicht, ausser man ist SEHR manipulativ. Die Möglichkeiten, das Horoskop auszusuchen, sind also doch recht begrenzt. Daher ist es m.E. sinnvoller, auf Manipulationsversuche ganz zu verzichten und sich erst mal auf das Kind und die Geburt zu freuen.



Dear Liz Greene,

I love your new section Astrology for Lovers ...

Is it possible to purchase the book on line?

Alois adds: You find the 'lover' in all of the descriptions, even when there is no extra headline for her/him. The whole thing is called 'Astrology for Lovers', after all.



on the negativity/honesty issue: I find Liz Greene to be absolutely honest to the best of her perceptions (which are uncommonly deep) and whatever seemingly dark truths she unveils are invariably helpful in the most useful way, no matter how supposedly negative the analysis appears. Robert Pelletier, on the other hand, is simply destructive, especially to astrological newcomers and I'm surprised this kind of writing appears on a quality website such as this. In the case of Robert Hand: he lacks depth. Or, should I say, his perceptions are shallow. So, I give Liz 10 out of 10, Robert Hand 5 out of 10, and Pelletier a big fat zero.

ian sadler
vancouver, canada --- Saturday, December 21, 2002 at 04:51 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I agree that there are significant differences in quality of writing between the various authors we are working with - as there are, for example, between teachers working at a particular school or university. In life, you have to work with what you have got.

However, I do not agree with your judgement of Robert Hand's writing. The longer we work with his text, particularily on Transits, the more respect I have got for his work. Many of his short transit descriptions are brilliant, and they are certainly not shallow. The planetary events are often shallow, i.e. most of the transits showing up in the daily horoscope arise from transiting Moon, Sun, Mercury and Venus, and these do often have no deep meaning, they are just ephemeral and hopefully entertaining.

Very little of the text in the free horoscope section is from Liz Greene. Only 'Astrology for Lovers', and while this is "just" sun-sign astrology, it is indeed deep, funny and very intelligent. We would love to have more of her in the free area, but we do not want to rip her work apart to present it in short 'point and click' bytes. The longer form of the printed reports with 20 to 40 pages is much more appropriate for her style, and this kind of quality has its price - we can't offer it for free. I do even think it would not be appreciated enough if it was for free.

A lot of the negativity issue arises from the fact that we present text in rather short quantities on the website, one screen-ful or popup-window-ful at a time. The perception of the reader is different than when he/she would be reading a lengthy printed report or a textbook. The impact of single sentences is much stronger in the web application. It is not necessarily the fault of the authors, who wrote their material originally for lengthy printed reports.

We are learning, and we are working on continuous improvements. Sometimes the bashing we receive is helpful. It is not that the customer is always right - I do certainly not subscribe to that silly idea, as is obvious from my responses. In many cases the customer is outright stupid. But one can always learn something from the feedback.

Eros is one of about 10'000 named asteroids. Eros is special as it approaches the Earth rather closely - for example in 2012 as close as 0.18 AU. On 12 feb 2001, the NEAR space probe was landed on it by Nasa.

Most asteroids are not 'important' in astrology, but sometimes to play with.

Don't be mislead by Eros' name. To understand the theme of 'Eros' in your chart, look at Venus, not at some obscure little asteroid.

Correction, that's Neptune/IC, not Neptune/MC. Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of visiting you.

That wasn't my intention. It was an attempt to simplify a concept -- and to create a dialog.

Alois, I think you need a vacation. Possibly ur reading too much into comments like mine. Ur making a pretty sweeping statement it's merely a generalization of yours, which I cannot take personally. Would you prefer no comments? or ones that you deem acceptable.

My view is that astrology, numerology, alchemy, etc are in the domain of spirituality. They're methods to learn and grow. I have many questions and I will continue to ask them so that I can understand what it is I am doing here.

berlin, ny --- Friday, December 20, 2002 at 08:14 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Sorry about the mistake. Yes, Neptune/IC does indeed read rather negative. We will edit it in due time. The problem is that the text comes from a 'teaching book', where the reader reads the whole text more or less at once. An occasionally negative tone is not so noticeable, as it is balanced by other sections. In AstroClick, when single text blocks jump at you as individual readings, the impact is much stronger.

Your feedback is welcome. I have received a few to many comments in recent days where readers were going on about the supposed negativity of our readings - it is strange how these reactions appear in chunks.

Signs and houses are stage background, the planets are the actors.

With our system, it is sufficient to enter the first two or three letters of a city name.

How many world leaders are older than this? How many film, opera,and other stars are glorying in this time of life? Artists and writers come into their own at this age. This is the third stage, free from travails, financial concerns, where we can really come into our own and glory in life.
I cannot believe this man and his negativity. It was always the hierarchical view and pracice that age gave the powerful more authority and power. Poor people were taught that they were old and useless.
Does Robert Hand subscibe to this view?

Alois adds: It is true that you have several transits which involve Saturn at this time or in the near future, and they are not simply nice and pleasant. It is very important to read the interpretations carefully and completely, and not to 'freak out' at a single sentence.

In any case you are misrepresenting Robert Hand's writing in your comment. You have been reading the text about Uranus Square Uranus, which is quoted in full below. If you read it completely, you will notice that the last sentence says precisely what you have been demanding.

I am quite surprised that you make statements about how you are going to feel next year in February. The transit is not here yet! You might be confronted at that time with feelings which seem so remote now.

On a pivot
25 February 2003 until 4 April 2003: This influence signifies the changes that take place as you approach old age. There is often a crisis associated with this period, when you suddenly realize that you are getting old. Roughly twenty-one years ago you confronted a crisis of reorientation. At that time you should have turned your attention toward your inner values, those that were important to you alone. If you handled that time properly, this period will not be especially upsetting. Your life as an individual will have enough richness that you will know how to handle the years ahead.

A common problem for people approaching retirement is that they have no idea what to do with their coming leisure time. All they know is their work, and when that ends, their life effectively ends. This is the crisis presented by this influence. You must realize that the richness of your life does not come only from your achievements in the outer world of business and society, but also from what you know and understand about life.



Dear Astro travel creators,

In consulting the Astro Travel to undertake an important life changing move, I am at odds with the results i.e. I have found areas that support me totally, though, when it comes to my three year old daughter that lives with me, the results read as dangerous, painful and disruptive for her. Can you tell me how strong an influence is the results on Astro Tavel, for our children? Do you need to be aware of their astrological energies to make a positive move? Could you offer other advise on finding a positive area to raise my child?

Alois adds: Please do not expect that much from AstroClick Travel. It is an entertaining online application of Astro-Maps, to allow you to get familiar with the concept. It is not intended as a decision tool for major life decisions. Please note the last sentence of the section 'Introduction to Astro Maps'.

We will edit the introductory sections of AstroClick Travel in the near future to point out the limitations of this free service.

Alois adds: Thanks for the feedback. The mansions of the Moon are not a concept used in mainstream western astrology - you might find more information on a Vedic/Hindu astrology website.

Our services represent the style of astrology practised by Astrodienst and its authors. There are many other techniques and styles of astrology which we do not cover.



I would just like to write that you website has been really helpful to me. I have just one question though - At the end of the forecast page there is a list of the signs which you have in each house e.g Cancer in the 12th house, I was just wondering why some of the houses are not filled in on the astro-click portrait. Would they be included in astrological analysis which you order.

I am wondering what everyone thinks about a couple things. first, what transits usually indicate that you might have a chance to travel? im asking because im hoping for one now LOL. i was just wondering if anyone else noticed that they often got to take trips when jupiter passed a certain point in their chart, etc. also, i am interested in anyone's opinion on my natal chart. i have had several interpretations and they all seem quite good. i have like every book ever written about astrology and have analyzed my chart extensively. i have found everything to be very accurate. its amazing how well astrology can describe someone's life if you look at the whole chart, and especially the rulers of each house. for example, i know someone with neptune rising who is the worst compulsive liar i have ever met - im not saying that all neptune rising people are dishonest, it depends on a lot of chart factors, but that one really fits her. anyway, my question is about me. i'd appreciate the thoughts of anyone who reads this page who wants to give an answer. ok, so I have my chart ruler, venus, in capricorn in the tenth house of career. i also have mercury, ruler of the second house, in aquarius in the tenth house. i think this means that im going to have a career as a famous singer. im sure there are other ways to interpret this placement but that's the one I like best, LOL. seriously, it sounds to me like a very good placement for what i want to do in life. anyway id appreciate anyone's thoughts. thanks!

Alois adds: We cannot see a reason for wanting it by email. If you call your daily horoscope up on your browser, and then add a bookmark to it onto your desktop, you can access your daily horoscope any time you click on this bookmark. This is better than email, which tends to arrive at a time when you are not interested in your horoscope.

By making a local bookmark, your daily horoscope is always exactly one mousclick away. If you want to see it for several people, you just make the appropriate bookmarks.

I have been coming to your site since, I believe '95. I really like it and it's very interesting and great that it's free.

Buuut, I find that the interpretations have a sort of negative tone. I don't want it to all of a sudden become flowery, but I'm curious as to your thoughts on this.

For instance, an interpretation is written by an author who is residing in a particular geographical location. That is influencing the way they present their interpretaions, correct?

It's a real question for me. My Neptune/IC line runs really near Zurich. The interpretation isn't so positive. Does that mean I shouldn't go there to meet you guys? Or does that mean that Astrodienst doesnt want me to come around?

Of course, there are other more positive aspects to Zurich, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

By the way, if you havent guessed already, I particularly like that Astro Click Travel.

Alois adds: Like with any writer on this planet, the writing is influenced by the personality of the writer, obviously, which again is related to the birth chart of the writer - much less by his/her location at the time of writing. If you don't like what one writer says, why not find another, or write yourself...

About a supposed negative tone of some horoscope readings: We do not sugarcoat everything. In most cases of comments like yours, when I looked at the text myself - here Neptune/MC in Astroclick Travel - I found that the commentator had apparently read only part of the text. If you read the four paragraphs of Neptune/MC instead of only the first two, you will find that it is not at all that negative, even when it indeed starts off that way.



I am curious about a saturn trine chiron transit today that indicates I will have challenges in about 4 years. Is this because I will be in a saturn return then? I am 56.

Harrisonburg, Va., USA --- Wednesday, December 18, 2002 at 05:59 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I am not aware that the reading for Saturn trine Chiron mentions such a time period. Saturn trine Sun does mention it. It has not directly to do with your Saturn return, which will happen in about 2 - 3 years.



I am posting again to acknowlege this wonderful site, and add the suggestion to providing to the chart wheel generation feature, what I have found to be called an, Astro Graph, or something along the lines of, Astro Cartography. Even though I have not read much about it at all, I have been tinkering with it and I have found some very consistant patterns, which I am applying succesfuly... well? I have not learned to set such a map up myself, (yet), and I am currently limited to 5 degree increments of location which do not include much accuracy.

I'll share the phenomenea. I have a home in a small wilderness area. The location is whithin miles, if not meters, of a, line, that I have identified as a, Venus, line. I think this is rather fateful, though, I recall no awareness of this, line, when I got the place. And I'll add that it was bought by accident, so to speak, as I had it mind that I was getting a different place nearby. In other words I bought the wrong lot.

My Venus is nataly 4 degree Libra in my 12th house in a trine to my Aquarian Saturn in my Capricorn ruled 4th. It is very private, secluded, lush with many kinds of life. It has a small stream with cascades, ponds with fish, small caves and steep forested rocky terraces.
As pleased as I am with it, I am seeking to better understand how this place attracted me.

I can add that I am a very curious person as to just how much astrology goes beyond the psychological. I understand that I could aquire and live out conditions without much awareness at all, to the point of allowing such a manifestation, as a destructive flood to this land, as my natal Neptune squares my 4th house ruler. What upsets me in this, is how this last week, Venus and Mars together, meanly aspected Neptune from my Natal Neptune onto my Natal Saturn, (Yes, my wonderful midlife Neptune square is in it's final passage), and rain poured from the sky, over much of the lands here in California, causing a great amount of destruction to rock works I had previously labored on. The damage is not really a suprise since I could have taken better measures to prevent it. It is as I said, upsetting, that it has not rained here like that, in December, for the last 5 years, and it is this timing in relation to my natal postions that frustrates my ability to accept that such things have occured simply out of my own psyche. That is unless I control the weather, which I also deny.
Thankfuly, my elder neigbors were very understanding of this natural occurance and helped out in reopening the damaged road and bridge.

I am left a bit bitter in regards to viewing astrology in just a mental way. I just have too many examples of weather and earthquake occurance that coincide with traditional astrological interpretations, in this place of the world. It seems the only logical means to accept that view is to accept that the collective psyche of the population here is responsible for all those occurances. That is still a tough one for me, (kinda).

---

I just examined the Astro-Travel feature.
Nice. Can I get Line pairs with that?
grin That is what I am after today.

---

On another note,
regarding the accuracy of the horoscope wheels produced at this site, I do come here from time to time, to verify charts I do for people in other places of the world. But I thought to mention that there is a factor that no amount of programming will solve, and that is simply that when a country decides to implement time changes, there is a period of resistance or a lack of compliance, from the people that live there, such as Canada during the enactment of Day Light Savings for instance.
My challenge was with Singapore for January of 1952. I do trust the accuracy here, but, after being with my parnter for over 10 years, tossing the issure of 30 minutes back and forth for the past year, in great depth, I have come to the conclusion that even though the site here is correct, the Doctors and Nurses and Clerks simply did not honor the recent changes in time zones. I find the attitudes of both the Canadians and the Peoples of Singapore rather amusing.

Just thought I'd mention that.

Merry Christmas!

Alois adds: You might make a thinking error. Doctors and nurses don't have to honor time zones, when they record a birth time. They only have to look at their wrist watch or wall clock and record the wrist-watch time. This is what they do, and this is what our data entry page requires to get entered.

It is our software which has to take timezones into account, and we do that VERY WELL, much better than you will ever be able to. You need not think about that issue for one second when you use astro.com - you will only introduce errors, if you use anything other than recorded wrist-watch time.



Thank you very much! Consulting Astrodienst en the free horoscope suddenly made things a lot clearer! Now at least I know I am not going bananas! One has to trust gutt feelings and read one's horoscope from time to time! When my finances pick up, I'll order! A big spiritual hug!

Dear Friends at Astrodienst - I have had great difficulty in finding out the answer to this question...It is about a planet in exile in a particular sign and house. I did a solar return for myself and I had venus in scorpio in exile and I have no way to reference it...since I've never heard of it. My colleagues seem to think that it is a Type O ---or orthographic error...but I don't think so...since it says exile in the tables at the bottom of the chart. Could you please briefly explain this to me...or indicate a place I could find this info...It is not in the Astro Dictionary, so I'm at a loss to find out its definition. Thank you so much.....Your friend --- Claudia....Oh another thing is ...is there a place on the net where I could find more info about the 9 persona charts and their dynamics in interpretation of an individual....Thanks again and Bye for now

Alois adds: It's a simple translation error. It should be 'detriment', which is the sign opposite to the sign ruled by a particular planet. The German word for this dignity is 'Exil', and it had been translated instead of searching for the traditional English expression.



I quote from your transits: If you don't reorient yourself, your life will become hollow and meaningless, regardless of what you accomplish from here on.
Transit selected for today (by user):
Uranus Opposition Uranus
activity period from 17 February 2002 to 17 January 2003. Is this not a little judgemental?

Apollonia
--- Tuesday, December 17, 2002 at 11:03 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I wonder who is judgemental here. Your's is a typical foul quote procedure - picking out the last sentence of a beautiful article about one of the most important once-a-lifetime transits. The last sentence should not be read by anyone who has not read the full story. Your quote is misleading.

Here is the full text (by Robert Hand):

This influence at the age of forty or forty-one marks a period of major transition in your life. This is the crisis of middle age when you have to come to terms with a number of realizations that may not all be pleasant. For example, even though you are not very old, you are no longer young. Have you accomplished or begun to accomplish what you wanted when you were younger? If you have, was it an appropriate accomplishment for you? Are you happy with your close relationships, your marriage, your work?

Many people encountering this influence discover that the answer to several of these questions is no. If this is your situation, you may become seized with a feeling of urgency that you have only a short time to correct the problem. Consequently you may begin to act rather disruptively and quickly. You may leave a marriage or an old job and take up a lifestyle quite different from your earlier one. Your friends are likely to be rather shocked at the change. You may spend more time with younger people, for their youth is a symbol of the opportunities you feel you have almost wasted. This seems to be your last chance to take advantage of those opportunities.

It is also quite possible that you make none of these drastic changes. If you have taken advantage of opportunities right along and have not allowed your life to become prematurely old and rigid, this time will not be so upsetting or disturbing. You will experience the real meaning of this influence ­ a climax of the direction your life has taken since childhood and a shifting of direction toward the issues you must confront in old age.

If you have been successful in your dealings with the outside world, you will continue to be, but now it will have to mean something in terms of your own life and perception. You will not be able to live for some external purpose, the purpose must come from within. If you don't reorient yourself, your life will become hollow and meaningless, regardless of what you accomplish from here on.

On the Personal Daily Horoscope, you always give the transit's meaning when the moon moves to a differet house number in the chart, but when the moon changes signs in the chart, you only mention it without giving any explanation of the influence. Why is that?

I have visited your site for quite a few years and I have always appreciated its services. The free charts and horoscopes are great services for the Web? community. However I find that what was once portrayed as a free service to enhance lives with little cost to the provider has become an information horde. This saddens me as it follows the trend, and is indicative of the future of human kind.
Thank you.

Alois: Dear Anonymous, I am sorry if you dislike the amount of information on our website. I fail to understand the term 'information horde', but I presume that you mean to say it is too much for you. Please try to find out where the 'off' button on your display is to protect yourself from information overload.

I also fail to understand what you mean by 'little cost to the provider'. In fact our free service is provided at very high cost to Astrodienst, as the ever growing number of users requires high bandwidth, a 'farm' of fast servers and permanent support, not to speak of the translation needs for those who do not understand English. Astrodienst spends between 20'000 and 30'000 US$ every month to provide the services of this website.

Part of the future of human kind are quality information services, and we are happy about this particular trend. We work actively to enrich it with the kind of very personal information we consider important. We are happy about the large number of visitors who enjoy our services, and for those who don't, the 'off' button is hopefully close enough. A wire cutter for your Internet connection is another low cost option - besides providing effective virus protection.



thank you for allowing people access to the astrological world, not only for readings but for your free chart service. it is comprehensive and easily accessible. thank you

answer to ann -amsterdam
it is possible quite easily to calculate repeted positions for conjunctions and other aspects if you know how long is the the revolution of the planets involved(how many years it takes them to circle the earth)...example:jupiter conjunct mars - jupiter takes 12 years, mars 2years 12by2=24 years.. or anotherexample: jupiter -saturn jupiter 12 years by saturn 29 years=348 years ...these results are not exact but it will give you an approximate position which you can then refine easier..

Alois adds: Thanks Dragan. It is possible that Ann meant not just a pair of planets, but that her question was, whether the complete configuration of her chart has ever happened before. The answer is dependent on what you mean by "the same configuration". If you want to be precise, i.e. by one degree, then the period will be much longer than the existence of the Solar system, i.e. 'never'. If you just want all planets in the same sign again, the repetition rate is about once per million of years.

Do chiron or the node influence people's personality in some way? If so, what's their influence?

Gemma
--- Friday, December 13, 2002 at 19:07 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I would not say that any planet 'influences' a person's personality. I would rather say that the configuration of planets at birth REFLECTS a person's personality. When you look into a mirror, the mirror does not "influence" you, but it allows you to look at yourself. You might then act upon yourself and "influence" yourself, depending on what you see or don't see or want to see.

For information about Chiron, please see the area 'Understanding Astrology' -> Advanced articles on our homepage. For the Moon's Nodes, we don't have much information at this time. If you look at them as the meeting point between the Solar and the Lunar plane of existence, you get a first hold of their meaning. They are not planets, they are places of (potential) encounter of planets and of planetary 'forces'.

I have a question I have been wondering about for a long time. I have a book called The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need by Joanna Woolfolk. The book contains tables that help a person find things out about their charts. I was born on August 3, 1965 at 12:05 p.m. An afternoon baby. According to the chart provided, my Ascendant is Scorpio. But the chart done by your website says Libra Ascendant. Which is correct? There was another inconsistancy, but I forgot which. I also have 2 retrogrades in my chart. Is there a certain age I have to be to overcome these? Thank you for your help.

Alois adds: The pompous title alone demonstrates already of what quality this book probably is. Please write to the publisher and ask your questions to them. The Ascendant does depend on WHERE you are born as well. I hope they have a different Ascendant table for each town.

Maybe the title of the book was meant as: "The only astrology book you will ever need for lighting your fireplace with." If you use one sheet each time it will last you long.



My daily horoscope is often very different from what is happening in my life, lately my horoscope reads positive when infact my life is not so harmonious.

hello - wondering about the gauquelin sectors.
i read that the following were the main points:

a: all of sector 12 and 10° of the 1st sector immediately adjacent the ascendant
b: all of sector 9 and 10° of the 10th sector immediately adjacent the midheaven
all of sector 6 and 10° of the 7th sector immediately adjacent the descendant
all of sector 3 and 10° of the 4th sector immediately adjacent the Imum Coeli

The fourth sector is nowhere near the imum coeli, for example. also, are the ten degrees prior to or after the angles? I'm more than a little confused.

Great site.

Dear Alois:
I certainly won't ask a third time! I wasn't sure I had asked correctly the first time and I certainly accept your answer. You do such a complete and thorough job, it would be foolish for us to complain. Since your program provides the progressed sidereal time, it is a relatively easy task to recalculate the position of the Ascendant if it makes any difference at all. I suppose I can watch this for myself and a few friends and decide. I am also influenced by the fact that you, with so much more knowledge, don't believe it to be useful.
Thanks again for your patience and service.

Hi AstroDiesnt folk,

For some time I have wondered whether you use the importance of planets in a person's natal chart to weight which transit will be selected as the choice of the day for the personal daily horoscope?

What made me wonder about this was that I have Sun in Cancer (but no other planets there), and it's pretty rare for a lunar transit to be selected by the computer as today's transit in my daily horoscopes.

However, I have a Gemini friend who has Moon in Cancer - i.e. the Moon is in its own sign and perhaps (to my novice thinking) is especially important in his chart? It appears to me that lunar transits are coming up all the time as the daily selection for him, even when he has non-lunar transits (e.g. Sun or Mercury) occurring.

Is there anything in this, and are you cleverly tipping the scales according to each person's needs, or is it just my imagination?

Let me add that I very much like your new current planetary positions feature on the homepage!

Cheers,
Kristie
(Australia)

Kristie
--- Monday, December 9, 2002 at 10:22 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Hi Kristie, thanks for your careful observation and interesting question.

We are cleverly tipping the scales in the personal daily horoscope, to weigh and select what is most likely relevant. But you have to keep in mind that we cannot simple look each day for 'the most relevant' transit. It would have the result that for many days in a row the same transit reading would appear, which most people would find boring and silly. You need to be aware of the fact that for each daily horoscope requested on our website, we always compute transits for the whole year for this chart, find the optimal distribution for 365 day-slots and then display the particular day-slot of the requested day. Our servers are VERY fast in doing this complex analysis, because every second they have to answer several requests for personal daily horoscopes.

Lunar transits, i.e. transits by the moving Moon, have the lowest priority in the selection. The Moon makes its circle through your birth chart in 27 days and repeats all transits with this frequency - while squares, sextiles and trines happen twice within each circle. This makes Moon transits the most frequent and the least interesting events, and they are only used in the daily horoscope if nothing better can be found for a given day.

How often we have to fall back to a Moon transit for a given chart depends on the overall distribution of the other planets in the chart. They may be "nicely" distrubuted in such a way, that their transits fill most of the 365 day-slots we have in a given year for the daily horoscope. Then you will find few Moon transits.

If the other planets are distrubuted in a way that they often compete for space in the same day slots, while there remain many day-slots to which none of the more important planetary transits can be attributed, then the program has to fall back to Moon transits more often. The placement of the natal Moon, or the weight on Cancer in the natal chart has little influence on the choice of Moon transits. In the average, about 60 out of 365 day slots are filled with Moon transits.

If for a given day there are several transits competing for the top place in the day slot, the weight evaluation is rather complex. The natal planet is evaluated according to its role in the chart, the nature of the aspect is considered, and slower transiting planets have much more weight than faster ones. But also another factor is taken into account: slower transits have a longer duration, and it does not really matter whether you find their reading a few days earlier or later in the daily horoscope - they have a long term effect anyway. Therefore, their reading is often shifted to a day when there is nothing else of relevance on that day. Faster transits with a short period of relevance cannot be shifted to another day, so they either get assigned to the current day slot or to none at all. This mechanism often lets a faster transit win for a particulr day-slot, because the reading of the slower transit is presented on another day within its period of relevance.

I hope I could explain this clearly enough; if not, please feel free to ask again.



Hi,
I'm curious to know, why some people have more major points than others, and some seem to be more cursed or blessed than others---to what are ones natal establishments linked to? Past lives and karma? Previous decisions in another dimension? Luck? Thank you and keep up the good work

In my post to you last Friday, I failed to express myself well. I certainly agree with your answer that the Natal chart would always be the basis for the progression of planets within the signs. My question was based on the progression of the angles for a person who has moved significantly north or south from the birthplace. I was instructed to use the progressed Sidereal Time from the progression of the Natal Chart but to use the current latitude to determine the location of the cusps and particularly the Ascendant. A review of the Table of Houses indicates the differences. For example, at latitude 34N, Sidereal Time of 0:00:00 has a MC of 0Ari, Asc=15Can01 35N is MC=0Ari, Asc=15Can34
36N is MC=0Ari, Asc=16Can07 At 43N, 44N, 45N MC remains at 0Ari but Asc is 20Can21, 21Can21, 21Can42. Having been raised in Los Angeles, CA(34N)and working 5 years in Anchorage, AK (61N), I don't need to consult a Table of Houses to realize that in Winter the time the sun rises and sets is much different.
One astrologer that uses the method of calculating the progressed angles using the latitude of the residence was Max Heindel. In his book Message of the Stars, he explains this on pages 483 and 484.
My question directed to you should have been Do you progress the houses based on the subject's current residence?

Alois adds: My answer was and is "no", and I explained already why I consider it illogical to do such a thing as you suggest.

But astrology has no fixed body of doctrine and no pope. It allows for personal choices of technique and interpretation according to taste. If your teacher wants it different, let him/her compute it differently. He can even make his pupils wear funny hats, and put the asteroid Dudu into every chart - anything goes, as my teacher Paul Feyerabend used to say.

Please be so tolerant to accept 'no' as an answer from me, and please don't ask the same question a third time.



Thank you regarding my question about the Ephemeris of Quaoar. Usually I do wait but nothing appears and I have to exit the website. I thought I would just try to wait a bit longer, and FINALLY it worked! I just hope that it will work the next time I try to view it. Thanks again!

I have a BIG question.
I was born in april 20 at 0h:15min. If the sun is in Aries from March 21 to April 20. Then I should be Aries. However, in the AStrodienst chart I am Taurus. How can this be possible? Any answer to this?

Roberto
--- Saturday, December 7, 2002 at 07:41 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The Sun does not change signs at midnight on fixed days in YOUR timezone. It changes signs at totally uneven times, and the exact date and time varies from sign to sign and year to year.

The 'sun sign lists' published in newspaper horoscopes are just approximate guidelines - you cannot rely on them if you are born on a border day around a sign change. One needs to compute the Sun's position for the particular date, time and location when you were born. This is what we do.

If you follow a good newspaper, you will often find a note around March 20/21 that the spring is about to begin at a certain date and time, e.g. March 20 2002, at 7:16 pm Universal Time. This is when the Sun entered Aries this year. Next year it will be March 21, 2003, at 01:00 am Universal Time, and in 2004 it will be March 20, at 06:49 am.

The same variation happens with all sign changes.

Alois adds: Please see 'Old Feedback files archive', for 19 Juli 2001 and 31 Aug 2001.

I wrote there to similar questions:

The phase of the Moon is represented by the angle between the Sun and the Moon in your birth chart, starting at the Sun, counterclockwise. Zero degrees will be a new moon, 90 degrees a growing half moon, 180 degrees a full moon, etc.

Dear ..., the angle from the Sun, forward in the zodiac, to the Moon, is the Moon phase. Just look at the angle between these two planets in any chart drawing.
If you find this too difficult, please use the 'Lunar Phases Fertility Calendar' (under the group 'Astrodienst Spezial'). It gives the Phase of the Moon already computed, as a value between 0° and 359°,



Firs of all I'd like to say that astro.com is a great site!!! and I've learnt a lot from it.Big thanks to all people who created and take care of it.
I have a question.IF a person is born with Ascendent in Cancer and Sun in Sagitarius,and later in life it will progress in Ascendent in Leo and Sun in Capricon,does it mean that this persons personality will change into more Leo ,Capricon like? I would be very grateful for an answer.Thank you.Warm regards.Ania

Alois adds: No, not really. The birth chart remains always the relevant horoscope. One might discover new sides inside oneself, or other persons may see you a bit differently when the progressed Asc changes. But to me this is mostly theory.

I personally have never been really impressed with the results I got from progressions - contrary to transits, which I tend to feel strongly. But I respect those more experienced astrologers who work with progressions.

Alois adds: You can help this process by ordering many items in Spanish from AstroShop. The higher the demand for reports in a particular language is, the more investment we can make into additional translations into that language. The free service is totally dependent on successful sales in the shop - it could not exist without the money we make from sales.



A wonderful service you provide!
One question: your progressed charts are based on the Native's birth place. Shouldn't they be calculated on the place where the person is living at the moment rather than somewhere many degrees of latitude and longitude different from the natal chart?

Hatch [ jalapep.xyz*xyz.innercite.com --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Somerset, CA, USA --- Friday, December 6, 2002 at 19:04 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Would make no sense to me. I never saw an astrologer suggesting such a technique.

Progressions are a symbolic extension of the natal chart in its development during the WEEKS after birth (with the SYMBOLIC rule 1 day = 1 year of life). I cannot see how the current place of living should be entered there - if anything, then the place where you lived N days after birth, if you do progression for age of N years.



You said, VOC Moon it is not commonly used in the German speaking countries... Very interesting, how the astrological tradition and practice varies!

For your consideration, my suggestion follows for implementing a Moon VOC feature on the Personal Daly Horoscope page:
My Down Time (Personal Moon VOC) 11:22pm - 3:58a (Tue)
World Down Time (Moon VOC) 8:15pm - 3:58a (Tue)

I've found VOC very useful for planning my activities. When the moon is void, it is a good time to read, reflect, restore, do one's laundry. At this time, rushing to catch a plane, meeting a friend or a client, or expecting a positive outcome to a planned activity results in frustration.

It is even more interesting to compare personal and mundane VOC times. With a personal VOC time beginning later than the mundane time, one's own trip to the airport may go smoothly but one might notice fustration and missed connections for many others. Conversely, with a personal moon VOC beginning earlier than the mundane time, one might have a bad day where nothing goes right while everyone else is sailing smoothly (until the others' bad days kick in). This is very useful in the business world where we must collaborate with others and commitment and follow-through are standards of performance.

As a software developer, you might notice bugs, configuration problems, and customer service issues are more tenacious during VOC periods. That's been my experience! Of course, my experience of the Moon VOC periods may reflect my own natal chart. The astrological axiom applies: Your mileage may vary. Still, a very useful tool for daily consideration.

Dear Alois and all Astro.com users, happy hollidays!
I'd just like to give Astro this most useful web site idea as the coming Festivity (Winter Solstice) gift:
- I always seem to forget people's birthday dates, moreso if they aren't relatives of mine. Taking that all my important friends and/or clients have been included in My Astro, why not add the functionality of alerting me to their coming birthday?! Those alerts/warnings could be included in the personal horoscope page - which is my browser's home page thus most probably (but not always) the 1st page I see each day - or sent to me via email or both.
I notice Astro.com is totally wasting the power of emailing to its competitors advantage. The daily horoscope could be sent to everyone of us in a shorter form, for instance just the computer selected transit, reminding us everyday that visiting Astro.com is to our advantage. This plus an advance(user set X days period) reminder of the next coming birthday would be most useful. Example: Pedro, you're 5 days away from Maria's birthday... [...maybe you'd like to offer her the Personal Horoscope Calendar...].
Please, Alois, bear in mind that this suggestion is genuine and offered to you in total good will and sincerety, a small karmic repay for all the good you have brought to the world.
Best wishes to everyone who cross this path!

A wonderful service! But I wonder if I've overlooked a place where you offer Moon Void Of Course times. It would be useful to see that on the Personal Daily Horoscope page. Even better would be both the mundane VOC (affecting everyone) and the personal VOC times (beginning with the last transit of the moon to planets in the natal chart). I first saw the calculation of personal VOC times in the Matrix BlueStar application (circa 1985 -- how far we've come!). Or perhaps VOC is not so useful in your opinion?

Daniel
Marin County, California, USA --- Friday, December 6, 2002 at 02:27 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Void of course Moon is on our to-do list. The question is not its usefulness. A fact is that VOC Moon it is not commonly used in the German speaking countries, where our roots as an astrological computer service are.

The personal VOC is an interesting concept and new to me. As we list Moon transits, it would be sufficient to list Moon sign ingresses. Then it is easy to deduce that the time between your last Moon transit and a given Moon sign change is your personal VOC Moon period.



First of all this is an excellent web site and thank you for all your hard work into making thisc site what it is today. Second of all, I am unable to view Ephemeris Of Quaorar.

Fabulous site - thanks for making it available. Regarding the Relationship Composite charts that are offered for US50 - I read over the sample Prince Charles and Camilla report - very interesting. But I think it would be very helpful if in the margins of the report the particular aspects (e.g. the male subject's Sun opposite the woman subjects Venus)that gave rise to the particular text interpretation. I had a similar chart done in London and they indicated the aspects in the margins in this way. Could this feature be added in the future? It greatly helps to understand the interpretation. Many thanks, Kim

Detroit, USA --- Thursday, December 5, 2002 at 19:09 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Thanks for your comment and your question. A synthesized report like Liz Greene's Relationship horoscope is not composed in such a way that each text section would be associated with a particular isolated horoscope factor. Therefore no such annotation is possible. This is different for more primitive, cookbook-style reports which do not synthesize.

The text of the Relationship Horoscope is completele free of astrological terminology. Its purpose is not to teach astrology, but to help understanding a relationship. This is difficult enough, without attempting to teach astrology at the same time.

By the way, the Relationship Horoscope is not based on the Composite alone. It uses synastry aspects between the two natal charts, and triggering effects between the composite and each natal chart, in addition to the composite.



Even though many astrologers prefer the Sagittarius ascending United States' chart for July 4, 1776, I am using the alternative Gemini ascending chart

The current rate is 400 Swiss Francs (approx. 270 US$). Liz Greene could of course charge much more, but she chose these modest fees, as she does not want to see only wealthy clients.

I found on-line a scientist that stated the charts that were devised in ancient times are invalid today, but they are still used. He says that the Earth shifts on its axis, and that makes the constellations go into the Zodiac at the wrong dates. Like March 23 should be Aries, but in his mind the Sun is in Pisces. Can you explain what, if any adjustments for all of this have been made over time? This is the only thing negative that I ever hear concerning the accuracy of astrology, and I would like to understand what's going on.

Salut Alois!!!

ich war grad im Begriff, die Feedbacks zu lesen, als mich langsam die Langeweile überkam...
Plötzlich aber ging mir ein Licht auf! Siehe da, hier stehen doch tatsächlich auch noch Antworten dazu, teilweise zumindest. Und als ich diesselben las, konnte ich mir hin und wieder ein Lächeln kaum verkneifen. Echt witzig, dieser gewisse Sarkasmus, der an manch Stellen durchzuschimmern vermag. Find ich gut, dass du's so locker siehst. Nun jedenfalls zu meiner Frage, nachdem ich dir ein wenig Zeit gelassen habe, dich auf deinen Lorbeeren auszuruhen...grins...(nun kannst mir grad noch beweisen, ob's du noch immer so angehst...)
Also, ich hatte mein persönliches Geb.-Horoskop bestellt und erschreckend (hätt nie gedacht, dass ihr sooo rasch seid!) schnell gesandt bekommen. Ich sog jeden Satz in mir auf und mich gelüstete nach mehr...nööö, das wollt ich nun nicht sagen, aber mein Problem besteht nun darin, dass einmal gesagt wird, dass das Mutterbild im Horoskop unter anderem auch etwas über das Verhältnis, welches ich zu mir und auch zu anderen Frauen habe, aussagt. Dies war ein Punkt, der mich brennend interessierte aber leider auch der Punkt, der bis zuletzt nicht befriedigt wurde... das heisst, es stand einfach nichts darüber. Ich glaube auch nicht, dass ich das zwischen den Zeilen Stehende nicht herausfiltrieren könnte und kann mir vorstellen, dass es vergessen wurde, diesen Aspekt unter die Lupe zu nehmen.
Nun lautet meine Frage (nach langem Faseln, was zu meiner Leidenschaft gehört...grins), ob man mir was Genaueres darüber erzählen könnte, so im Nachhinein und angefügt an die Analyse?

Ich wär dir sehr zu Dank verpflichtet, wenn du mir darauf eine seriöse (und trotzdem witzige? Gott o Gott, hab ich wieder Ansprüche!!!) Antwort geben könntest.

Ich danke dir schon im Voraus.

Wenn du Lust hast, kannst du mir direkt auf meine Mailadresse schreiben.

Alois adds: Danke für die Veilchen.

Zu Ihrer Frage zum Mutterbild: Ich denke, Liz Greene könnte Ihnen in einer persönlichen Beratung etwas genaueres dazu erzählen. Das ist aber nicht Teil des Service, den Sie bei uns bestellt haben, und es ist schwierig, einen Termin bei ihr (in Zürich, in Englisch) zu bekommen - der Preis ist hingegen mit 400.- Fr. günstig für die vermutlich beste Astrologin der Welt.

Ansonsten ist natürlich auch die Lektüre von Liz Greene's Büchern lohnenswert, wobei ich nicht konkret angeben kann, wo sie etwas zum Thema Mutterbild sagt. Vielleicht in "Sonne und Mond" oder in "Schicksal und Astrologie - die Familie im Horoskop". Das ist aber keine leichte Lektüre. (siehe http://www.astro.com/people/greene_pub_g.htm )

Normally, this would be Dieter's work, but he is curently in southern Africa watching the solar eclipse.



I use your Ebertin and Keller midpoint charts a lot. The service is excellent and I thank you for its provisions.
I have searched high and low for any references to Keller and can find none whatsever! Can you provide any references please?
Whilst writing I would like to say how appreciative I - and several friends- would be to have the convenience of a 45 degree listing. (As I use a Macintosh - dictated by other considerations - I find it imposssible to find any real choice in suitable mid-point software)
Again many thanks for your services.

Alois adds: Michael Keller of Bern, Switzerland used to be a customer of Astrodienst for many years, and he had his special requirements. Mr Keller ordered thousands of charts from us, and he was an active researcher in regard to history and to earthquakes. I have never met him, and he stopped ordering from us in 1994, maybe because he got his own computer. I have written to him and hope to get some more information, which I will place here in addition to this reply.

For midpoints in 45° sequence, a trick can be used: run the 2nd harmonic chart, use the 90°-order table in the extra data tables, and take 1/2 of each listed value. This is equivalent to a 45° listing.

This is as good as we can do - we do currently not touch this code to add new features. We just give away for free what we created years ago when this kind of calculation service was still a viable business and we had customers who paid for such printouts.

Alois adds: Thank you for the comment, Amy. Astrodienst and its key author Liz Greene have always been sensitive towards the issue of same-sex relationships. We took great care that our professional reports could be worded properly and had options for same-sex relationships. Gender dependence in language is minimal in English, but a complex issue in languages like French or Spanish.

It has been a "user interface" challenge to integrate this feature into the free horoscope area on our website WITHOUT having to ask each person on the natal data entry page about his/her sexual preferences. I think we have found an elegant solution to offer this choice for those who want to use it, without bothering everybody with indiscrete and very personal questions.

We are happy that our efforts are acknowledged. 'Dienst' means 'service' in German, and we really like to serve. By the way, the word is pronounced like 'deenst'.



Sehr ärgerlich finde ich, dass die Personen die ich in mein Profil eingebe regelmäßig verschwinden. Und dafür Daten und Namen von Menschen, wie ein gewisser Edmund, den ich gar nicht kenne, darin wiederum auftauchen. Das finde ich sehr schade, da ich die Horoskope eigentlich sehr regelmässig lese und verwende.

Alois adds: Es tut mir leid, wenn Sie uns 'sehr ärgerlich' finden. Ihr Problem kann nur passieren, wenn Sie jemand einen Link zu Ihrem Profil geschickt haben, oder jemand Ihren Computer benutzt. Vielleicht hat sich der am 28.9.41 geborene Edmund Stoiber auch via bayerischem Geheimdienst eingeschlichen ;-)

Sie können das leicht unterbinden:
nach 'mein astro' gehen, Profil registrieren, wenn es das nicht schon ist, und dabei die Option 'hohe Sicherheit' waehlen. Aendern Sie vorsichtshalber auch noch Ihr astro.com-Passwort.

Der einzige Nachteil von 'hohe Sicherheit' ist, dass Sie bei jedem Besuch auf www.astro.com sich in Mein Astro einloggen müssen. Dafür kommt niemand, der nicht Ihr astro.com-Passwort kennt - auch wenn er Zugang zu Ihrem Computer hat - an die Daten in Ihrem Profil.



Madame, Monsieur,

Astrodienst fournit généralement des services de qualité ainsi, on constate aisément que le site est d'une excellente tenue et que l'information semble rigoureuse et inspirée.

Seule ombre au tableau : la traduction française. En dépit de l'effort consenti, il s'agit le plus souvent d'un vulgaire calque réalisé à partir de l'anglais. (J'ajouterai qu'il est impossible que la langue maternelle du traducteur soit le français.)
Bien entendu, je ne désire pas nuire à la personne qui s'est chargée de la traduction. Par contre, j'aimerais que l'équipe d'Astrodienst sache que certains lecteurs francophones demeurent sceptiques quant à la réussite d'une telle entreprise.

Bien à vous,

Ahmed CHAMOUR

i am wondering if your software makes an automatic correction for daylight savings time for births in the united states. i have constructed a chart on your site which seems to have not done that.

Alois adds: It does, of course. For more information, please click on the [i] info button beside the 'hour' field on the data entry form.

Prior to the Uniform Timezone Act of1967, there existed no unified timezone regime in the the USA. Each state, and in some states each county followed its own rules. All details of this complex timezone history are precisely recorded in our database and applied automatically on data entry.



I am in love with a woman and want to marry her. I was wondering, is there anyplace on your sight that I might go to find out the best date for our marriage? Does it have something to do with our composite chart?
Thanks

Alois adds: We do not provide this kind of service. To select a particular date for an event by astrological means is called 'electional astrology', a field we do not practice at Astrodienst.

You might subscribe to the 'extende date choice' on our daily horoscope, and then scan forward in time and check those dates which seem practical for you in regard to your and your woman's daily horoscope. This procedure will give some useful information, but it does NOT follow the more specific rules of electional astrology.



Sehr geehrtes Astroteam!

Ich bin die letzten paar Einträge im Gästebuch durchgegangen und dann auf den 29.11. gestoßen, wo ausgeführt wird, welches Zeichen welchen tag zugeordnet wird. Hat das irgendeine besondere Bedeutung (zb wenn man an einem bestimmten Wochentag geboren wird)?

Alois adds: Das sind uralte Traditionen, gemäss denen die sieben Planetengötter den sieben Wochentagen zugeordnet wurden. Man darf vermuten, dass die Woche genau deshalb sieben Tage hat, weil es sieben sichtbare Wandelsterne am Himmel gibt (Sonne und Mond zählen dazu). Unsere alten kulturellen Traditionen haben mit Sicherheit eine Bedeutung - aber ich würde jetzt nicht eine spezielle Wochentagsastrologie begründen wollen. Dass die Sonntagskinder sich für etwas besonderes halten, wissen wir bereits. Lassen wir sie in dem Glauben. In Wirklichkeit sind natürlich die Dienstagskinder die besten ;-)

Es gibt das Konzept der 'Regenten' in der Astrologie: Jedes Tierkreiszeichen hat einen Regenten, hier Herrscher genannt. Daneben gibt es die Wochentagsregenten, die Regenten für die Dekaden - Drittelstücke der Tierkreiszeichen, sowie diverse Systeme von Jahresregenten.

Das sind relativ alte astrologische Konzepte, mit denen ich nicht sonderlich vertraut bin. Vielleicht bringt Ihnen eine Google-Suche mit den genannten Begriffen mehr Information. In English heissen die Regenten 'ruler'.



Thank you for your free horoscope readings. I have a imited understanding of astrology, but was blown away by the accurancy of your readings. Of course, the true challenge for me is in the interpretation and application!

I never imagined that a computer generated report could be as indepth and right on as Liz Greene's are. I have ordered the yearly report for myself and friends, numerous times.

Question: if I order a gift certificate do I have to wait to receive the hard copy before I can send some kind of identifying number to the gift recipient? I believe I read that she could access her gift on the website. Since her birthday is Dec 3, I hope to e-mail her the info by that date.
Thank you--yours is the best astrological source on the web.

--- Monday, December 2, 2002 at 05:05 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The gift certificate is really a nicely printed and exclusively wrapped certificate, which is more fun to give than just a code number. But if you send an extra note with your order, and mention that Alois told you to do so, of the certificate, our staff can email you the certificate code and your friend can use it 12 hours later.

However, the report itself will never be emailed. Your friend will have to wait for the physical shipment. I presume you are aware of that.



I wish: There was a list of current positions on the charts or a nice neat little square with them in it that I could move around. I do make myself one in an extra window, but please spoil me more than you already have. A chatter like msn has with the current positions would be real cool too. = D Where can I get more information on progressing a composite chart? Thank you, Loren

Dear Sir,
Perhaps I should not have asked you the previously posted question as you are the master of calculations and timezones as compared to psychology. However, if you could be so kind as to direct me to an email address for Liz then I could ask her myself. Thank you.

Joseph
--- Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 21:49 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Please see Homepage -> Phone/Fax/Address for email contacts of staff members and authors. However, I consider it unlikely that your particular question would receive an answer.

To many questions in life, the answers need to be worked out by yourself. Otherwise, try Google. He is very patient, even with silly questions. He is also surprisingly wise and 'psychological', considering that he is just a computer concerned with calculations and databases.



Hi! Justa wanted to say thank you for one of the best synastry reports I've ever come across!! I was checking a Capricorn-Taurus match and the analysis was incredibly insightful and complete, I could even turn it around to get better understanding of his point of view! Thanks so much for a beautifully made (content, design and programming) site. Keep up the good work!

In my Psychological Horoscope Analasis, Liz Green states,
...if you can learn the art of being an ordinary mortal.
My question is, where does one learn the rules of being an ordinary mortal?

Joseph
--- Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 21:26 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Please note that Liz Greene said 'the art'.



Just moments ago I posted a feed back letting you know that your calculation of my moon was different than several other professional readings I have had in the past. (all of which were in agreement) After posting the note I read several similar accounts of variances from other people and your responses to them. I found your responses to be arrogant and condescending. You may possibly have the correct astrological calculations, however, it would be nice if you were to provide an explanation so the readers could understand why your calculations are the correct calculations as opposed to a snide ours is right answer. Thanks

Alois adds: I am afraid we cannot change the facts of nature for you. Please see Homepage -> Swiss Ephemeris -> full documentation for the source of our calculations. We happen to know what we are doing.

We have daily more than 70'000 visitors on the website, and most of them run more than one chart. If our chart does not agree with the expectations of the visitor - for whatever reason - some are quick to assume that Astrodienst computes incorrectly. Of course this is untrue and a rather naïve assumption. Actually, Astrodienst is one of the worldwide authorities in the field of astrological computation.

The documentation of our planetary calculations and the complete source code is available on our website, under Swiss Ephemeris. Anyone with sufficient knowledge of astronomy can study these references, and compare them to other public references for astronomical calculation. Full agreement will be found, within fractions of arc-seconds.

We know that many falsely computed charts circulate in the world, because many astrologers are out there who have made errors. Most errors originate from incorrect data entry / data lookup, and from false timezone information.

While we understand that it is psychologically challenging to accept that a chart one considered correct for many years is suddenly recognized as false, we cannot help with that problem. What we can do is to make sure we apply the highest possible standards to our calculations. We cannot answer for errors made by others.

I do indeed speak from a position of authority, when the subject is astrological computation. If you find that position 'arrogant and condescending', I cannot change that.

I admit to a character fault: I have little patience for those who don't do their homework (e.g. look up a reference book) before they challenge an authority in a dispute about factual information.



I have had my chart done several times and have always had my moon in sagitarius, however your chart says that my moon is in cancer. Thought you should know.

Christy
--- Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 16:56 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Then your chart must have been done VERY wrongly, as there are about two weeks between a date with Moon in Cancer and Moon in Sagittarius.

Most likely you have made a data entry error. Please check the date of birth shown on your chart.



Just one observation: my free horiscope today indicates, among other transits, these two: venus conjunct mars, and mars trine venus. I'm thinking there must be some error here, and wanted to let you know.

Becky
--- Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 15:45 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The error is in your thinking.

A transit is the movement of a 'transiting' planet over a position marked by your 'natal' planet. The first listed is the transiting one, the second is your natal birth chart position. While the (current) Venus is moving over the place of your natal Mars, the (current) Mars is trining the place of your natal Venus.



I was trying to change the location to where my sister lived and found Siciliy not on the location list. I then looked for Italy and it was also not on the list.

Melissa Jenkins
--- Sunday, December 1, 2002 at 14:29 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Our location database is a list of cities and villages. Sicily is the name of an island, and Italy the name of a country. Try the name of the town in Sicily, where your sister is born. Make sure of the proper Italian spelling.



When I choose Singapore from the country list for my personal horoscope, the time zone automatically given is 7h 30min east, Standard Time (+0730 GMT).

However, from my understanding, Singapore's time zone should be +0800 GMT and not +0730 GMT. Can you care to explain why it is set to +0730? Thanks.

I am curious to know why you have placed me as a Capricorn with Scorpio ascending. I have had 2 astrological charts drawn over the years here in NZ and according to them I am an Aquarian with Libra ascending - Personally I feel the Capricorn with Scorpio is not 'me' at all??? Birth date

alois adds: Either you have entered your data differently, or - more likely - your previous charts were wrong. The degree of the zodiac rising on the eastern horizon - the Ascendant - is a fact of nature. It can only be computed correctly or incorrectly, given a date, time and location. Astrodienst does it correctly.
