In making a decision on whether to have a baby induced on one day or another, how do I go about finding out the astrological aspects for the days in question? The doctor is leaving it up to me to decide and I would like more information before choosing a day.

Alois adds: At Astrodienst, we strictly keep away from medical advice. If you want an astrological answer to your question, you should look for a good astrologer in the area where you live.

There are serious ethical questions involved, whether one should try to control the date of conception or the moment of birth by technical intervention.



Dear Alois,
Its not about having fun with charts.. its about really finding out what could be more accurate.
Gemini rising makes me and saturn in first house. which considering the past two years have been about saturn for me..and therefore more accurate.. But I'd like to be sure

Please advise. I'd really appreciate it.

I have a very urgent question to ask you.

I was born in London, but have lived in New Delhi India since I was Five years old.

Should I follow a natal chart that I was born with, with London Time ( 10:33 am) which makes me a pisces rising.

OR

A chart with same birth details (date and year) except the time is +5:30.. following Indian Standard time which makes it (4:03 pm) therefore Gemini rising.

Most astrologers say-- don't change the time zone.. I don't understand why?
after all i have to follow that particular instance when I was born isn't it?

I am confused and I'd like to understand.

Many regards
anusha

Dear Alois - Just wanted to say thanks for the free two months' subscription to the extended choice daily horoscopes, which I was given for ordering an Astrodienst report. I had previously decided that I could better support your enterprise by ordering reports from you periodically rather than by subscribing to the extended day horoscopes, since I have both Solar Fire and Robert Hand's book on transits, and consequently really didn't need this particular service. I told myself it would be incredibly lazy of me to get it, when I could figure the stuff out myself. But now that I have it, I must say it is very handy, not to mention fun, and I can see that when my free two months is up I will be subscribing for a year. I've been spoiled!

Lazily yours - Pam

Ich gehe fast täglich auf Ihre Seite und schaue besonders das Tageshoroskop und die Vorschau an. Nun frage ich mich, warum in der Vorschau bestimmte Transite nicht oder nur kurz angegeben werden. Z.B. mein Saturn/Saturn Trigon steht über Monate drin, und das Saturn/Sonnen Quadrad, das ich viel heftiger wahrnehme als das obenerwähnte Trigon findet keine Beachtung?

Paranit Monika Müller [ paranit.xyz*xyz.freesurf.ch --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Basel, Schweiz --- Wednesday, April 30, 2003 at 06:06 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Ihr Transit Saturn Quadrat Sonne ging vom August 2002 bis Anfang Mai 2003. Unter der Rubrik 'langfristig' im Tageshoroskop erscheinen immer nur drei Themen, d.h. nie alle, die aktuell sind, sondern eine Auswahl. 'Frische' Themen haben dort ein höheres Gewicht als solche, die schon älter sind. Da aber dieser Transit Anfang Mai nochmals exakt wird (am 9.5.2003), wird er in jenden Tagen vermutlich nochmals erwähnt werden. Das Trigon Saturn-Saturn ist heute, 30.4.2003, für Sie exakt und daher nochmals angesprochen.

Was Sie 'heftiger wahrnehmen', ist wiederum ein anderes Thema. Das ist nicht immer automatisch für unseren Computer so klar - auch wenn er schon erschreckend viel "versteht".

Im 'Kurzhoroskop Vorschau' ist unbedingt die Einleitung zu beachten, welche sagt:
In der Kurzausgabe werden nur einige der Transite über Ihr Geburtshoroskop besprochen. Es kann sein, dass durch die Kürzung und Auswahl auch einige wichtige Transite, die in diese Sechs-Monats-Periode fallen, fehlen.

Die Kürzung ist bewusst gemacht, da wir die im Astro-Shop angebotenen Jahresthemen und Jahresanalysen nicht vollständig durch kostenlose Services konkurrenzieren dürfen - wenn wir nichts mehr verkaufen könnten, gäbe es auch keine kostenlosen Services mehr. Wir müssen bei den kostenlosen Services darauf achten, dass sich ein Gleichgewicht mit den Bezahl-Services einstellt, so dass wir den kostenlosen Bereich überhaupt finanzieren können. Steuergelder bekommen wir bisher leider noch keine, sondern umgekehrt, wir zahlen nur an den Staat.

PS: Eine hervorragende Übersicht über den zeitlichen Ablauf der Transite gibt der 'Transitkalender', zu finden unter Gratishoroskope -> Erweiterte Grafikauswahl -> Gruppe Astrodienst spezial -> Transitkalender für 3 Jahre.



Hi, first let me say that i love your site it is by far the best site i have found on the web, well written and easy to navagate, with some of the best info from the worlds leading astrologers...i guess you know that tho, anyway keep up the good work. Also i have a question, what happens if the MC makes the third point of a grand trine, (actually it would be a grand kite in my case), is that still a grand kite/trine or is it not because the MC is not a planet?? Any advice you have or suggestions as to where to look is greatly apperciated, thanks in advance.

Madison, Wi, usa --- Tuesday, April 29, 2003 at 21:38 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I am afraid there is no yes/no answer to such questions. Astrologers use their personal style to choose orbs for aspects, and they also make personal choices about what chart factors to include in aspect figures.

As far as I am aware of, Liz Greene for example does not include mathematical points like Ascendant, MC or Moon's Node in her consideration of aspect figures. I tend to share that opinion. As a compensation, she uses larger wide orbs, so in the average her charts get lots of aspect figures anyway.

But certainly, for your peace of mind, you can also consider such a grand trine where the MC is involved.

In our extended chart selection, just activate the checkbox 'aspect lines to all', and you get aspects to the MC drawn in as well.



Dear Alois,
I have been trying to email you as the webmaster for a few days now and have found that the email address provided (webmaster*astro.ch) does not work. Is there a temporary fault with this address (with Mercury being retrograde and whatnot) or is there an alternative/new address where I could possibly contact you?
Patiently awaiting your enlightenment,
Thank you very much

Would it be possible to port your daily horoscope to PDA's like Palm's OS, so that when someone buys the yearly personal horoscope from you, they could buy a palm version for an extra fee as well?

George Lowell [ mtwo4u.xyz*xyz.yahoo.com --- .xyz*xyz. -> * ]
Los Angeles, USA --- Tuesday, April 29, 2003 at 07:05 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Rather sooner than later most PDAs will be connected to the web, and have a decent browser, and then you simply call up your daily horoscope online. I expect that most locally held information is better replaced with a web connection to a central server.



Here's a suggestion - Have you ever thought about putting together a Mercury retrograde notice on the daily horoscopes page? It seems most poeple I know don't think to check the extended transit chart for retrogrades. Considering the frequency of Mercury retrograde, and it's potentially 'not-so-subtle' influence - I think it would be an appropriate addition to give an 'awareness alert' about it's occurance, duration, and potential manifestation - whenever it goes into, and out of, effect.

Other than that - I Love your site! Truely One of the best sites of any kind on the web - A Godsend. Thank you.

Dear Alois, alltough my hobby is astrology, I still gave to two different astrologers, to make prognosis for me. The both ladies do it the way, how is Progressive Moon going through the houses (2 1/4 years in one sign). One told me I am going the second part of the year 2001 to the abroad (where I've allready been). I am still here, that means, she was wrong. The other lady, said to me, my Secondary Moon was from summer 2000 till autumn 2002 in 5th house, and I should have to do with children or adopt a child, what is not thrue either. Then I have tried myself do it my way: Progressive Moon through Progressive Horoscope. I came to conclusion, that my Moon in the year 2000 was in 3rd house (conjuction to IC). I have mooved on the April 11th, 2000 to another place, (my birthday is April 27th). 2001, 2002, was my Moon in the 4th house, I don't work since April 2001 and was at home (I am still without job), that means, 4th house. Progressive horoscope for 2003 shows Moon on the beginning 5th house. All books say, that is important,how Progressive Moon moves through Birth Chart. My praxis shows, that is not true. Many years ago, my Moon was in 3rd house: I have emmigrating to abroad for 7 years (lord of 3rd house was in the 9th house).
What do you think about it?

Kranj, slovenia --- Saturday, April 26, 2003 at 08:27 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: I am not an authority in astrological advice, I do not read charts but leave that to the real experts. I am only an authority in technical and computational matters. That said, I do not use the progressive Moon.

Predictions of external events are a tricky matter. If one wants to make them, they should at least be based on more factors playing together, not just isolated facts like a progressed Moon in the 5th house.



Garrulous we Aquarians! I write one last time to ask if anyone has thought of Chiron as a conjunctive suboctave of the dual Aquarian rulerships of Saturn and Uranus? Chiron was an Astrologer. Aquarians are the natural Astrological Sign. AND speaking personally, the wounded healer might indeed be an excellent bridge between the oft-times abrasive forces of Saturn trying to reconcile with its planetary neighbor Uranus. Chiron, like a good diplomat stands between.

Chiron is in my first house so I have a bit of an opinion I suppose. Grins!

Greetings!

I am writing first to commend you all on a first rate Astrology cite. It is simply the best I've ever found on the net. Second, I would inquire about a job. You see, I am also an Astrologer and I have a natal placement that is extraordinarily well-suited to the profession. I entreat you, please, to look up my chart. 01/31/1974, 9:33AM EST, Towson, Maryland, USA. I would like to know if you are hiring and if one could pursue such a career with exceptional Astrologers such as yourselves. I do Know (being a Grand Trine Aquarius) that I could be an excellent asset to your work. I have been professionally on my own for the past five years or so and would like to expand my horizons. I ask you sincerely to give me a shot. Thank you for your most valuable time and energies. ACG

Hi Alois! Many sincere thanks for your prompt response. THat motivated me to resort to your knowledge once again: I am somewhat puzzled as to what seems to me a contradictory interpretation of the Nodes when examined from the perspective of house and sign position. Eg: NOrth NOde in 1st and in Scorpio. The literature reads the former as a need for independence and the latter as the need to learn interdependence ( to put it in simple terms). Would you be so kind as to shed some light and wisdom into these two poles? I do appreciate it.

The first thing I do on mornings it's check my personal daily horoscope. This page it's NUMBER 1,
I'd like to see if it's possible to post a comment on S.A.R.S, can scientists find a cure, is it just a trick of Saturn in Gemini?
I would appreciate any answer!

mes études astrologiques me permettent d'affirmer que neptune est exaltée en lion et donc en chute en verseau ce qui expliquerait la chute du parti socialiste en france- l'attitude utopique de la france en ce qui concerne l'irak - les tergiversations onusiennes à soutenir la coalition anglo-américaine - les fausses informations des usa quant à leurs interventions étrangères, etc...Par ailleurs il me semble opportun de signaler la conjonction de planètes dans un même signe voire une conjonction dissonnante orbe de 10 ° l'une au crépuscule d'un signe, l'autre à l'aurore du signe suivant.

Hi,
one question reagarding the [free] charts (Radix/transits/progressions): The transits are drawn twice once on the outside - in an exact position - and once on the inside of the zodiac - with parts of a circle.
What does this mean? Is the inner drawing the transit orb or sth. like that?
Thanks a lot, kind regards

Alice
--- Thursday, April 24, 2003 at 14:47 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: The lines drawn within the zodiac signs are the annual path of that transiting planet, for 12 months from the given start date. Little marks indicate the position at the beginning of that period and one year later.



hi there!i would be very grateful if you could tell me the positions and signs of my south/north nodes!
i was born on 29/04/81 * 6.17 in Dartford,Kent,Eng.

Alois adds: Please see Free Horoscopes -> chart drawing, and look where the Lunar Node is. It appears as either 'True Node' or 'Mean Node', depending on your choice of chart style.

That listed one is the North node. The south node is in the exactly opposite sign, at the same degree.



Why is it that in the section introduction to astrology taurus goes until May 21st but, when i insert the data for a friend of mine that was born on May 21st he comes out as a gemini??. I have seen different dates for the signs in different books, like one sign goes until the 20th or the 21st, or the 22nd,,, or starts the 19th, or the 20th,, Why is this? .......My friend wants to know whether he is a gemini or not...To me it seems he is.

Dear Alois,

I have enjoyed your site for close to 3 years and would like to ask a question regarding Liz Greene's seminars: is it possible to obtain transcripts?

Is there a way to get a personalized analysis of my chart (versus a computer generated one) and my partners? I would like to know what it is in my chart/his chart that effects me so and what the effects are to him? Also I have been told that his year of birth, 1955, makes him a major candidate for the inability to succumb to a relationship. My instinct tells me that he feels just the same as I do but he resists it. Please advise me as to the best way to order such analysis. -AQ/AQ66 and AR/AQ55

Alois adds: Es sind sogar fünf ganze Jahre zugänglich, nicht nur vier. Immer das aktuelle und das nächste jahr, sowie die drei zurückliegenden Jahre.

Das ist auch sinnvoll: Sehr wenige Menschen kennen bereits taggenaue Termine in 2005 oder noch später, ein Tageshoroskop ist daher dafür wenig sinnvoll. Hingegen will man oft das Horoskop für wichtige Daten der Vergangenheit abrufen.



At the time I was born there was no Pacific Daylight Time so I entered my birth time as 4:38 am PST however, now we are on PDT, and so everything I get is based on PST, is that correct? Is there a way to adjust this? If I put birth time as 4:38 am PDT it is incorrect....

When I'm reading my chart, I'm an adult (chronologically at least) so I have to open each so that I can read Pelletier's version for adults. When most of your readers are adults, why is this so? It takes a lot of time to open each one?

Thanks for your answers!

Alois adds: You simply enter your birth time 4.38 and leave the timezone setting on 'automatic'. Our system will do it right for you.

About the Pelletier readings being on second level: we believe that the readings by Robert Hand, while written for younger people, are very valuable also for adults. Some of the Pelletier readings are a bit tough, and we wanted to moderate their effect by putting them at the second level only, to avoid hard confrontations, but still grant access for those who take the trouble to seek it.



I have tried to purchase two extended 12 month horoscopes. One for me and one for a gift, but have not been able to find a way to do it without your web site duplicating the same person instead of two separate horoscopes.

Alois adds: The extended horoscope is a SUBSCRIPTION, i.e. a right to use a special feature when you visit our website. It is not something whichis shipped to you. It is also not limited to a particular person. When you have this subscription, you can use it for several persons stored in your profile.

If you want to give such a subscription as a gift, to another person, so that person can use it whith her own data and her own profile, independent of yours: You have to create a second profile for that person, and order the subscription under hat identity, using your own credit card. This wil be a bit unusual, but should be possible.



I apologise for the confusion. There was no need to be rude. I was referring to other software programmes and sites that have confirmed I have Aquarius Rising under the Tropical System.
I now realise that you do use this system also, so my confusion remains that I have Pisces Rising on your site and Aquarius Rising on others. I had just thought you may be able to help. I guess I must be Pisces Rising afterall, then. Thanks. Love your website!

I said: leave sideral alone. The site warns you twofold against using it.

I do not know where your problem is. According to what you said, our site gives you Aquarius rising, if you don't use unrecommended options. [Please understand that I do not know your birth data, as you never gave them. I cannot run your chart myself, lacking your data].

Why is the daily astro. telling me my moon and sun are conjunct. My sun is capri. and my moon sign is scorpio. 1-4-67 4:56 pm, Htfd. Conn., and today is today, 4-21-03????

nancy
connecticut, USA --- Monday, April 21, 2003 at 19:06 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Nobody is telling you that. If anything, it is is telling you that THE Moon (not YOUR Moon) has a transit over YOUR Sun. YOUR planets are fixed as given by the natal chart, but THE planets are moving on the sky and sometimes hit YOUR planets.

If the daily horoscope says: Moon opposition Sun, it means that the MOVING Moon on the sky hits the point which is in opposition to your NATAL Sun.

If it says: Sun square Moon, this means that the MOVING Sun is in square aspect to your NATAL Moon. Both can easily be true at the same time.

On the daily horoscope page, there are little Info buttons, which can be clicked and provide more detailed explanation of such matters. In addition, our FAQ section (frequently asked questions and answers) is really useful.

Like beauty, also problems often exist only in the eye of the beholder.

Alois adds: Thanks. Please contact our foreign language editor karin at astro-dot-com for assignment of volunteer translation work. She is the only one who has the overview of these things - a gargantuan task in eight languages (Danish is coming next...).



Wow, thank-you Jenny. I didn't think this would cause a little tension. I must say that Alois, I didn't ask your opinion about what you think of these charts. Your opinion is very personal and actually innapropriate here, I must say I was a little taken aback by what you wrote. If you were to read my question properly you would see that I was seeking a professional answer not what you do or do not believe. My reason for attempting to conceive a girl is a very private a personal one and one that was not under question. Instead of making a flying statement you could have passed this question onto someone else at the site who is better informed about how the Lunar Fertility Calendar works.

I just noticed your reply to the question about the Lunar Fertility Calendar which is on THIS site. Alois, if that is your opinion than why is it on this site? If it is in fact not to be taken seriuosly it should be removed instead of giving people false hope. I have looked into astrolgical theories and have found them quite interesting. I also think you need to not let your personal feelings be contributed in your reply. Yes many things about our children can't be controlled, but I think you need to have a good think about why someone would do this instead of judging them.

Alois adds: There are many astrological techniques in use by astrologers, and made available via our computation services, even when I personally do not subscribe to them.

Some people call this attitude tolerance.

At the same time, I take the liberty to express my personal opinion, when I see that a particular technique like the Jonas method, which is anything but an established body of knowledge, is taken to serious.



Please help me I am running out og time fast! According to my Lunar Fertility Calendar if I want to try for a girl I should attempt this month, my red days are from April 19th until April 22nd. This falls under the girl zodiac sign of Taurus, however it also falls under a Full Moon, which is known to favour boy babies. Can you please tell me whether I should still attempt now or not? Thank-you very much!

Alois adds: I am afraid I do not take the Jonas fertility calendar all that serious - it is more a gamble than a science. I have checked the calendar for few kids in my circle of friends, for those where the time of conception, or rather the time of the intercourse which led to conception, is known. No strong confirmation for the Jonas calendar could be found that way.

While it can't hurt to have a look at the Jonas calender output, it is certainly not a reliable source of information.



hello again,
alois, please explain how the order of entries in my astro is selected. one day, they seemed to be in alphabetical order, and the next day, they seem to be in the order of when they were entered. until yesterday, when the most recent entry came out first instead of last.
knowing how well this site is designed, i figured there must be a reason.

Gentlemen:

Your ephemeris is quite fine! Is there a computer program thatI can buy that will sort the planets into predetermined positions, and give me back the dates of these positions? In other words, if I place mars in one place, jupiter in another and mercury in another what date would that correspond to?

I am writing a history of Nostradamus and his contemporaries and this would be very good for our research. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who could help me solve this problem.

Thank you.

Alois adds: Simply go to Free Horoscopes -> chart drawing
The Sun sign is listed in the upper left corner, with the exact position 0°Leo 9'54" just below, for your given date and time. in 2003

For the same day and time in 2002, it is 0°Leo 23'47".

If he were born on 23 July 1979, at the same time and date, his Sun would have been in Cancer.

The moments of sign changes by the Sun vary from year to year, and only a precise calculation gives you the correct answer, not some sun sign tables in magazines.

PS: How did you manage to get that far into the future, so that you can speak about July 2003 as the past?

Alois adds: We do not maintain a mailing list, in fact. Our users maintain it, via their 'profiles' on www.astro.com, which they administer on the 'my astro' page.

It is up to the users, to visit 'my astro', to login to their profiles, to change, edit, add or delete data there, or to delete the entire profile. Once a user has deleted his/her registered profile from 'my astro', he/she will not receive any mailing form us.

Registered users with an un-deleted profile however will receive up to four emails per year from Astrodienst, where we inform them about new services or new offers. So far, two such emails have been sent: One on 20 November 2002, the second on 15 April 2003.

Under no circumstances do we pass on the email addresses of the profiles, or other data, to a third party.

Astrodienst provides a very generous free service to its users, particularily to the registered users which can store up to 100 natal data records in their profiles and generate free charts and horoscope readings for these data very swiftly.

We make a great effort in terms of staff and computer power to provide this service, which currently is offered in seven languages. The service we provide is financed by the sales or reports in our AstroShop. Without sufficient sales, there would be no free service.

We think that sending promotional email to our registered users every three or four months is not unfair at all. Opting out is very easy - simply delete your profile. Login at 'my astro' and use the link 'Delete entire profile, including all data ' at the bottom of that page. It only becomes visible when you are logged in to a profile, obviously.



I intend to purchase your Extended Daily HOroscope - but there is one problem. I would like to be able to access my horoscope from my HOME or WORK email address (as I spend alot of time at Work, but also do not want to be restricted from checking horoscope from home). Currently, your SIGN IN SUBSCRIPTION only allows ONE EMAIL ADDRESS. Perhaps you are concerned that two different people may be taking advantage of the materials, and only pay 1 cost. BUT it is me, and I would be using the SAME DATA, SAME PERSON - just different EMAIL address in order to access the information. QUESTION: If you are able to change your SUBSCRIPTION process, to allow access from at least 2 different email addresses for the same content materials - that would be GREAT! - as it would solve the problem for me. And I could access the materials from home or work. Thank you!!

Alois adds: You misunderstand something. You email address is only used as a unique identifier. Nothing prevents you from entering the same email address when you sign in from any computer in the world. Nothing is SENT to your email address, when you use our site.

You can sign in to astro.com with your single identity from any computer on the planet (and beyond).



Does the universe change or only man does change? If now Aquarius is air and many hundred of years ago he was water then why the predictions still apply? If the way we interpret our destinies change with us and if the interpretation still holds true then it probably means that we hold the key to our own lives. Us as a whole and not the plantes, stars and their motions in the heavens. Might be that our long glances at the sky do not tell anything about ourselves but we think they do and that makes the diffrence everything is in us and we can look to the earth and see the same things. Or am I wrong? I had this chance to express myself and I did. Please show no contempt.

Alois adds: I agree that the images we see on the sky are projections of our soul images, and that this is why astrology works. But also the things which humans have seen happening on the sky have formed their inner images over the many millennia of human existence.

PS: Aquarius, the bearer of water (the 'rain man') has always be an air figure. Water vapor is a gas, and rain clouds are "airy" objects.

Please give me your opinion on where these voices are coming from. It is very confusing to try to comprehend :). My friend's website with the evps is www.mcmsys.com/~brammer/. Our evps are 100% real.

I just want to express my thanks for the free services you generously provide. I have found guidance for myself and help to guide others in my care. I am continuing to study and learn about the relationship between astrological and global political and environmental events, as well as human lives. Thank you from the heart. Some day I hope I will be able to buy something just to support your service. Even perhaps some day I might make a contribution to your art. Thanks for your kind gift.

The only constructive criticism I have about your program is that in order to access maps ('astrotravel') I have to adopt the ruse of personality, when I might be looking at the geographic influences of an astrological event. I know, the interpretations are intended for individuals and travel. Even so, I've found the resulting maps very significant for political and weather events, although the lines are not precisely exact in location. They are also very suggestive for personal impact, showing the planetary aspects that might be emphasized in a given transit (at a certain place).

Living from the land here in the North Atlantic, weather is god especially when you are not able to set aside resources that will get you through winter. Then foresight becomes the only safeguard where preparation cannot meet need. Thanks again for the access you provide to these charts!

As usual, compliments to all the Astro*Dienst astrologers and programmers for all the excellent work! I have to admit that of the 40 people I have shown this site, at least 39 have remained satisfied.
Anyway, I did not want to spam anyone's e-mail address with what could turn out to be junk, so I will make this brief and post it here. I am fluent in both English and Bulgarian and am currently wondering if Astro is considering having their pages for the AstroClick portrait and so on display in Bulgarian. Or if not, just some general information on how you decide to translate these pages in a given language.
Thanks!

Alois adds: Many thanks for the kind feedback and for the word-of-mouth advertising. Our success depends on exactly that.

I am sorry, but we have currently no plans for any of the eastern european languages.

Our ability to support a language with our free services depends on the income we can make from selling high-quality Astro*Intelligence reports in that language. To achieve that, a country must have sufficient high-level demand for astrological services, and sufficiently wide-spread wealth to afford reports in the 50 Euro/US$ range in a significant part of the population. Currently, these conditions are not met in any of the eastern European countries.

Besides the financial limits there is also the limit of staff capacity. We can only pursue a small number out of all possible interesting projects. Even when the actual translation work is done outside of the company, a lot of work remains inhouse, for organising, supervising and integrating the translator's work.

Some good news in the same department: Our portuguese version will come online before the easter weekend.

Alois adds: Ava, I have to correct myself. I have deleted my previous reply.

It is possible that you saw indeed a wrong solar arc result on your chart. Until 9 April 2003, there was a bug in the ascendant calculation for solar arc charts (see guestbook entry of April 6, 2003). We have fixed it recently, but we forgot to install the fixed program on one of the web servers in our server farm - on server w11. These web servers are randomly assign to requests from visitors.

It is possible that you got the un-fixed server and saw indeed a solar arc ascendant which was computed like a progressed ascendant, i.e. incorrectly.

I just stumbled accidentally over the problem when we fixed a detail which came up with the (upcoming) portuguese version of our site. When I installed this fix, I asked my programmer whether he had put the 'solar arc' fix also onto server w11, and he said, no he had not, as he had not been aware that w11 needed separate updates.

Hi, i was hoping that perhaps you could answer this niggling question in my mind.

What with space travel and the soon colonisation of planets in the next 100 years, how will the chart of child change if it is born on the moon for example? Will it not have intuition, dreams, emotions, etc? And on that point, will the planet earth have an effect on their chart, what does earth influence? Does the earth's position effect us living on it?
These might have no known answer now, but i hope that you can shed some light on this matter.
Thanks for a great website, my life is nearly controlled by checking up when the moon is changing it postition. Thanks!

Alois adds: Astrology is pragmatic, it works with what is there and with the experience we gain out of observation. I am sure future astrologers will work out their selenocentric charts and how to read them. I expect Earth to replace Moon in most of its meaning - it will be even much more the 'mother figure' for a Moon population than Moon ever was for us. To deal with that question today I find a waste of time, though. It is much more interesting to read real charts of real people instead of would-be charts.

I have recently been introduced to an absolutely amazing thing. My friend told me that Thomas Edison discovered that spirit voices were showing up on cassette tapes shortly after he invented the tape recorder(and have been able to do so every since but for some reason few people know of this and scientists wont give it the time of day). I didn't believe my friend that this could possibly work - until i tried it for myself. We have a whole website of them now. It is truelly amazing has convinced me of some kind of life after death 100%. I don't know how the heck this could be possible though. I am curious as to if anyone very knowledgeable of astrology, possibly this type of thing also, can help us figure out what type of astrological cycles may help this occur. When we get them they are usually very short maybe one or two in one recording. There has to be a way to figure this out ( i have neptune in the 11th :)) i need some astrological guidance :). This is truelly a miracle - although at times a little sad scary. If we could just figure out some pattern to help it work more maybe these spirits could give us more info that could change the way the world sees things. The longest sentence we have gotten so far are leave me alone,play me that tape,a nd caleb loved me. Astrology helps in so many areas - i KNOW it has to have some strings to this also. Thanks so much!

They might have to get a freshup course with the Gremlins. Those have mastered digital a long time ago, as everyone who owns a computer will be happy to confirm.

As usual, your free horoscopes are VERY accurate - my car just exploded on the German Autobahn covering my car and all around with oil and smoke. No one was hurt but it has been a very challenging day - my stars verify it. I certainly look forward to having a consultation in the future.

Fundamentally, the reading of a Solar Return chart is the reading of the transit chart of your annual birthday.

Hallo Alois,

daß Sie so schnell geantwortet haben, freut mich. Danke dafür.

Daß Sie mich als irgendeinen Laien beschreiben ist kränkend. Offensichtlich stehe ich in Ihrer Rangfolge weit unter Niveau, wenn mindestens der Entwickler der Astro-Software zum Gespräch herhalten muß. Zur Information: dann setzen Sie sich mit Herrn Friass in Verbindung. Denn sowohl das Programm Sarastro als auch Astro-Star und meine eigene Berechnung, die Sie durch die Anführungszeichen ('Selbst-berechnung') ebenfalls abwerten, führen zu anderen Ergebnissen als Ihr Partnerschafts-Horoskop.

Es hätte durchaus eine interessante fachliche Auseinandersetzung werden können, denn ich gehe davon aus, daß Sie gute Gründe haben, eine andere Uhrzeit für die Kombin-Berechnung heranzuziehen.

Ihre englischen Kommentare sind mir übrigens nicht verständlich.

Holger

Holger
--- Tuesday, April 8, 2003 at 10:41 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: Ich hatte Ihnen ja angeboten, uns Ihre Selbstberechnung zu mailen, damit wir sie nachvollziehen können.

Bei Diskrepanzen mit Software, deren Autor Sie nicht selbst sind, ist es immer ratsam, den Autor der Software zuerst zu kontaktieren, und ihn um Erklärung zu bitten, warum er von www.astro.com abweicht. www.astro.com steht ihm nämlich jederzeit zum Testen zur Verfügung, was umgekehrt nicht gilt: uns steht Software XY nicht immmer zum Testen zur Verfügung, und dann nicht in Ihrer Version. Ausserdem arbeiten wir nicht auf Windows, sondern auf Linux, und installieren eher ungern fremde Windows-Software, wenn es nicht einen sehr wichtigen Grund dafür gibt.

In 95% der mir bekannten Fälle endeten hingegen Diskurse mit Endbenutzern damit, dass diese Benutzer falsche Daten eingegeben hatten, oder nicht verstanden, welche Optionen sie nutzten. In den übrigen 4.9% der Fälle handelte es sich um Bugs in der jeweiligen Software XY.

Bugs bei Astrodienst sind ziemlich rar. Wir sind nämlich länger im Geschäft als praktisch alle anderen (24 Jahre), wir verstehen fast immer mehr von der Sache, und wir haben täglich gegen hunderttausend Benutzer auf unserem Server, was einen extrem harten Praxistest darstellt.

Wenn es einen Bug gibt, wird er schnell behoben. Im Unterschied zu PC-Software ist die Korrektur automatisch überall verfügbar, da die Software ja nur auf einer Stelle, unserem Server sitzt. Es gibt dann keine 'veralteten Versionen' mehr.

Ich hatte Sie aber auch auf den Unterschied zwischen 'korrigiertem' Kombin und 'unkorrigiertem' Kombin verwiesen. Beide Varianten werden von uns angeboten, und das 'unkorrigierte' liefert 22:55 Uhr UT.

Es hätte also zur Lösung Ihres Problems genügt, wenn
- Sie die in der erweiterten Horoskopauswahl angebotenen Varianten geprüft hätte, nicht nur die eine als 'korrigiert' gekennzeichnete.
- Sie meiner Antwort gefolgt wären, die auf den Guestbookeintrag vom 3.4. verweist, wo es heisst:
You will wonder what the 'correction technique' is, which is commonly used in Europe: If you do a composite chart, you will find that the MC is 18°49. The corrected Davison chart has exacly the same MC - this is what the correction does. The uncorrected one has a close, but slightly different MC. We just follow common practice, by making the corrected one the default. [The corrected MC can be in the same sign or the opposite sign of the composite MC, but always at the same degree].

Wenn Ihnen das Englisch Mühe macht, so finden Sie sicher jemand in Ihrer Umgebung, der Ihnen das gerne übersetzt. Ansonsten hat Google ein nettes Uebersetzungstool, wo man beliebigen Text hineinkopieren kann und übersetzt bekommt. Mit ein bisschen Phantasie ist das sogar zu verstehen.

Auf deutsch heisst obiger Absatz:
Sie werden sich fragen, was die 'Korrektur' bedeutet, die in Europa im allgemeinen benutzt wird. Wenn Sie ein Komposit erstellen, so werden Sie finden, dass das MC 18°49 ist [für die von Min Wilson gegebenen Daten]. Das korrigierte Kombin liefert exakt den gleichen Wert - das ist es, was die Korrektur bewirkt. Das unkorrigierte Kombin hat einen nahe daran gelegenen, aber leicht verschiedenen MC-Wert. Wir folgen nur der Tradition in Europa, wenn wir das korrigierte Kombin als Standardeinstellung verwenden. [Das korrigierte Kombin-MC kann im gleichen oder im gegenüberliegenden Zeichen zum Komposit-MC liegen, aber immer auf demselben Gradwert].

Ich gehe davon aus, dass diese Korrekturtechnik von Philip Schiffmann, dem Wiener 'Erfinder' des Kombin, erfunden wurde. Ich habe jedenfalls die Praxis der Sternzeit-Kombin-zu-Komposite-MC-Korrektur bei den Astrologen so vorgefunden, als ich das Kombin ca. 1980/81 zum ersten Mal programmierte.



Hallo,
wenn ich mir ein Kombin auf Ihrer Seite berechnen lasse, erhalte ich einen anderen Aszendenten, als wenn ich das gleiche Kombin über andere Horoskopprogramme berechnen lasse. Wie kommt das? Ein konkretes Beispiel: Partner A 22.12.59, 19:40, Goslar, Partner B: 30.3.61, 4:10, Eckenhagen. Wenn ich es selbst berechne erhalte ich einen Kombin-Aszendenten auf 29° Waage - Sie errechnen einen Kombin-AC auf 8° Stier. Die Planetenstellungen sind alle identisch.
Das Kombin ist ja ein Raum-Zeit-Schnittpunkt-Horoskop. Bei dem o.g. Fall müßte es demnach auf den 8.2.1961 berechnet werden - diese Angabe ist ebenfalls identisch. Unterschiedlich hingegen sind die Uhrzeiten. Wenn ich es per Hand errechne erhalte ich eine Kombin-Uhrzeit von 22:55 UT - bei Ihnen hingegen erscheint 23:12. Ich bin verwirrt.
Nutzen Sie eine andere Methode zur Häuserbestimmung des Kombins? Wenn ja, welche?
Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort.

Alois adds: Ihre 'Selbst-berechnung' kann von uns nicht überprüft werden. Wenn Sie sie von Hand machen, und sauber verständlich dokumentieren, können Sie uns das per email oder Fax zusenden und dann können wir Ihren Fehler ausfindig machen.

Wir haben keinen Grund, an der Korrektheit unserer Software zu zweifeln. Ich bin in der Lage, alles von Hand vorzurechnen, wenn notwendig (das tue ich aber nicht, nur weil ein Laie kommt und sagt, "seine" Software rechne etwas anderes. Da müsste schon der Entwickler dieser Software kommen und es ebenfalls von Hand vorrechnen können. Wenn er das nicht kann, sollte er lieber schweigen.).

Oben geben Sie 1961 an, in Ihren Daten auf dem Server haben Sie aber 1962 für Liane. Vielleicht liegt da das Problem?

Vielleicht verwechseln Sie auch die beiden Berechnungsarten Kombin (korrigiert) und Kombin (unkorrigiert). Dazu beachten Sie bitte den Feedback-Eintrag und meine Antwort vom 3.4.2003 an Min Wilson. Auch der 4.4. ist dazu interessant, wo ich noch auf die Frage des 'mittleren Ortes' im Detail eingegangen bin.



Dear ladies, gentlemen,
Usually I rely on astrodienst to check a computer program I use to draw charts. I am currently drawing a chart of a newborn baby (born 31 march 2003). In the Netherlands, and I believe in the rest of Europe also, daylight saving time started 29 march. So I believe I have to subtract 2 hours (instead of only 1 hour) to get GMT. The astrodienst- program doesn't do this. Is this a bug in the program or am I wrong?
I hope you can answer my question. Thanks!!

Alois adds: Summertime started at 2:00 am on Sunday, 30 March 2003. The clock jumped to 03:00 at that time. Our system does it correctly.

As far as I can see from our log files, you have entered a chart for 3 March 2003, not for 31 March (name W.v.d.W). I assume that this created your confusion, you possibly mistyped the date.

I recommend that users make use of the 'report a problem' link at the bottom of all pages to report such kinds of problems, instead of using the guestbook. Via the 'report a problem' we see exactly the same output you are looking at, and it is much easier for us to spot immediately the cause of the problem. For example that the date on the chart is different from the date you write about.



Thanks for the excellent astrological services that you provide. Question: What is the procedure to reduce orbs of aspects I find the defaults too large I normally use 4-5 degrees for slow moving plantes and up to 7 degrees for others. Ths is natal. Progressions only one degree each way. Thanks

Alois adds: Our free chart services are not intended for astrologers who have developed their own rules and their own personal styles for their charting.

I think you should use a full-fledged astrology software like Kepler or Solar Fire, which will give you all the configuration options you might need.

Using a public service like astro.com is like using a bus or train or airplane, compared to your private car or your personal Lear jet. Not all the comfort options can be made available in public transport, which you might find or install in your private vehicle.



Thanks for a wonderful free site that I have used continuously and continue to do so. I appreciate the opportunity to have a place on line to do charts.
Many thanks

Hello, and thank you so very much for having this website! I am a 20-year-old college student and writer who has been studying astrology seriously for about 2 years now, and your site is partially responsible for my continued (and growing) interest in the subject. I would like to sincerely thank everyone involved in the upkeep of the website, and to everyone who contributed to make it such a huge (free) resource for all astrologers: both amateur and professional. The Advanced Chart Options section is especially helpful, and I would again like to thank everyone who keeps this site running from day to day. The database, which allows you to store birthday data, is invaluable, as is just about everything else on the site. I did have one question, though: who (or where) did the Nine Persona Charts come from? Were they Liz Greene's idea or someone else? All I know is that they are very interesting, though I'm not really sure how they are interpreted: I have been using them verify that the birth time is correct--but they are still very helpful! Does anyone know exactly what the charts are used for? One more time: a HUGE thanks for everyone involved in the day-to-day operations of the Astrodienst website! You are doing everyone involved in astrology a grand, impressive favor.

P.S.-Liz Greene's book entitled Saturn: A New Look at an Old Devil is very informative. I would like to thank her for that wonderful piece of astrological literature as well! And I am also wondering if someone could list out all of the other books that she has written during her illustrious career.

There is also a search feature in the left column of the home page. If you type in it 'persona charts', it takes you directly to the relevant section.



Good day,

I have ordered a number of your reports and I am a regular user of your online services and I would like to thank you for your superb site and services.

I have a question concerning Relationship Horoscope Report by Liz Greene as I am planning to order it. As I looked at the sample report you are using both synastry techniques and composite chart. In the sample report, other than introduction and conclusion, there are three main chapters: Chapter II What brings you together, Chapter III The essence of your relationship, and Chapter IV Deeper issues activated inside. I would like to know if it is safe to assume that chapter II uses synastry techniques, chapter III uses Composite chart and that with relation to each individual chart, and chapter IV only analyzes individual charts.

Finally, do you suggest this report to couples just starting a relationship?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to reply to this message.

Alois adds: You are right in respect to chapters II and III. Chapter IV does analyze the natal charts, but interactions between the natal and both, the partner's chart and the composite play a decisive role in weighting the patterns within the natal chart against each other, and to determine which is chosen to be expressed. In some cases, where there is 'natively' an overwhelming weight of one of these patterns, it is possible that it will always prevail, independent of the partner and partnership the individual is involved in.



hallo, ich habe eine frage zu den täglichen horoskopen.

anhand von was wird entschieden, welcher transit, bzw. welcher text als tägliches horoskop ausgewählt wird? meistens sind es ja mehrere, aber warum ist gerade der eine ausgeschrieben und die anderen nicht?

I would like to generate a chart for an event. I entered the time and location of the event. My questions are:
Is it possible to do one?
I have tried - by selecting the event button. However, the system reponds by asking the the gender, as well as indicating that the person is too young. Any advice?
The date in question - 4 - 4 -2003
Thank you, ML

Alois adds: From what you write it looks as if you tried to get a READING OF A CHART, not just a chart. There are no restrictions by age or gender/event for chart drawings, but the reading options do not work for event dates. Our readings were written for birth charts of human beings, not for other kinds of charts.



I would like to know what formula you use to progress the SA angles. In what I have learned about SA, the AC and MC they would be progressed at the same rate as the sun and all aspects remain the same as in the natal chart. You use a different system in progressing them, so aspects to them vary greatly. While the SA planets progress as they would in other SA systems, the angles do not.
For instance other systems would have my SA AC at 06°Vi30', your system puts it at 23°Leo35' . That is only 36° from my natal AC, though I am 48 and the other planets have all moved 48°.
Could you explain this system? Thank you!

Alois adds: I presume you refer to the chart type 'Natal, progressions and solar arc combined' from extended chart selection.

The solar arc for the given date is listed in the lower part of the page, besides the Sun symbol on top of the 'staircase' aspectarian.

For example, for my chart progressed for today, it says 'arc 52°20'3". This is the direction angle added to each natal point.

The SA-directed ascendant and MC are listed on the right side of the drawing, given as AC sa 17can55, MC sa 20pis34.
Given that my natal MC is 28cap14, adding 52°20 gives exactly 20pis34.

For the Ascendant, I think that our programmer indeed chose the wrong technique. Currently our program recomputes the houses from the new MC value, instead of simply directing them. We are going to fix that, and I will add a note here when it is done.

9-April: has been fixed.



How can I find out which house Saturn is in for my sign? (I'm an Aquarian.) Thank you.

Lynnette
--- Friday, April 4, 2003 at 19:24 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: A planet is not in a house 'for a sign'. Your Sun Sign Aquarius has nothing at all to do with the placement of Saturn in your birth chart.

In which sign of the zodiac Saturn was depends on the date of your birth - Saturn takes 29 years to make a full circle through all 12 signs.

In which house of your birth chart Saturn is depends on your birth place and birth time - within 24 hours the celestial sphere makes one complete rotation, so that Saturn comes into all 12 houses in the course of one day.

To find out, have a look at your chart drawing or - simpler - at AstroClick Portrait. Look in which house the Saturn symbol is located. If you can't read the symbols, just click on all the planets in AstroClick Portrait and read the text in the pop-up box which appears with an interpretation. It will tell you what planet you clicked and what sign and house it is in.



Thank you for your tremendous service through Astro.com. One consideration please.
I am used to the Indian / Sri Lankan horroscopes where the Ayanamsa correction is applied to the signs, effectively giving a rotation of all sign by approx 23 degrees, when placing objects (sun moon ascendent etc.,)
Please consider giving your users the opportunity to request Ayanamsa correction when Astro.com calculates the astro chart. Perhaps an option box in the astro data panel would be the best.
I find your experts' analysis is more correct after ayanamsa corection is applied to the signs than the charts without the correction.

Alois adds: Please see extended chart selection -> choose Zodiac -> choice of Fagan Bradley or Hindu/Lahiri ayanamsa. We do not recommend these options however, because Astrodienst is clearly a website for western tropical astrology. For calculations we allow these sidereal choices, but not for interpretation services. Our authors have had western astrology in mind when they put down their thoughts in writing.



Dear Alois,

Thank you for your clear and helpful explanation of the difference between the corrected and uncorrected Davison Relationship Chart. Doing the Iraq War chart for the coordinates half way between Washington Baghdad is an experiment. It's not as dramatic as the chart in Baghdad, but the grand air trine's Moon is right on the MC and edge-of-out-of-bounds Mars is parallel the Ascendant with an orb of 1 minute of arc, if the 9:35 PM EST time is right.

Thanks again,
Min

Min Wilson
Boston, US --- Friday, April 4, 2003 at 01:50 Universal Time (UT/GMT)

Alois adds: There are more technical questions involved with Davison charts than meets the eye. The 'halfway coordinates' between Washington and Bagdad are an artefact. The common practice is - and we follow it - to do the midpoint in longitude and in latitude separately. For example, Washington DC is at 77w02 longitude, 38n54 latitude. Bagdad is at 44e25 long. and 33n21 latitude. The midpoint in longitude is computed as 16w18, in latitude as 36n07.

The REAL midpoint between both cities is however different: one has to draw a shortest line (great circle) on the globe between the two cities, and disect that in the middle. The problem is, that, for transatlatic or transpacific pairs, such a shortest great circle line often leads through the north polar area, and the midpoint falls somewhere in the polar region. Then you are in trouble: normal house systems don't work there, the polar area charts turn out really odd.

For your pair of locations, the great circle midpoint is 12w41, 56n07, i.e. not in the polar area. If you tried a city further west than Wa.DC, e.g. Portland, Oregon with Bagdad, however, you would get a latitude of 80n11, in the polar circle.

We have experimented with 'great circle midpoint Davison charts'. We decided not to use them, but to stick with the 'dummy midpoints' as the default because they are in common use. From a theoretical point of view, the great circle midpoint makes more sense. For births within the same country the difference is usually very small. For couples on opposite sides of the globe the difference can be huge.

You can set the Davison midpoint calculation to 'calculation mode = great circle midpoint' by a secret option: Call up the display of the Davison chart, then append to the URL you see in your browser this:
&stx2=cm=g
and press ENTER. In the 'chart type' field below the Astrodienst label you should see cm=g appear, as an indication of that special calculation mode.

Dear Alois,
I have been visiting your web-site for almost one year now and I would like to write a feedback to you:

Basically, through your site and Liz Greene, Howard Sasportas books I was able to answer all questions regarding my life and life of my friends so far I was unable to solve and answer for many years. I would like to thank you for such a brilliant service. In a certain sense of view you made ma life much more conscious.

Regarding the computer readings: I find the Psychological Horospcope Analysis very heplful with one exception: in my case it describes the person it used to be when I was 20, but is is OK, it is probably not possible to include all the changes the person went through.

The Relationship Horoscope is tremendous, brilliant, excellent. Unbelievably correct. Thank you for this, you have helped me very much.

The only slight dissapointment: Career and Vocation. There I have an opposite and different opinon. Maybe this describes motives, which are somewhere deep inside but doesn´t relly show you the reality or better to say: possible reality. I think that this is very difficult to estimate.

All in all - you are really the best in the world according to my opinion and I will continue to visit your web site.

Best luck for the future !

Alois adds: Thank you for the feedback.

Regarding the Psychological Horoscope Analysis: your comment is very reasonable, I have the same problem that it describes me very well at an earlier age of my life, and less now, twenty years later.

This is an intrinsic problem of all natal astrology. The natal horoscope describes potentials, but not what you make of them. These are fundamental limits of a blind reading - where only the birth data are known, but no other information about a person is available. We cannot know what a person has made out of her potential. Some people develop, some remain less developed. A lot of that is their free choice, or detemermined by non-astrological life circumstances.

In a personal meeting with an astrologer, it would be easily possible to - even visually - see that, as soon as a client comes into the room, but we don't know it in the remote kind of computerized reading we provide. Even with these limitations, the Psychological Horoscope is still a very valuable tool for understanding yourself or another person.



How do you remove someone from the list of personal horoscopes? If you erase their name, under the 'edit data' screen, it just says you need to enter the right data. Is the only way to erase someone, putting someone else's data in over it??! Thanks!

I'm trying to do a Davison Relationship Chart between the time the war started, in Washington, and the time it started in Baghdad. It should be a chart for the same Universal Time, but at the halfway coordinates. But when I merge the two charts, each of which has the same Universal Time (2:35 3/20/03), I get a different Universal Time (2:25:51 3/20/03) for the Relationship Chart. Is this a glitch in the program, or a principle that can be explained?

Thanks for your great website!

Alois adds: There are two choice for davison relationship chart in the selection list:
Davison relationship chart
Davison relationship chart uncorrected

If you choose the second option, you get 2:35 UT.

Personally, I think there is little point in using the technique for two events happening at the same time.

You will wonder what the 'correction technique' is, which is commonly used in Europe: If you do a composite chart, you will find that the MC is 18°49. The corrected Davison chart has exacly the same MC - this is what the correction does. The uncorrected one has a close, but slightly different MC. We just follow common practice, by making the corrected one the default. [The corrected MC can be in the same sign or the opposite sign of the composite MC, but always at the same degree].



Alois, thank you for your most gracious answer. I realize it was all a bit personal and I apologize to the forum if I have annoyed anyone with the long insertion I left.

Alois,
Please refer to my initial question to you, sent March 23. The following is the follow up research you suggested I do. Regarding the 3 year period of difficulty - my friend indicated this has to do with Uranus crossing over in a square aspect to a particular house - and it usually takes a 3 year period as Uranus is a slow moving planet. Does this ring at all true to you? He also says that based on the house it occurs in determines the area of your life it affects (this makes sense to me) Uranus is the planet of revolutions, the smasher and destroyer of the status quo and so it may seem negative but can also be positive.
I'm wondering if the above does have merit, are you able to tell me if I am in the midst of my '3 year' period - as I am having lots of change - particularly career wise - in the past year. Also, I know that love can find you at any time regardless of an astrology chart, but I'm curious if there is an indication in a chart or in the planetary transits that makes one more receptive to a love relationship?
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you.
Alex

Hallo Astroteam,
ich bin eine treue Leserin eurer Gratishoroskope und beschäftige mich intensiv mit dem meinen. Allerdings bin ich mehr an den langfristigen Transiten interessiert. Deshalb ist meine Frage,ob Ihr vielleicht auch eine Transittabelle in euer Gratis-Programm aufnehmen könnt (wie das z.B. AstroConnect anbietet). Auch eine Monatsvorschau für die Sternzeichen fände ich sehr gut. Vielleicht nehmt Ihr meine Anregung auf, das würde mich sehr freuen.

Alois adds: Ich kann populäre Dinge wie 'Monatshoroskop für Sternzeichen' nur als recht fragwürdige Trivialastrologie betrachten, die auf unserer Website keinen Platz hat. Die ganze Sternzeichenastrologie wurde von den Printmedien erfunden, da dort es ja unmöglich ist, ein individuell erstelltes Horoskop für jede Leserin zu bieten, auf Basis persönlicher Geburtsdaten. Inhaltlich sind aber Sternzeichenhoroskope nahezu wertlos, nur vom Unterhaltungswert her interessant, und vielleicht auch deshalb, weil sie gelegentlich jemanden zur echten Astrologie hinführen können.

Mit dem Medium Internet ist es hingegen - bei entsprechendem technischen Knowhow des Websitebetreibers, und entsprechender inhaltlicher Kompetenz - möglich, jedem sein perönliches Horoskop auf Basis der perönlichen Daten zu bieten. Daneben haben einfach Sternzeichenhoroskope kaum noch einen Platz.

Ich weiss nicht genau, was Sie unter einer Transittabelle verstehen. Komplette Ephemeriden für 3200 Jahre in schöner tabellarischer Form finden Sie auf unserer Homepage, linke Spalte unten.

Die mundanen Aspekte (zwischen den laufenden Planeten) finden Sie ebenfalls dort via die (A)-Links.

( July 24th 1967 - 17:55 Rome, Italy)

Hello Alois,

I have seen a couple of people mentioning that they are going through a bad phase, or that there is a bad phase of 2 to 3 years in everyone's lifes at some point.

I am living it now... I have ordered the yearly horoscope at my last birthday and when I saw it (I am the corageous type) I thought well how bad can this be? It is terrible and it should last till November 2005. I am hoping next year will start feeling a little better already, But I have not wanted to jump ahead and order the next year analysis prior to dealing with this one... Its been very hard to resist but I believe that it is important to try and live in the now and confront each present issue however painful that might be.

What I did do was get the Psychological Analysis (it arrived today). It actually points to the emotional crisis, loss and seperation I am now experiencing very clearly. It goes on with how this will open the door to ... hidden motives, psychological inheritance and fate... I am dealing with just that now too and it is very lonely because lets just say that my reality is stranger than fiction.

Yes, I do have a question here. I am not the slit my wrist type, but I think I am going to need some form of support if this is to get any worse than it already is... I would appreciate if you could let me know so that I can plan ahead a little.

I do plenty of self therapy (meditation, a lot of free flow imagry) but because of the delicate nature of the mondane circumstances involved I cannot see myself going to a psychotherapist and telling them exactly what is going on in my life. I am suffering inside but my problems are quite tangible and real... Do you have any suggestions on how to get through this all? I know you say ... Each difficulty has more than one side, and there is always a positive, strengthening element in it. and I promise you I am trying very hard to see it this way but it is so much to handle!

Someone lately told me the story of Jobe and how he lost his family, loved one and money, and then spent the next two or three years very angry with God. Then it seems he was rewarded for his patience... Do I get a happy ending at the end of this struggle or do I wind up just having lost all belief in the existence of a positive God?...

I know I am asking a lot but is there a chat room for people with bad year stroke? Or something like it? HELP! :) ...still trying to grin through it...
