Alois adds: Look at your chart drawing. The Sun and Moon were in house 7 at your birth, and so they are in your birth chart.

The transiting (moving) Sun is today at 10 degree Aries, which is on the cusp of the 12th house of your birth chart. The transiting Moon will join it there tomorrow.

This is just a fact of nature, not an opinion.



I'm looking at a composite chart midpoint method for me and my parter, I'm a little scared. I know this match sould have never happened, we have been together 9 year this April. He has the big B-DAY 40 this april and born with 4 retrograde plants and I feel big changes about hit home. To look at this chart is to see opposition attract like something out of this world. Well to the point I'm like the catalyst, the reciever, I'm the little x in the center of the chart. I'm new to astrology, but OLD to these enernies and Jupiter has alway been out of reach. This chart is like looking in the mirror and screaming RUNNNNN! Heres the dates 1-4-67,4:56 Htfd,CT. and 4-28-63 1AM. Htfd, CT. both USA. What do you recommend.

Alois adds: Sounds interesting. Somehow I get the impression that your feelings have little to do with the chart you have been looking at, and very much with your nine years experience of this relationship. Please don't blame the chart for your decisions, whatever they are.

By the way, a relationship built on opposites (in synastry or in the composite) is often rather stable and not boring.

Liebes Astro-Team,

ich habe mir zwei Persönlichkeitshoroskope gekauft und anschließend gescant und für meinen Computer eingelesen (macht viel Arbeit mit OCR-engine). Kann man die Horoskope nicht auch als e-mail oder *.doc - file o.ä. bekommen?
Das wäre toll. Ich würde gerne auf den Ausdruck verzichten, den kann ich mir ja dann selbst machen!

Vielen Dank für alles,

ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie genau ALLES in Ihren Horoskopen stimmt!

Ich danke Gott für seinen Plan und euch, dass ihr wichtige Teile davon entschlüsseln könnt!

Licht und Liebe

Schönen Sonntag,
ich bin ein Astro-Amateur, würde aber trotzdem gerne mittels der Astro-Grafiken etwas dazulernen.

Dabei fälllt es mir schwer, z.B. in den Transit- u. Progressionsgrafiken die Aspekte herauszulesen, weil allein die Radix-Aspekte eingezeichnet und unten eingetragen sind.

Wie erkennt ein Profi auf den ersten Blick diese Aspekte? Augenmaß? Winkeln einzeln nachmessen / nachrechnen?

Vielen Dank für einen Tipp und für Ihre maßstabsetzende Site überhaupt

Alois adds: Also, der Profi sieht sich die Zahlen der Planetenpositionen an, die unten auf der Seite aufgelistet sind, und dann 'sieht' er die Aspekte, ohne zu rechnen.

Anderenfalls klickt er oberhalb der Zeichnung auf 'Anzeige der Zusatzblätter' und findet dort ein Aspektarium.

Noch informativer ist Erweiterte Horoskopauswahl -> Gruppe Astrodienst Spezial -> Transitkalender für 3 Jahre. Dort ist der präzise zeitliche Verlauf der Transite zu sehen.



sehr geehrtes astro team!!
ich finde es gut , das sie meine kritik ernst nehmen.Schade finde ich jetzt nur das sie mich wegen meiner kritik gleich angreifen müssen. ( wenn sie gewollt hätten)ich habe mich sehr wohl mit ihren musterhoroskopen beschäftigt, dachte mir das sind auszüge aus Horoskopen. ich möchte auch keineswegs ihre gesamte arbeit in frage stellen, dennoch hätte ich mir von einer profissionellen Astrologin mehr erwartet, da ich selber auch etwas davon verstehe. Vielleicht wünschten sich mehrere kunden die aspekte, um sich weiter damit auseinanderzusetzten, selber etwas nachzulesen. mir ist sehr wohl klar das eine gute hoeroskopdeutung das ganze horoskop miteinbeziehen muß, für mich wäre dennoch wichtig gewesen, auf welche Aspekte verschiedenste formulierungen waren, um es besser wirken zu lassen und um zu merken das das ganze horoskop miteinbezogen ist.
Finden Sie Ihre Berufung und wagen Sie das Abenteuer, Ihre Ziele zu verwirklichen! Die Horoskopdeutung „Beruf und Berufung“ beschreibt Ihre spezifischen Begabungen, Ihre Stärken, aber auch Grenzen. Sie weist zudem auf ein mögliches berufliches Umfeld hin. »»
das konnte ich in ihrer deutung für mich leider nicht finden. ich habe mich sorfältig damit auseinandergesetzt auch wenn sie jetzt vielleicht astropsychologisch denken könnten ,sie will das nur nicht hören....
sie müßen damit leben, das es unzufriedene kunden gibt ich muß damt leben, das ich nicht das bekommen habe, was ich mir vorgestellt habe,
trotzdem bleibe ich weiter an meinen themen..

Liebes Astro team!!
Seit einiger zeit bin ich fleißiger besucher iher homepage. Ich interessiere mich sehr für astrologie und habe mir auch schon viel wissen darüber angeeignet. mir gefällt ihre seite sehr gut und ich fand es vertrauenswürdig. ich wollte mehr und bestellte von ihnen ein horoskop beruf und berufung um € 40.
Das war für mich die größte enttäuschung seit ich mich mit astrologie beschäftige. erstens das Ausmaß ca 10 seiten, davon 5 mit allgemeinen floskeln. in der ganzen deutung kommt kein aspekt vor, ich hätte schon gern gewußt, welche konstellationen welche aussage haben. Dann sind die texte so formuliert, daß ich nicht wirklich einen konsens darin finde. ich hätte genausogut mir meine verschiedensten aspekte aus einen buch herausholen können.für mich eine riesen enttäuschung , ich habe mir von ihnen viel mehr erwartet, so wie ihre hompepage aufgebaut ist. man merkt bei dieser deutung, das sie von computern gemacht wird, und nicht wirklich von menschen , aber das genau finde ich bei horoskopdeutung so wichtig, denn genau auf die kombinmationsgabe, das einfühlungsvermögen, das wissen der einzelnen aspekte uvm kommt es an und das kann ja nun wirklich nicht auch das beste computerprogramm nicht.
ich empfehle ihre homepage vielen meiner freundinnen vor einer empfehlung einer deutung werde ich mich aber zurückhalten.

Alois adds: Liebe Frau Flür, es ist schade, dass Sie von unserem Horoskop enttäuscht sind. Dass man es nie allen Menschen recht machen kann, ist eine Binsenweisheit, und dass Ihre Reaktion die grosse Ausnahme ist, die die Regel bestätigt, ebenso. Damit müssen wir leben, seit und so lange wir Dienstleistungen für individuelle Menschen erbringen.

Sachlich gibt es einige Punkte anzumerken bzw richtigzustellen:

Das an Sie gelieferte Exemplar 'Beruf und Berufung' umfasst 22 Seiten - exakt wie das online verfügbare Musterhoroskop. Wenn man Titelblatt, Inhaltsübersicht und Datenseite abzieht, verbleiben 19 eng bedruckte Seiten. Die letzte davon ist nur noch zu einem Drittel gefüllt, da der Text dort endet.

Die kursiv gedruckten Texte sind zwar in allen Horoskopen gleich, aber keineswegs allgemeine Floskeln, sondern eine Einführung sowei wichtige Erklärungen zu den einzelnen Kapiteln. Sie sind unverzichtbar für das Verständnis des Horoskops. Sie machen zusammen etwa 5 der 19 Textseiten aus.

Natürlich ist eine persönliche Horoskopdeutung nicht an der Länge, sondern am Inhalt zu bewerten. Aber wenn Sie schon die Länge kritisieren, doch bitte korrekte Angaben.

Inhaltlich ist es so, dass die Horoskopanalysen von Liz Greene eben keine aneinandergereihten Deutungen von 'Aspekten' oder anderen Einzelfaktoren im Horoskop sind. Die Analyse beruht auf einer Gesamtschau des Horoskops, gerade so, wie im allgemeinen Computer NICHT vorgehen, sondern wie gute menschliche Astrologen ein Horoskop deuten. Es gibt keinen astrologischen Jargon wie 'der Mars belästigt Ihre Venus', sondern wirkliche Aussagen über Ihre Persönlichkeit. Es ist eben gerade nicht wahr, dass Sie diese Texte aus einem Buch herausholen hätten können. Weder gibt es dieses Buch, noch hätten Sie gewusst, welche Teile für Ihr persönliches Horoskop, aus der Gesamtperspektive heraus analysiert, die wirklich wichtigen sind.

Ihr Horoskop darf ich leider aus Gründen des Datenschutzes hier nicht veröffentlichen. Auf unserer Website sind aber seit jeher vollständige Exemplare sämtlicher Horoskoparten als Muster verfügbar, siehe Rubrik Beispielhoroskope bzw. den Link, der von der Beschreibungsseite Astroshop - Beruf und Berufung zu 'Lesen Sie ein Musterhoroskop' führt.

Auf der Bestell-Eingabeseite ist das Horoskop so beschrieben:

Beruf und Berufung, von Liz Greene
Beruf und Berufung, von Liz Greene
Die Berufung, in der eigentlichen Bedeutung des Wortes, beschreibt einen inneren Weg, der in der Seele seinen Ursprung hat. Nur wer diesem Ruf folgt, wird sich mit einem tieferen Sinn verb unden fühlen. Ohne Bezug auf die Begabungen des Einzelnen mag eine Arbeitssituation zwar den Lebensunterhalt sichern, bringt aber einen trostlosen Alltag mit sich.
Die Horoskopanalyse "Beruf und Berufung" beschreibt die Qualitäten, die jemand aufgrund seines Temperaments im Beruf ausdrücken will, sie macht auf spezifische Begabungen aufmerksam und weist auf persönliche Grenzen und Ängste hin. Sie zeigt auf, wie sich der Einzelne in einer Arbeitssituation emotional einbringen möchte. Im Horoskop können wir unsere Beziehung zum Thema "Erfolg" erkennen, unsere Befürchtungen und Wünsche dazu. Dieses Horoskop gibt Hinweise, wie wir unserem Innersten durch den Beruf Ausdruck verleihen können.
Mehr Informationen

Wenn Sie gewollt hätten, so hätten Sie sich bestens darüber informieren können, welche Art Horoskop wir liefern. Es ist unsinnig, einen Sportwagen zu bestellen, und sich dann über die fehlenden Rücksitze und hinteren Türen zu beschweren.

Man kann unsere Horoskope vor dem Kauf bestens begutachten - wir haben nichts zu verbergen. Der Shop ist so übersichtlich aufgebaut, dass die Musterhoroskope gerade auch im Shop-Bereich sehr leicht zu finden sind.

Wir sind stolz auf unsere Arbeit, und die grosse Mehrzahl der Kundinnen und Kunden ist damit sehr zufrieden. Dass Sie, Frau Flür, unsere Arbeit nicht schätzen können, ist bedauerlich. Vielleicht lesen Sie in den nächsten paar Wochen Ihre Horoskop nochmals sorgfältig, und falls Sie zu einem anderen Urteil kommen sollten, wäre es natürlich toll, hier davon zu hören. Falls Sie nach wiederholtem Lesen zu keinem anderen Urteil kommen, senden Sie es bitte zurück (ohne eine Kopie zu behalten), mit einer Notiz, die auf diesen Feedbackeintrag verweist, und wir werden Ihnen den Kaufpreis von EUR 46.95 vergüten, sofern Sie die Rechnung überhaupt schon bezahlt haben.

Zum weiteren Verständnis für die Methodik, die wir bei unseren Computerhoroskop anwenden, möchste ich Sie noch auf den Artikel Computerastrologie und künstliche Intelligenz verweisen.

Ich finde die Seite eigentlich sehr toll. Ich lese mein Tageshoroskop auch sehr gerne, da es(wenn positiv) mir zu einer guten Laune verhilft. Nur leider muss ich sagen, dass nicht vieles auch zutrifft. Kann sein, dass ich mich da nicht so gut auskenne, aber vielleicht ist es auch nur so, dass eben nur ein kleiner Teil davon stimmt.

Aber trotzdem werde ich die Gratishoroskope weiter nutzen.

Weiterhin viel Erfolg!

Hallo,
was spricht dagegen, Kinder in die Online-Transitdeutungen mit einzubeziehen? Es kann für Eltern mindestens so bedeutsam sein wie für diese als Erwachsene selbst.

Danke, tschüss

Alois adds: Es spricht nichts grundsätzlich dagegen. Aber die Deutungstexte, über die wir für Transitdeutungen verfügen, sind für die Lebenswirklichkeit von Erwachsenen geschrieben, nicht für die Lebenswirklichkeit von Kindern.

Wir können nur Deutungen einsetzen, über die wir verfügen.

A great site. Thanking you Moanajo.

I find this a very interesting web site and the horroscopes extremely accurate. I have paid for the trial extended forecast to look at what my horroscope said for a certain day last year upon which I had a very bad experience. It doesn't seem to say very much. Could anyone advise please.

I have been wondering if the place where you live (which might be quite different from where you were born)have any influence in the horoscope? I, e.g. have been working all over the globe and wonder whether this has any influence on the predicaments given!? Have noticed that current reference place being used is birth place!

this is for EDNA BRISSO : dear edna, I saw your message on the site. If you send me your exact hour and place of birth, I will find the reason. It takes more of your Lillith then of your moon to tell why you can't easily say no. I'm not aware from your message how far you are on your astrology, so I take the liberty to ask you to let me rise yor birth chart myself. If you know sharply your hour of birth, look for your own Lillith and tell me it's position in your house and sign. It will not be complete, but enough for a short answer. Lillith's aspects with your planets and the cusps of your 5th, 7th and 11th houses, as the one with your ascendent are also important for an interpretation. Would you mind if I answer you back in French? my compliments, simona

the next message is for Jennei : I saw your message on astro.com

I give you the name a very good book that I use for the aspects even now, many many years after being an astrological beginner.

THE ASTROLOGER'S HANDBOOK, by Frances SAKOIAN and Louis S. ACKER

at Harper Row, Publishers, Inc., 10 East 53rd Street, New York, NY 10022

Alois adds: You find the book at amazon.com for $11.20

I hope I gave you the good name and authors, 'cause I have the photocopy. The name is written by the hand of the one that made the copy for me.

Anyway, the finger of God or the Yod of Venus is an astrological figure made by 3 planets on the circle of the chart two form a sextile and the third is in inconjuction with both ( aspect of 150° +/- 2°). This third planet is called the finger, the focal planet. It shows the individual what energy should be regenerated, because the figure of Yod means generally that a regeneration in the emotional and mental field is needed. The sign where this 3rd planet is placed shows, by it's major characteristics, which path should be taken (ex: Pisces = emotions, Gemini = intelectual and verbal expresion, Virgo = discipline hygene of life, but, of course, this interpretation must be made in the chart's whole context, otherwise it is too simple and incomplete). The focal planet is a very sensitive planet, because the inconjunctions create a subtile tention the may bring from time to time real psychological crises. The figure is called the finger of God or of destiny because it forces the individual to accomplish a real mission during his life, meaning that even he or she will be the only actor and subject of the mission, this one shall be so strongly needed and such a call in it's direction shall be felt by the individual, that going for it will be felt as a mission. The focal planet is a point of transformation. The individual experiments during his life moments of crisis, when complete changings of direction are demanded. The need to act shall be felt by the focal planet (eg: moon = the feminine part of your personality, mercury = by the intelectual part of your personnality, uranus = you will take it as a sudden envy to try what has never been tryed before, inovating ways). The Yod is stronger if the focal planet is Uranus, Neptune or Pluto. Every change induced by the Yod will bring the individual closer to his/her real center of poise. The point opposite on the chart to the focal planet (it may be a real planet or the cusp of a house) reveals the sector where the new energy shall be concentrated.

Medium Coeli as you call it so nicely is Midheaven, the highest point on the sky arround the Earth on your moment of birth and taking your place of birth as a mark. It is the cusp of the10th house, the one that speaks about your carrer and social outcoming. Its place in a sign gives a certain colour according to that sign to its meaning and shows what kind of professional life becomes you more ( you may already know it or not yet if you haven't yet meet the profession if this second situation is true, the moment coming you will know it.)

Moon's Node North (NN) and South (NS) are (shortly speaking) the indicators of what you have been(the NS) and what you should become (the NN) without you being forced to follow this in any way. It's not an option either. The more you drag on, the clearer the transforming in the way mentiond by the NN and the NS shall be felt. It is a very clear (books give precise interperetations of NN and NS in each sign and house) message about what you must do to reach your personal balance. But following this way its a question of personal effort. The NN the NS are part of the signals astrology brings us, together with Kiron, Lillith and some others about how our free will should be used for our own evolution.

Please confirm that you got this message. One of the reasons for which I didn't write more was that I wasn't sure you'll get it. The other one is my English, I tend to use French words. Best regards, Simona

I find your site incredibly useful and exciting. It's so great because I can't afford the software from overseas, so as a serious student of astrology this is just what I need! The astroclick portraits are particularly good. But I have a question: when generating charts, what does one do to find out whether a planet is retrograde? There doesn't seem to be any indication of this, and I know for a fact I have Saturn retrograde, yet it is not distinguished from the other planets. Please help!

Thank you!

Alois adds: In the chart drawings (of most, but not all styles) retrograde planets have a small 'r' besides them, and also in the position table besides the chart.

In the short reports, the data page at the end of the report also indicates the motion of the planets.



Dear Astrodienst Readers
Just recently I was asked to interpret the transits for a chart for someone that at first glance seamed like the next few years would be quite hard. The only way I could put a positive spin on this persons transits was to say that that some people choose a life with an easy stroll up a small hill and some people choose Mt. Everest!. a steep learning curve but the view from the top of a mountain is to some people worth the climb. By the time the said transits are over one's perspective will be greatly enhanced, if the transits in question are integrated. Integration and self exploration are the name of the game in astrology, as far as I can see. Thanks for a great site, the best on the net. I recommend it to all my friends and use it almost daily.

Thank You

David
Seattle, USA --- Tuesday, March 25, 2003 at 04:05 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: This is an ugly war and a depressing matter. Any possible analysis will make a lot of people angry, in the current state of heated emotions. I can understand that Liz Greene has so far not felt inclined to discuss this war in writing. Such an article would be aburden to write, and no fun at all. Without reliable birth data of S.H. is's also hard to predict his fate.

I think you need to tolerate that our authors pick their themes at their own discretion.

A good starting point are the books listed in in our literature list. Several of the titles deal with the Moon's nodes.



Wonderful site. Would appreciate your opinion on the relevance of Chiron within charts. Seems to be much talk of the myth, but not how it corresponds, or even if it does to astrological interpretation. I've been trying to ascertain the effects of my Chiron placement, but cannot find any direct link with anything particular. Born: 28 June 1961, Geelong, Australia at 15:30p.m. local time. Many thanks

Natalie
--- Monday, March 24, 2003 at 02:36 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Personally, I think that Chiron should remain within the ranks of asteroids, i.e. be considered only for special studies, not in a basic chart reading. But many astrologers, who have adopted Chiron into a place of high importance, will not agree with my position, Liz Greene included. You have to make up your own mind about it.

For in-depth information on Chiron, I recommend Melanie Reinhart's book listed in our literature list



Alois,
An acquaintance, currently studying astrology, recently told me of a 3 year period of personal difficulty/struggle which happens to everyone at some point in their life - and that this 3 year period is determined by planet placements etc.
I have been learning more about astrology, but I have heard nothing of this. Have you?
Please let me know. If there is such a period - would you be able to tell me when I could anticipate mine - or if it has passed?
Thanks for this great site.

hallo,
ich habe soeben eine unstimmigkeit in einem tageshoroskop entdeckt:
der Transit: Sonne konj. Mars am 17.3-18.3.03 kann nicht stimmen, da die Sonne in diesem geburtshoroskop in fische steht (17.3.49, zürich,ch))und sich der Mars momentan in steinbock befindet. hmmm, bin ich nun falsch oder hat ihr programm eine fehlerhafte meldung geliefert? herzliche grüsse gabrielle

Alois adds: Bei Transiten ist die Reihenfolge immer so: (laufende) Sonne Konj, (Radix)-Mars. Der Mars der betreffenden Person steht auf 26 Grad Fische, und die Sonne lief Anfang vergangener Woche über diesen Punkt.

Wenn Sie auf den Info-Button rechts unterhalb des gelben Titels im Tageshoroskop klicken, und dort auf den Link 'was sind Transite', so erscheint eine Erklärung.



Guten Tag,
was ist der Grund dafür, dass in der Transithoroskop-Grafik die Radix-Transite eingezeichnet und unten vermerkt sind, nicht aber die Transitaspekte in Bezug auf das Radixhoroskop?

Und eine andere Frage: Ist geplant, die Tageshoroskopdeutungen so umzugestalten wie es bei den interaktiven Horoskopen schon gemacht wurde? (Nicht wegen der Bedienerfreundlichkeit, sondern wegen des Umfangs der Deutungen.) - Wenn nicht, ist mir der Grund klar (ich lese öfter hier) ich wollte es nur wissen.

Herzlichen Dank und freundliche Grüße

Bonjour,

Quel fantastique et riche site! Merci!
Quelle est votre opinion sur les Encadrements Planétaires? Ils ne sont pas considérés apparemment dans vos horoscopes. Quand on regarde la combinaison des planètes entre elles, d'où démarre t-on? De l'Ascendant? Du début du zodiaque?

Merci pour votre réponse.

Alois adds: I am afraid I am not familiar with the concept of 'Encadrements', which was developed by Alexandre VOLGUINE.

Maybe the essay Les encadrements planetaires is helpful. It also has a book list at the bottom.



The public date of first moment of spring differs from that in the ephemeris? please explain....
Also, explain the direct and retrograde configuratio
of the true nodes of the moon.

Alois adds: I am not aware that we published a 'first moment of spring' anywhere.

But you find it in the daily horoscope, listed as "Sun enters Aries" and expressed in the timezone of your chosen place of reference. In Universal time, that was 00:59 am this morning.

For information on the calculation of lunar nodes, please see the Swiss Ephemeris General Documentation, section 2.2.2.

Anyone want to venture a guess as to what this war will lead us to, and how long it might take, what the stars say about America's actions for the year 2003.

As an American and an activist, we are under seige, our news coverage is censored, we're are being surveyed by the police, and Ashcroft is destroying all our civil rights, one by one, quite fast. Most of us progressive feel so helpless and all the protesting and work we do seems to fall on very deaf ears.

Signed,

Thank you for this excellent site. I have a concern about the security of the data I put on my base. I use a public library computer and often find I do not have to log in to your site because my personal file opens as soon as the free report bar is clicked on. I use the library guest pass system which requires no identification to be presented for computer usage, so I wonder how I am recognised by your site? There are times when your site does require my email password, but not always.

I sent an email and did not get any response.
In Astro Travel, how can there be in the same area very positive comments and then totally opposite , negating the other planet. How is one suposed to know if that place is negative or not?

Can't you imagine that different things can happemn at the same place: you can fall in love in the same city, where you are on another day hit by a car.

If you expect simple answers, you might have to try something other than astrology, at least something other that astrology at www.astro.com.



I find it hard to believe that there is NOTHING good in my forcast for the next 6 months! Thanks for the negative outlook. With that type of information, I might as well slit my wrists now.

Alois adds: I have had a look at your 'short report forecast'. It contains readings of these transits:

Uranus square Saturn * Saturn square Moon * Saturn square Mars * Jupiter trine Mercury * Saturn square Pluto * Saturn opposition Sun * Jupiter trine Jupiter

There is a considerable number of Saturn squares and oppositions involved. These are challenging issues.

But please be aware: Each difficulty has more than one side, and there is always a positive, strengthening element in it.

The text does describe that carefully. Please take the time to read it completely, instead of turning away at the first notice of a problem.



I'm looking at the horoscope of George W. Bush with war against Iraq likely in a few hours time. What concerns me is the most appropriate application of the Northern Node.
Mean, which I have used for thirty years, places the Node at 19 36' Gemini. The True places it at 20 35' Gemini.
Two very different Sabian Symbols.
With the Mean there is a same degree conjunction with Uranus, this conjunction opposed in the same degree by Pluto.
With the True there is neither the same degree conjunction with Uranus within the same Sabian Symbol nor opposition to this conjunction.
More crucially, Pluto, with the mean, has been in opposition to the Node since January 22 - use the True Pluto has not yet been in the same degree opposition to George W. Bush's Northern Node, and will not be in that until December 18.
Raphael's continue to use the Mean.
Does the reality at the UN since January 22 describe Pluto in the same degree opposition to George W. Bush's Uranus and Mean Northern Node conjunction, all within the same Sabian Symbols, the war within hours, or is it going to be better described in December?
Events central to this question are those of March 10, March 11, the Sun at the midpoints.

Alois adds: The technique is the invention of the authors mentioned at this page. I am not aware that anything has been publised in English, or by other authors, on the subject of Persona Charts. You can become famous by studying Persona Charts on your own, and writing the first English language book about them.

Probably you should as a first step learn German and read the book by Orban and Zinnel. Their contact address can be found at this page (in German). Possibly, if they get a lot of mail in regard to Persona Charts, they will think about a translation of their book.



This is a wonderful site!! I love all aspects the site provides to the public.

I had just a question, out of curiosity, would any of the astrologers have an idea of how the planets are affecting the events of the impending war with Iraq and the United States and the other participating nations? Or is there a particular site where we could find this information?

Das Jahreshoroskop von Liz Greene berücksichtigt sowohl die Transite wie die Sekundärprogressionen eines Jahres (bzw eines anderen Zeitraums von 12 Monaten). Das ist die einzige Deutung mit Progressionen, die wir derzeit anbieten.

Zur Erklärung der Progressionen ist die derzeit verfügbare deutschsprachige Literatur leider etwas mager. Suchen Sie mal bei amazon.de.

My daily horoscopes from astrodienst have changed this year (2003) and are not as true and comprehensive as last year. In 2002, everything was exactly what happened in my day. What has changed? I find 2003 horoscopes not as useful to me. The short versions are just not the same.

Liebe, liebe Liz Green,
Vielen Dank für Ihre wertvolle Lebensarbeit! Habe sehr viel daraus gelernt, was auf diese Webseite täglich beim Stöbern (ich seit ca.2001)aufzufinden ist. Seit Tagen geht es mir aber das Link mit den Partnervergleichen (nur Angabe von Sternzeichen) ab. Ist es für immer verschwunden? Es war wirklich so toll! Es ist nur so: Horoskope mit ganz genauen Daten würde ich immer bestellen. Habe ich schon vor Jahren getan.
Für ungenaue Horoskope, Partnervergleiche nur für kurze Bekanntschaften würde ich nie soviel investieren. Aber für allgemeine Information war das schon klasse. Sehr schade wäre es, es entgültig aus dem Programm zu nehmen. Ich würde mich freuen eine Antwort auf meine mailadresse zu bekommen. Herzlichen Dank. Liebe Grüsse Priepie

Dear Astrodienst,

I find your website to be the most comprehensive astrology-related site on the Net, and I consult it very often, esp. one of its unique features, AstroClickTravel. My question: do the information given for places on the map change according to planetary transits? I clicked Rome, Italy in February 2001 and then again in March 2003 and the report is slightly different - there is a Moon/Mars aspect, but Sun/Moon's Node influence is not shown anymore. Also, Seattle report was more detailed back then, displaying more aspects such as Moon trine/sextile MC (existing within a 17 km range). I stated identical birth data on both occasions, the only difference is that the computer I used in 2001 had better technical performance. Why are the reports not identical, and which one is more accurate? I don't know whether you've already answered this sort of questions. This is the only inconsistency I encountered in an Astrodienst service. Otherwise, it's a first class site.

Thank you in advance!

This is for the girl who wanted to know about the finger of God aspect.
Hi Jennie,
This is the physcial shape of the apect as I know it.
It involves a sextile and an opposition. The sextile
(2 planets 60 degree's apart) and then the midpoint of
the two planets (for example: venus in Scorpio * 14
degrees mars in carpricorn * 12 degrees) the
midpoint of these two planets would be Sagittarius *
13 degrees. To make the finger of God there would have
to be a planet * 13 degrees in Gemini.(Opposing the
mid point of the two planets in sextile.) It is much
easier to explain if I could draw it for you but I'm
not that talented on computers.

As to what exactly the aspect finger of God means, I'm
a little less sure. I believe it is also called a Yod.
My friend and I call it the fickle finger of fate
award.(Are you old enough to remember Laugh-in?)
I hope this helps you at least know if you have one in
your chart

For the person who wants to know about a Pisces partner just get a chart done from Astrodienst of just enter the pisces' partner's date and you will get a report on that Pisces about his character, his love preferences, etc. it all there free. However if you want a more sophisticated chart you have to pay. There's a limit to freebies as I think Astrodienst gives away enough and I am so grateful, especially those beautiful coloured charts that we can print and analyze. Be grateful and abundance will follow.

I was wondering if anyone had a birthdate for Elizabeth Smart. This would be an interesting chart to do. Im sure Horoscope Magazine will have something on it at a later date but I would like to do her chart now. I really hope they leave the poor girl alone. Even the father became an overnight star. Ms. Hearst on Larry King could not stress enough not to over publicize this but good old 'insentive' Larry kept at it. Ms. Hearst is a Pisces and suffered and is still suffering from her experience. I being a Pisces can relate to that. There are some things that are better left alone. It is not the public's business if they had sex and all the gory details of her absence. It's bad enough that Ricci was locked up in jail for a crime he did not do and died there of aneurism(??) probably because of such intense probing and accusations from the police. Ricci was broke and they just shoved him in jail where he was left to die. I would also like to know Ricci's birthday if anyone has it. Wow - what America does not keep at. Is this Gemini rising - anything to relate the news?

A few people were asking about learning more about astrology. There is a horoscope magazine that comes out every month and it lists the various areas where there is an astrological group it also lists verious information about planets, transits, all kinds of good information and it costs only 1.92 (US) per issue. I don't know if we're allowed to give a phone number but it is 1-800-888-6901. It's a very good magazine to arouse interest in astrology and they even review various books that have been written about astrology. It gives forecasts and it explains at times, the forces that shape our lives. I thinks it's great. In the April issue they showed how to figure out an electional chart and the things to look for, in short, it has all kinds of good things.

Hi Liz Greene,
Just finished reading your 'Pisces Partner' profile. And wanted to say that its so amazingly true. Thank you.
I am just trying to get over a long relationship with a piscean and am trying to make sense of why things went the way they did.
The harder i try to hold, the more it slips out of my fingers. And you lose him once and its for good. in the end, neither can you have him nor can you give him up.
but i am that wee bit closer to the world, people, dreams and beautiful smiles and soft eyes, and a lot more...
this is going to be the hardest challenge yet for me, to move on.

Daytona Beach, FLA, USA --- Tuesday, March 11, 2003 at 22:10 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The color coding depends a bit on chart style, but the general rule is red = difficult aspects (opposition, square) and blue = soft aspects (trine, sextile, semisextile). Green is 'neutral'. Conjunctions are also marked in red, even when they are not necessarily difficult.



Dear Alois,

I was wondering if you could possibly help me narrow down the correct coordinates for a particular location, which is not presently in the atlas. The location is Kokanee Lake, a small lake in the Kokanee Glacier Park in southeast British Columbia, Canada. It's where Michel Trudeau, son of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, died in an avalanche a few years ago. I can't locate the exact latitude and longitude, despite poring through atlases and the internet. The closest I've been able to come is the town of Slocan, which is a bit west of the lake. The lake is also north of the city of Nelson, and southwest of Kaslo. Could you get closer to the exact coordinates, or do you think those of Slocan are close enough? Thanks, Pam

Pamela Young [ 2pyoung.xyz*xyz.rogers.com --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Guelph, Canada --- Tuesday, March 11, 2003 at 20:36 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Precision of location is only relevant if you have precise time as well. If the time has an uncertainty of +- 1 minute, the location can have +- 10 miles. It is pointless to ask for precise location, if you have no precise time for a birth or event.

And even then - if the way you read a chart does not require precision by degree and minute of ascendant and house cusps, it is again pointless to ask for high precision in the underlying data.

With a ruler and a pocket calculator, it should be easy to extract coordinates from any map, as long as you know the coordinates of some cities shown on the map. It is simple elementary school math, even without a coordinate grid on the map. Draw your own, given the known locations of cities.

Once you have coordinates, let me know and I will add 'Trudeau Avalanche Location' to the atlas.



This is one of my favorite websites. Having the ability to see a personal daily horoscope is great. I've noticed lately, though, that most of the aspects lists are just Moon aspects. Is that because of the planetary positions lately or is the daily horoscope narrowing down to primarily the Moon?

DKB
Amsterdam, Holland --- Tuesday, March 11, 2003 at 17:27 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: In the average, there is about one planetary aspect per calendar day, the rest are Moon aspects. That is a fact of nature, not a choice made by us.

We have 12 natal chart factors (10 planets, Asc and MC). Each has 8 aspect points (conj, opp, 2 x square, 2 x trine, 2 x sextile). That makes 96 aspect points in the circle. The Sun, Mercury and Venus move by approx. 360 degrees per year (a bit more due to retrograde slings of Mercury and Venus), Mars moves by 180 degrees per year. That gives about 350 transit events per year by these 4 planets over the 96 natal aspect points, or approx. one event per day. The slower planets cover together only about 90 degrees of the zodiac per year, i.e. make only 25 aspects in the average. They do not add much to the statistics - even when their transits are the really important ones.

The Moon goes over all 96 aspect points in 27 days, i.e. it makes about 4 transits per day.



Jennifer,

the finger of god is the YOD-figure. It has consists of three planets with the angles 150-150-60 degrees. Karen Hamaker has written a book about this figure.

Hi!
I need some help, I'm trying to calculate the astrological ephemeris but I cant find some algorithm to do it. I found too many info about planets and orbits in astronomical pages but there is nothing about astrology almost anywhere. With all that I managed to calculate the black moon ephemeris with a 10 line of code ... example:
J = Int(365.255 * (y - (m 3))) + Int(30.2001 * (m + 1 + 12 * (m 3))) + d - Int(y / 100) + Int(y / 400) + 1720996.5
If y / 100 = Int(y / 100) And y / 400 Int(y / 400) And m 3 Then
J = J + 1
...
Where can I find something like this but to calculate the astrological ephemeris for the rest of the planets without needing to use the swiss.dll?
Hope you can help me.
Thank you!

Alois adds: All kinds of chart drawings and calculations, no readings. We read only the charts of people, not of event dates.

Our authors understand a lot about the human psyche and about 'how people function', but not about the background and context of your particular event dates.

An event chart is much more limited in its scope than the birthchart of a hman being. While a birth chart can be read be an astrologer who understands humans, an event chart can only be interpreted in a meaningful way if the astrologer knows a lot about the context of the event.

Hi Alois, I don't know if you're the right person to ask, but I can't find the answer anywhere else. In hororary astrology everything which is in the same degree as the true node tend to influence one's fate (I don't know how to call it). Is that also true for the birthhoroscope? And what does it mean to have the ascendant and the true node in the same degree? I have read a lot of books, but I really can not find the connection between the ascendant and the true node. Every information is welcome, so if you have an answer or you know where to find the answer, I would be very happy. And please do not say try Google, because I have already done that.
Thanks, Roos

I’m a dabbler in astrology. I love astrology and I’m sure as the year’s pass I will become more knowledgeable but at this juncture (a little astrology humor), I am but a dabbler.
I was wondering if possibly you could explain to me a few things. Such as:
What is a finger of god? And do I have that in my chart, I did a little looking myself and it appears as though I have one. How does this affect me? If you could look I’d be much obliged.

Birth date: January 23, 1981.
Place: Cambridge, OH (US)
long: 81w35
lat: 40n02
local time: 21:00 or 9:00pm

Also what is the effect of the Medium Coeli, Imum Colei, Moon’s Node and Chiron??

And their affect on me?

I have not really found much in-depth information on these four. When people include these on their sites they seem to only brush the very surface, so I don’t understand them very well.

Alois adds: The 'finger of god' is some kind of aspect figure used in the US, I don't know which one.

I think you expect too much from the web. To study an established field of knowledge like astrology, you should
- join a local astrology school or study group
- find a quality bookshop and/or library in your area and READ.

Asking for explanations on websites will not work as a surrogate for serious studies, using the existing vast body of astrological literature.



I love your site so much that I feel I have to write to you and let you know about it. You helped me but the fellow who referred to those people as vampires really hit the spot. I had a chart done and really enjoyed it. It seems that people only want to know only the good stuff. I have Sun conj. Saturn so discipline and the truth do not phase me. My advice would be before youo start criticising - get your chart done - find out if you have an aptitude for Astrology and start reading, studying, forming astro group, anything. You'll find it's worth many bottles of pills and visits to the psychiatrist. We learn more from astrology than from anything else about life. Is it any wonder that kings, many of the presidents of the USA were avid students of astro.
So get off your ass,and the computer and start studying or order a chart. You'll be surprised how great a chart is informative. A french saying says: Connais-toi toi-meme. Know yourself first. Thanks again to all of you at Astrodienst.

Hallo Alois,
frage an Dich:
Wie sieht es aus wenn bei zwei Personen im Solarhoroskop eine neue Partnerschaft steht. Bei der ersten noch in diesem Soloarhoroskop und bei der anderen Person erst im nägsten Solarhoroskop.
Aber das Solarhoroskop überschneidet sich mit der anderen Person:
Wie würden Sie dieses deuten?

Alois adds: Auf unserer Website hat Ihnen niemand gesagt, dass in einem Solarhoroskop Ereignisse stehen, und wir deuten auch keine Solarhoroskope. Wenn Ihnen das sonst jemand gesagt hat, so fragen Sie doch bitte dort nach.

Fatalistische und deterministische Horoskopdeutungen sind schon aus psychohygienischen Gründen abzulehnen.



Dear Alois I realise you are a very deep person with a brilliantly deep web site but have you buried the minor aspects (quintiles septiles noviles etc) the jewels and tools of an evolving consciousness or are you not interested in depth psychology?. You generously give so much freebies on your site I feel cheeky to ask for more but it would be very useful to have the aspects on the extended chart selection. p.s. My husband and I have both had a horoscope done by Liz Greene in the past she is excellent but am now interested in bringing the blueprint into reality.

Linda
London, England --- Friday, March 7, 2003 at 15:10 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I find that chart images which include too many aspect lines are visually confusing. Quintiles are included in many of our chart styles. For other minor aspect families like septiles, noviles, deciles, reptiles, imbeciles and futiles, I recommend using harmonic charts. These are available in extended cart selection.

Please be aware that the charting techniques available on our free website were never designed to fulfill the special technical needs of experts. I recommend you purchase a quality astrology software package like Kepler or Solar Fire for your special needs.

Often, I am quite happy if someone answers a question which has been placed in this guestbook, or adds to an answer we had given.

Only when people start to 'chat' to each other via this guestbook, I stop it if the volume gets too high. Also when I get the impression that men try to use our guestbook to 'chat up' women.



TO THE WEB MASTER:
You guys have a great site but it is hard to navigate your site.I keep finding new things every day just wish I did not have to keep finding them through a search engine.
Any way people keep asking for celebirty's birthday so I figured I would post what I found on your site that I pulled from a serch engine.

- Camilla Parker Bowles (July 17, 1947 7:00 am London) F
PS:
I want to point out that people are often asking for information that you already have on your web site and
I really really wish that one day you make it easier to navigate.

Alois adds: I happen to like websites which are 'deep', i.e. where one can go on endlessly to discover new things. A lot of what you find at Astrodienst reflects my personal style and my personal preferences, I am afraid.

As our site contains thousands of pages, besides all the dynamical content which is individually generated anyway, it will never be possible to 'navigate easily'.

The most popular features on our website are the free horoscopes - more than 90 percent of our site accesses belong to these. The free personalized horoscopes are designed to be EASY to navigate, and they are.

The other areas of our website are more like a treasure chest, where you can find discoveries if you take the time to look around.

At some point in the future we will add a search engine on-site. For the moment, please use Google. If you add to your google searches the term:
site:www.astro.com
then Google will only show hits for pages from our website. Because Google has our website very well indexed, this serves a s a good search feature! On long pages, like the guestbook archive, you will still need the help of your browser's 'find in page' feature to locate a particular keyword.

Example: you want to find where Bill Gates is mentioned on our site. use google to enter:
bill gates site:www.astro.com

At this moment, Google shows 163 hits for that search. Because our site is currently in six languages, many of the hits will not be of interest to you, of course.



Please anyone: Where can i learn interpretations on intercepted houses??!!! Cannot find much anywhere. Why is this info left out of textbooks? Someone please help by posting answer.

I really need your help. I have a serious problem finding out if my moon sign is void of course and the way I don't get answers seems to play into this very question?

CT, USA --- Wednesday, March 5, 2003 at 17:22 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I am not sure that one really needs to know that. But this is a possible way to find out:

- find your birth time in UT (universal time) in 24-hour style notation. It is listed near the top in our chart drawings. Depending on timezone, the date may be different from your normal birthdate by one day.

- go to this page and find your birth year in the table. Click on the letter 'A' besides the year number, NOT on the year number.

- An Acrobat PDF document will open which contains a list of all mundane planetary aspects in the course of that year. Also the sign entries of all planets including the Moon are liste, all dates and times in Universal Time.

- find the sign change of the Moon after your birthdate/time. This is the end of the void of course period closest to your birth.

- now find the entry closest to your birthtime (in UT) in that list. If between this entry and the next Moon sign change there is another Moon aspect listed, (consider only major aspects conjunct, opposition, trine, square, sextile, disregard semisextile, semisquare etc): then your birth is NOT in the void of course period.

- if there is NO major Moon aspect listed between your birthtime and the next sign change, then your birth is in a void of course period.

Example: A's birthdate is 7 March 1950, 08:15 UT. The next lunar sign change is at 14:56 on the same day. There is a Moon trine Mercury listed at 14:02, between A's birth and the sign change. This means that A is NOT born in a VOC period.

About 10% of the population are born in VOC period. I do not think that it does them any harm.



Dear Alois,
Thanks for your answer. You are absolutely right, but I still don't know where is the astrologer who can give my one simple answer: What it means transit uranus and mars in conjuction with my Vertex (sorry it's Vertex not Chiron) in VI hous of Pices in trine with transit Saturn and transit Sun in conjuction with my natal Venus in X hous in Cancer. That aspect will be 23.06.2003. and I would like something about that. Who knows the answer? I will be werry greatfull if somebody help me. Sorry about my english.. I don't speak so well that language... I hope that you understand my words. Simply, I just try to find somebody who can tell me something about that and that is all. So, what is your sugestion?

Hallo everybody...
Today I received my yearly horoscope analysis by Liz Greene. Thanks a lot, but...
This year, transit Saturn will be in conjuction with my natal Venus. In the same time (I think it's in june) those planets will be in trine with transit Uranus in conjuction with transit Mars and both in conjuction with my natal Chiron, but... In my Yearly Horoscope Analysis by Liz Green no words about this aspects. Why? I think that is one of a few very important transits aspects and I would like to know something about... Anybody help me? Liz Greene doesn't... Best regards from Croatia, Alex

Aleksandra [ alexis.xyz*xyz.hi.hinet.hr --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Zagreb, Croatia --- Tuesday, March 4, 2003 at 15:20 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: In the course of a year, there are several hundreds of personal transits. Our reports select the ones which are most relevant in the light of the interpretation models we are using.

If you are an astrologer, it is perfectly possible that your rules for what is most important are different from those used by Liz Greene or our other authors. It is a fact that different astrologers have different viewpoints.

I think you should accept that, if you ask for an interpretation by another astrologer, he/she uses his/her viewpoint and his/her rules, and not yours.



Dear Alois, why some astrologer count Lunar Chart by birth place, some by living place? My Lunar is much better, where I was born, then here, and it is only about 150 km south from here?

Some will love to argue endlessly about the superiority of their choice, but I consider this mostly pointless. Anything goes, as Paul Feyerabend used to say-



Mich frustriert es, wenn im Text dauernd über einen oder den Partner geschrieben steht. Hätte ich doch nur einen! Ich bin seit langem alleinstehend und werde jedesmal, wenn ich mein Horoskop lese daran erinnert, dass ich eben keinen Partner habe. Es steht wohl so geschrieben,
dass ich im Moment keinen passenden Freund finde, doch lustig finde ich das nicht unbedingt. Weitgehend muss ich das wohl akzeptieren und tue das auch, doch warum gehen so viele Leute davon aus, dass jeder einen Partner hat? Ich fände es für mich besser, ich bekäme nur das Horoskop eigens für mich alleine. Noch besser wäre allerdings, ich bekäme einen Typ, wann ich denn endlich wieder die Chance für eine Beziehung bekäme.
Es grüsst Maggie

Alois adds: Einen Typ können wir nicht liefern, aber vielleicht einen Tip(p), z.B. wenn Sie die Jahresanalyse von Liz Greene bestellen - ohne Garantie, dass wirklich ein Typ/Tip/Tipp drin steht.

Wir haben Spezialoptionen bei unseren Horoskopen für Menschen, die gleichgeschlechtliche Partner vorziehen. Manche Homosexuelle regen sich gern schrecklich auf, wenn das falsche Geschlecht im Text gebraucht wird.

Zum Glück sind die partnerlosen Menschen nicht eine derart lautstarke Personengruppe, sonst müssen wir auch noch Horoskopvarianten für absichtlich Partnerlose entwicklen, sowie solche für unfreiwillig Partnerlose, und all das bei jeder Bestellung noch sorgfältig abfragen. Unsere Bestellseite bzw. Telefonlinie wird dann bald indisketer als ein Beichtstuhl werden.

In my direct opinion these people are not your friends, as a picean sun you are naturally open to the energies of others and your happiness can sometimes become theirs. This is known as an indirect form of vampirism, they come to see you, talk about whatever bothers them, and feel much better as you feel worse. As Jupiter transits your first you may find a lot of people all wishing to see you, the transit of Saturn in gemini may be trining your mars moon conjunction, as i do not know the degrees i can but speculate, so this possible trine will highlight your own internal discipline and refine the Libran tendency to sit on laurels into an unshakable strength for a while. The anger is not your it is theirs. Your challenge, as Saturn transits through your 11th house, is to refine the circle of friends that you have and to question what they mean to you. To test them and to develop critical analysis of this part of life. Once you have decided what they mean to you, you can take action. From an objective point of view i believe you need to find the strength to ask them to pester someone else. But its not up to an objective outsider. It is up to you to make the decision.

Primus: Saturn Adverse.

Would someone know the answer to this one. I am a Pisces with Leo rising (5 degrees) moon and mars in Libra so most of my friends are Cancer and Libra. I get along so well with Libra but may Cancer friends think nothing of it to drop by unannounced and park themselves at any time of the day or evening and expect to be fed. What gives. I thought Cancer people liked to cook. None of them including my mother have ever invited me for food. I am rether reclusive and do not appreciate these people wanting to visit at the drop of hat. If someone could explain it astrologically, maybe I'd understand. It makes me so angry and when I voice my not finding it right to just drop in like that they just ignore what I am saying and start in with all their problems, and say - now I feel better. Go figure. This sounds more like an Ann Landers letter but do I need to get rid of them.

Hallo,
eben wurde mir anhand eines Synastrie-Horoskops mit jemandem, der ziemlich genau gleich alt ist wie ich, bewusst, dass ich all diese Konjunktionen der langsameren Planeten mit ALLEN Menschen haben muss, die etwa zur selben Zeit in der selben Gegend geboren sind wie ich (± 3 Wochen). D.h., ich müsste auch besondere Affinitäten mit all diesen Menschen haben.

Wo ist mein Denkfehler, bzw. welche Faktoren schärfen / individualisieren diese Koinzidenzien?

Danke für die Auskunft, ciao

Stefan

Stefan
--- Sunday, March 2, 2003 at 18:04 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Der Denkfehler liegt darin, dass so ein einfacher Deutungsansatz wie er im 'Kurzhoroskop Partner' oder 'Astroclick Partner' nur einen recht kleinen Bruchteil einer normalerweise komplexen Beziehnungssituation erhellt. Sie dürfen nicht zu viel von einem so einfachen Ansatz erwarten.

In den kostenlosen Horoskopen auf unserer Website finden sie nur Deutungen von Einzelfaktoren, keine Analysen einer Gesamtschau. Dazu müssten Sie sich in den AstroShop begeben und z.B. das Beziehungshoroskop von Liz Greene bestellen. Dort werden die Horoskope in einer Gesamtschau analysiert, und die wirklich individuellen Kompenenten, die zu Mustern zusammenwirken, bewertet, wogegen das Gewicht der 'Generationsaspekte', die Sie mit sehr vielen Leuten teilen, in der Gesamtschau in den Hintergrund tritt.

Wir können und wollen Ihnen das im kostenlosen Bereich nicht vorführen - ausser an den Musterhoroskopen, die Sie auf der Website finden. Alle Musterhoroskpe leiden aber daran, dass sie nicht Sie persönlich betreffen - das ist eben doch etwas ganz anderes als meinetwegen Bill und Hillary Clinton. Sie müssen sich schon auf eine Bestellung einlassen, um diese Erfahrung am eigenen Horoskop zu machen.

Wenn Sie das Gästebuch-Archiv aufmerksam durchsehen, werden Sie auch viel eindrückliches Feedback zu unseren Horoskopanalysen, die man bestellen muss, finden.

Bei nochmaligen Lesen sehe ich, dass meine Antwort eigentlich an Ihrer Frage vorbeigegangen ist. Ich lasse sie stehen, da auch diese Punkte bedenkenswert sind.

Obwohl Sie Synastrie erwähnten, zielten Sie weniger auf Partnerhorskope, sondern auf die Beziehung zu ihren eigenen Horoskopzwillingen. Ich kann dazu aus meiner Erfahrung sagen, dass tatsächlich oft besondere Affinitäten zu Menschen bestehen, die nahe am eigenen Geburtsdatum geboren sind. Diese Affinitäten sind aber nicht immer positiv, da es ja etliche Komponenten im Horoskop gibt, die einem selbst Mühe machen, und noch viel mehr, wenn sie einem aussen, in anderen gegenübertreten.

Eine andere, besondere Affinität stelle ich auch immer wieder zu Menschen fest, die mehr oder weniger am gleichen Tag Geburtstag haben, wenn auch in einem anderen Jahr. Hier ist es die Sonne in einem bestimmten Tierkreisgrad, die man spürt, nicht die anderen Planeten. Bei aller Vorbehalten gegenüber einer reinen Sonnenzeichen-Astrologie ist eben die Sonne doch der Planet, der die Wesensmitte repräsentiert, und von grosser Wichtigkeit.



I have found Astro.com to be a great site, one of the best online-perhaps the best. There are some reports I (and my friends) would like to buy but they are very expensive for us here in India. It will be great if you can provide it for a cheaper rate, then I think you will get more customers. Keep up the good work!

Alois adds: I am afraid quality has its price. Look at BMW, Porsche or Mercedes. Our goal is to be and remain the best in quality of horoscopes, not in volume.

PS: There are certainly more wealthy people in India than in any other country of the world. There is probably also more inequality of wealth in your country than in most others.



I wish you would have partner/relation forcasts, free and to shop for.
Are you already working on it?....

A note on February 16 points out some extra space or words missing in the daily forecasts. What I see is a u with an accent mark, which should be a dash (punctuation). I think it's a problem with my Mac, and maybe it's the same for the writer of the note.
But the writer does inspire me to point out spelling mistakes, which I hope to do in the future. I guess it's tough to work in 6 languages. At least we don't have to deal with the terrible binding on dear Rob's book!

Why did you withdraw the Pelletier interpretations in the interactive personal charts? Although it's true that the site does a lot for free, your cutting back is disappointing.

Alois adds: We did not withdraw anything. AstroClick portrait is unchanged - on the first level appears an interpretation by Robert Hand, and most windows then have a link to an alternative interpretation by Pelletier.



I love your free services. I have yet to purchase a paid report or horoscope but your free horoscopes are breathtakingly accurate. Excellent site.

thanks very much for all the information and insight you give--i appreciate it and will continue to learn much more about astrology. i felt pretty cheap for using all the free stuff and finally bought a psychological horoscope, which was very interesting. thanks for these opportunities.
incidentally, i think that the interpretations by mr. pelletier are fine and realistic, and that they do not need to be softened at all.

After my questions, why do you have to click so many times to get all the informaiton Alois suggested that I purchase some full reports. Alois, just you you know I've purchased many reports from you company. I just Emailed Robert Hand b/c I couldn't find your Email address b/c two reports I purcahsed which you programmed have conflicting informaiton with regard to the midpoint method for joint composite horoscopes making the interpretation different on each. Please Email me with you Emali address so I can write to you. Thank you.
