Hallo, gerade habe ich in meinem Astroprogramm die Daten für den 31.05.79 um 2:31 eingegeben. Ganz eindeutig ist diese Person eine Sonne in Stier mit Widder AC und Mond in Fische in 12. Ihre Website arbeitet mit anderen Ephemeriden? Ihre Angabe lautet, dass diese Person mit oben genannten Daten eine Zwillinge Sonne mit Stier AC und Mond in Löwe wäre... Ich bitte um ein Feedback ihrer Genauigkeit.
Herzlich,

If you would so state your birthday, time and place, I would be curious myself to see your chart. Other triple Geminis include Steffi Graf, Queen Victoria, and Omar Khayyam although he was born 1000 years ago and birth data that old may be questionable. (data given by Swami Govinda Thirtha). Also someone named John Budge. My computer database has 2097 charts but only these 4 are triple Gemini.

Michael Hall - Detailed questions about your chart are not usually answered here, but there are many horoscopes you can purchase for modest amounts. I’m not sure what you mean by a pure type. If your Sun, Moon, and Ascendant are in fact in Gemini (i.e., no mistake in your calculations) then you are certainly strong in Gemini. This can be a two-edged sword. You can be so strong in one thing you get sort of overwhelmed by those traits and there is less room for their balancing traits. With that much Gemini I would look for stability from Saturn because Gemini tends to flit around. Hermes is youthful, agile, clever, sometimes naughty, somewhat amoral which are his strengths but also his weakness. The first thing he does after birth is steal Apollo’s (his brother) cattle. Then he disguises his tracks by walking backwards so his footsteps appear to come from the wrong direction. When asked about it he lies. There is probably no better friend to Hermes than the old man or senex, Saturn to balance him with maturity and wisdom. Without Saturn to help him it may be difficult for you to finish things. At the same time your mind is probably very agile. Hermes is certainly a god that you resonate with. You might want to read about him in the myths. The condition of Mercury, ruler of Gemini provides further description of you. As a triple Gemini, Mercury in Taurus would be very different than Mercury in Cancer. So where is Mercury? He may actually be in Gemini and Mercury would then be Sole Dispositor in your chart. Does Mercury rise immediately before the Sun? If not which planet does? Is he retrograde? Direct? Other considerations are the houses occupied by Sun and Moon and Mercury. Are Sun and Moon in 1st, 12th, split between 1st and 12th and if split, how ? Is there actually a conjunction between Sun and Moon and how close is it to exact. Are either or both or neither luminary conjunct the Ascendant? Is the Moon in the last few degrees of the preceding cycle which some authors describe as kind of a 12th house-like, mystical position. Or in the first few degrees of the new cycle? What are the other aspects to the Sun and Moon and what are the aspects to Mercury? What is the balance of quadratures and elements in your chart beyond your obvious strength in mutable air. Consider spending the 50 dollars and getting Liz Greene’s Psychological Horoscope from this site. She will give you the result of many of these considerations without calling out the planetary positions. That horoscope (all of hers actually) is assembled using an Expert System which is a 5th generation computer system using artificial intelligence. It is probably the most advanced computer chart you can get anywhere. An expert system approaches a problem the way a human brain does. So the rules followed in the analysis and synthesis are the same rules Liz would use in a live reading. It is much more than a simple itemization of your various planetary positions which is all other computer programs can give you. An expert system synthesizes the results into a kind of story or picture. I am not connected with this site in any way but I have gotten several of Liz’ horoscopes and I cannot recommend them enough. It is well worth you investment in self-knowledge.

My sun sign is gemini, my ascendant is gemini, and my placement of the moon is in gemini. Does this mean I am a pure type? Can you inform me about pure types? Thankyou for a great site.
Michael H a l l
This site is extraordinary. If only I'd taken more of my forecast really seriously in recent months, I'd surely have avoided much heartache. PLEASE tell me: Is there any way to get a copy of my prior free forecasts, for mid 2003--mid 2005? I would like to see what was predicted which led up to the current situations. Any help would be greatly appreciated--thank you!

Astrodienst is pure genius. I have used it constantly when I am away from my own software and have been following you from inception. Your choice of astrologers, the website layout, and generosity of spirit are unparalleled. I wish that www.iching.com had expanded with the same spirit you did: sans blatant commercialism. Congratulations and best wishes!

The sun sign partnership comparison is excellent. Also, it is excellent that it exists, as I have neglected the sun sign in my studies of astrology. Read http://www.sociopathconfrontation.com/.
Widar Alexander J a e n s c h [ radiv/vidarajensen ät gmail/com ]
Hello, many, many years ago, before the time of the internet, my sister order as a present for me a psychological horoscope analysis from you. It came in the form of a book, with 6 parts and about 22 pages. When reading the personalized horosccope, I was amazed. I couldn't believe it, it was like looking into a mirror. A lot of what I was reading indeed related to me. Therefore, when I was reading stuff that I never realized about myself and that wasn't so good, I wanted to look away. To this day, once in a while, I pull it out and read parts of it again. It is still amazing to me.
Now, I am thinking to get such a horoscope for my son's 30th birthday which
is still a couple of years away. I saw the Personal Horoscope by Liz Greene,
18-25 Pages A4 US 46.95. It sounds like this comes the closest to what I
received from my sister. Am I right? What info in regard to my son do I need
to provide?
Anneliese D e s s a r t
YOU GUYS ROCK! This is the best free online astrology site on the net. I have used this site countless times, the ephemeris is especially helpful when I'm trying to access info away from home. Thank you all for all you do - it is appreciated!
Marcia K a t z
I have been actively studying astrology as an avocation for the last 8 years. My birthdate is in June for Illinois. I have been adjusting the birthtime ahead one hour for daylight savings time in 1952. Am I correct in doing so?

This is a footnote to Hand's Towards a Post Modern Astrology. Early English Books Online is for educational and library institutions. There is a free trial but they say they rarely offer this to individuals.
Bill
can you explain the effect of the eastpoint in the birth chart? thanks!
Misty L e e Alois adds: It is considered similar to the Ascendant. For further information, please ask Google. Dear Green Co You're by far the the most comprehensive and insightful astro service available. Thanks for your fine generosity in passing it along freely. It must come back to you four-fold. The inclusion of the Sabian Symbols and the drawings are uniquely suited to my Neptunian overview, and contribute to throwing a lovely net of abstraction into the works. I wonder if the Swiss know you're a National Treasure.

Dear Astro, I haven't visited you for quite some time, and I want to tell you how pleasing the new additions are. I signed up immediately! Just for fun, I did a free composite of me and my husband of 43 years. It's a good thing I didn't have this chart analysis back in 1963! We are still crazy about each other. We met on a blind date and were married within 6 weeks! I would love to share this data with anyone, if that is permissable. Let me know how I can make the chart available for others. Thank you Sygna

I have searched this site and CPA's and not found a way to contact Liz Greene, so I assume she does not do personal readings. Am I correct in this assumption? I have ordered many of her computer readings from Astrodienst in the past couple of years and I have most of her books. All of these are priceless to me as lessons in astrology... but mostly as lessons in myself. But I would love to have a more personal session with her at this time in my life . She is really the only person whose advice I would trust . Is it possible to contact her?
Terri M.
I found the relationship horoscopes to be very insightful. I actually purchased two, with different potential partners, and some of the info was the same in both--probably because I was the common denominator and both potential partners are the same Sun sign and close in age. I would have appreciated more information on exactly what aspects of the composite and individual charts related to the different parts of the analysis, however, so that I could determine whether certain conditions will be present in my relationships regardless of partner. But I am happy to have purchased them.

To LB of London: I'm not using that date and time to make the chart work - astrology certainly shouldn't work that way, though a lot of people do it. It's just that I was never aware that the British Mandate expired at midnight on May 15, and that the Israeli proclamation of independence acknowledged that, as of midnight on that date, the state of Israel would come into official existence. So it seemed logical to try a chart set for that time, rather than for the time of Ben Gurion's speech. I was just amazed by how it came out. It seems very apt.
Pamela Y o u n g
I only have the date and place of birth for someone, not the time. Is there any way of getting a horoscope without the actual houses, ascendent etc for that date at that place to give some indication of the planet placement in the different signs?
Clarissa H e n r y Alois adds: Just set the hour field on data entry to 'unknown' You will be able to call up most types of chart drawings, but no interpretations, because most of our interpretations include information on the Ascendant and the houses. Why would you use midnight of May 15 for Israel? to make the 'chart' work - surely astrology does not work like that?
LB
I always forget not to use semi-colons when writing to you guys, because they are just left out. Hope my last post is still comprehensible, anyway.
Pamela Y o u n g
Okay, Alois. Nice metaphor, comparing the birth chart to inherited genetic traits I take your point. By the way, I see that Israel is not listed amongst your country charts, perhaps because there has been confusion about the exact time of the founding of the state. I just recently learned that actually, there has never been any need for confusion about it, because the British Mandate of Palestine expired at midnight on May 15, 1948. Ben Gurion acknowledged this fact in his proclamation of independence, begun at 4:00 p.m. on May 14, 1948, which is usually taken as the birth time of Israel. But if you take midnight of May 15 as the birth time, this gives Israel an Ascendant of 14 ' Aquarius and an MC of 29' Scorpio the Descendant is flanked by Moon and Pluto in Leo in the sixth house, and Saturn and Mars in Leo in the seventh. In fact, the Descendant itself is the midpoint of Saturn-Pluto. Chiron and the South Node are in the ninth house, while the North Node and the Sun are in the third (the Sun is six degrees away from the IC). Look at the current transits to this chart!
Pamela Y o u n g
Hi Alois - Thanks for your reply to my question about changing the location from the birthplace for a yearly horoscope report. I just thought, with astrolocality in mind, that perhaps the descriptions of the transits and progressions to the relocated Ascendant and MC might be more accurate than for the birthplace. Did I imagine it, or did you say some time back that you were going to come out with an Astrolocality report?
Pamela Y o u n g Alois adds: You cannot introduce astrolocality by faking the birth place. I see the natal chart rather like inherited genetic traits. If you are born as an English person, you do not become a Chinese by moving to Shanghai. Rather, such a move may even bring out your englishness more pronounced. Please, never fake a birth place. To Ken and Antonio - what beautiful souls you have - was so caught up in the moment that I only wanted a quick answer. Spiritualism had escaped me. Thank you for your help and input - much appreciated.
Edna B r i s s o n
Dear Edna - From the data you gave I was unable to erect your uncle’s chart with any precision or certainty. With15 Virgo rising, Mars (currently at 29 Leo and moves into Virgo today) will not conjunct his Ascendant until Aug 15th although the effect of that conjunction will begin to be felt before the aspect reaches exactness. A different way to think of this than “which planet will win out” would be that all the indications must be taken into consideration simultaneously. The gods did not cancel out the effect of other gods in the myths. Each continued to have its say. So when Tireseus supports Zeus position in a wager with his wife, Hera, and validates that women receive more pleasure than men during the sexual act, Hera, in anger, blinds him. Zeus is not able to overturn her action even though he is the King but he gives Tireseus the gift of prophecy (second sight). I would never presume to predict the future. So many variables are at work. In math you are required to have as many equations as variables in order to solve for the unknown. Two variables require two equations 10 variables require 10 equations. It gets complicated quickly. Currently in medicine we are not even aware of all the variables let alone understand the equations of how they inter-relate. Medicine is more an art than a science. More scientific types think prayer merely comforts us because of our own beliefs. Other doctors allow that prayer may actually be a factor, even though not measurable in the lab. It is a mystery. What else can you do at this time except to be at his side and comfort your friend. If you are so inclined please pray.
In the name of God,

To Kent or anyone who cares to help me - Right now I have a very dear friend and uncle who has had a clot removed from his brain and has all his senses except is unable to breathe on his own. I am quite concerned and don't dare analyse his transits as I am sort of paralyzed at the thought of losing him. He was born Oct. 23/28 - Asc. 15 degrees virgo - Mars sextile his sun - Chiron Square Chiron - Mars. conj. his Asc. and Mercury in transit in the 10th. Which planet will win out? I am so distraught my heart aches without stopping. Can you help.
Edna B r i s s o n
Hi Alois - I'm just wondering about ordering Liz Greene's yearly horoscope report for a person who died far away from their birthplace. If someone was born in the state of Washington (USA) and died in Gaza at 23, should you order the report for the year of their death for their birthplace, or for the location where they died?
Thanks,
Pamela Y o u n g Alois adds: You should always and ever only use the birth place, for all kinds of charts and reports. hellow !! a question: why dont you give efemeris for 2003 EL61 and 2005 FY 9 ?? they are the same size than ORCUS, thus they are much bigger than others that you include ........ !! thankyou..........
Antonio A l m a z a n Alois adds: They have been added now, see here In Free Horoscopes -> Extended chart selection, they can be added with asteroid numbers 999002 and 999003. I was amazed by how accurate most of the readings were!! I couldn't stop myself from writing a feedback now even before i have purchase any readings from the website. I definitely am going to purchase a full length report very soon. I have been into astrology for as long as i could remember. This is no doubt one of the first most accurate reports i have read online. Thank you.

Dear Alois: Thanks for the info on the Long Term horoscope.

Hi. I'm finding a lot of help in astrodienst for researching time zones and daylight savings settings. I would like to ask astrodienst if you have a horoscope for the country of Belgium? If so, please let me know. Dirk
Dirk V a n d e r d o n c k t Alois adds: Yes, among the country charts I looked on this site to Clare Martin for a definition of Jung's individuation as ‘deliberately working against the natural order of things’ - see - http://www.astro.com/mtp/mtp0_e.htm This reminded me of the moon phases as indicators of personal development. -see- http://www.yeatsvision.com/ The moon phases are very complex, but do contain the themes of individuation. I now prefer the term identity for the planets up to and including Saturn. We are in touch with these planets when intimate with them. The psychological process of the moon can help one cope, but the expression of, for example, Venus, varies from music to art to love making, yet is identifiable as an intimate sense of self actualization. The outer planets are collective and are not self referent. Identity as I use it comes from Erikson.
Bill
Your atlas appears to be wrong for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It lists longitude as 79 but every other source I found was 75. Please investigate and fix! =D thanks
Amy Alois adds: You are right, and we fixed it. Bill: Unsure of how to interpret your email addy I am replying here, with Alois' permission. For me Carl Jung and those who interpret him, especially Joseph Campbell and James Hillman shine a light into the regions of the collective unconscious to which we each remain connected. The stories that live in that storehouse and which we all access in our dreams inform us about our universe, our humanness and our ancient inheritance. To me those myths underlie and explain the astrological placements as well as the psychological principles that drive us. The New Testament, to me, is Western civilization’s primary collectively agreed upon myth of our current age. And the Church has gone to great extent to banish all the other stories as heresy. But there is so much more down there in our collective memory than the story of Jesus. Giants, witches, wounded Kings, enchanting maidens, warriors, knights on quest, elves, magicians, and mythical animals still live in the collective unconscious and our imaginations. Persephone and Hades still play out their drama. Just ask anyone with Venus in aspect to Pluto. The myths are eternal because they still make true statements about our human condition. Hermes remains eternally young and clever and will guide you through the underworld of the unconscious with his language and understanding. Venus continues to be beautiful and vain and falls in love. Eros flies away from Psyche and Apollo makes his music as does his offspring: Orpheus. For me the New Testament and its stories of apocalypse are not to be taken literally anymore than Perseus, Medusa, the Cracken and Andromeda. To interpret the New Testament literally is, as Campbell says, to try to eat the menu instead of the meal to which it refers. It is to mistake the metaphor for it’s reference.
Kent T o l l e y
Kent: You're right. I include my e mail so we can discuss it futher. Hand's article on this site, Post Modern Astrology, does not mention Jung when he mentions self actualization, consciounsness, and so on. Yet Jung could have a synthetic, healing role in the post modern / tradition debate. Something else interesting... Sokals dated his Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity Nov 28 1994, time of a Jup/Mer/Plu conjunction in Scorpio. This is a good example of individation meeting with the collective, because it made a collective impact of importance. The parody if nothing else will make post modernists work harder at ethics and truth, and hopefully do the same for post modern astrologers. Hand deplores : the inarticulate nature of much modern 20th century astrological language. This must change! he says. Thanks - - -

P.S. The Long-term horoscope I now own goes through 2006
LEW35
My question is to Alois: I am interested in the Long-term horoscope, but notice the sample starts with the year 2005, which is long gone, while 2006 is more than half gone. If I order the Long-term horoscope now, what year will it start with?
LEW35 Alois adds: If you go into the ordering step, you will see the selection of start years offered. It reaches up to 2017, i.e. the latest available report will cover 2017 - 2022. Dear Alois I have noticed that you have the Cayman Islands 4 hours behind universal time in keeping with American Eastern daylight savings. We have never adopted daylight savings in the Cayman Islands and remain on Eastern Standard Time throughout the year.
Katyryna J e n k i n s o n [ iknej/jenkinsonkate ât hotmail/com ] Alois adds: It seems that you are right. We have now corrected the timezone database. We have fixed the 49 natal data sets ( out of 8.4 mill ) with wrong timezone info in the database of stored natal records. Thank you for pointing out the error. Apocalypse itself is a metaphor. I think the great spiritual teachers did not intend you to take it literally.
Kent T o l l e y
I dont know if the world will be destroyed mid millenium or not. I'm reminded of a man I listened to on Hawaii cable TV. He said that the Buddhist and Christian churches were not going out to visit and help the homeless Hawaiians, now forced to live on the beach, under duress and with little help. No food, comfort. This was, the churches say, because the world is going to end. So why not just wait patiently? All this man was saying is that the church people could go see for themselves, visit, bring some food. We can be blinded to ourselves by the powerful collective Neptune, Pluto, Uranus. Apocalyptic visions and so on. In us are sensual Venus and clever Mercury, etc. And hopefully benevolent Jupiter for the sake of the poor Hawaiians over there.
Bill [ brrac/carrb005 ét hawaii/rr/com ]
I subscribe to the daily horoscope. I wish there was a way to do a search for transits coming up instead of reading through all and entering future dates. For example: if there was a search box I could type in Venus and it would show all the Venus transits that would be coming up in the time frame requested for that particular individual.
Judi P e r s i n g e r
Love the new addition of the active dates with the aspects in the daily horoscope! great work.
Anita V Alois adds: Thanks! The info was there since about two years, but in the past it was necessary to keep the mouse pointer several seconds over the text before the info text would appear. What we have introduced recently was some javascript code which makes all such 'tool tip' text elements appear immediately when the mouse goes over it. Cameron Garth Miller - The late Joseph Campbell who taught comparative religion and studied the gods and their stories as well as studying Jungian psychology (he edited “The Portable Jung”, Penguin Books) used to warn against confusing the metaphor with it’s reference. He likens mistaking a metaphor for its reference to eating a menu instead of the meal. The gods are not necessarily physical beings but rather metaphors for ancient and archetypal human tendencies, hungers, drives, and needs. Early peoples may have thought of them as literal realities but in modern times we understand them in a more psychological way. The fact that they are not literal realities does not diminish their relevance or their influence in our lives. From Joseph Campbell in a conversation with Bill Moyers: “Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth century B.C. All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within us. They are magnified dreams, and dreams are manifestations in image form of the energies of the body in conflict with each other. That is what myth is. Myth is a manifestation in symbolic images, in metaphorical images, of the energies of the organs of the body in conflict with each other.”
From Carl Jung: Jung taught us that the gods didn’t die, they became psychological complexes, neuroses.

I have been studying transits for over 20 years . This sight is quite amazing . Madness but I think I have cracked it . Im a Gemini and need proof , although it has always seemed proven , I have often wondered if the phenomena i am feeling isnt just an ancient form of psychology or an amazing language trick . Although I have probably sent myself mad observing the ups and downs of the transit energy and experimenting with the signifigance of the signs , what I have observed is this . We are just vehicles for DNA,s ultimate journey and colonisation of deep space . We are in the age of Pices . The last age . This earth should be destroyed by 2500 AD if not earlier . The Horoscope is the DNA of personality . Our personalities create destiny aswell as conflict . The Gods ( there are many of them and they are as emotional as us ) are in conflict . This is some type of super arcade game and what we think of as physical matter is really like the pixels of a 3D Graphics program . We are Toys and some of us are special . Some of us are tortured . Some of us are insignificant . Its important to understand your personal destiny and to accept it and be motivated by it . The Squares and oppositions in your chart will point you in the correct direction . Breeding is important also . They need very brainy, creative , imaginative and capable stock , intergalactic travel requires this , so after the flu in a few years , when the gene pool has been re-ordered ( much like what 2 world wars did last century ) we can once again take giant leaps in faith and technology without being dragged down by the confused and un-educatable mass who insist on wasting our human talents on war making and banal entertainments. I urge all of you to think of these things . On a silly note I have found that you can do really weird stuff like gamble on horses and dogs using the moon transits against uranus and venus by simply asking a cancerian for a number between 1 and 6 in the betting shop but I should warn you that they ( the gods) play with you , so if you get greedy or your destiny is simply to be poor and hard working( you must understand that hardship creates opportunities and ultimatley results) then they tend to stop you in your tracks . If your a parent I would also really encourage your children to be creative ( think of things) and to also apply themselves to understanding Space , Physics and engineering . This DNA you have bred will really matter to them ( the gods) . Good luck . I hope this has been useful and please also remain aware of Karmic Law (saturn) and the peaceful beauty of Jesus and his unconditional love (jupiter) . butterfly the astrologer .

Gussie: Sorry to hear about your family. I did a quick search, and Alzheimers was mentioned in the feedback. It was a poem, appropriately. Liz Greene somewhere wrote about Hera and the powers she gave Zeus, but she kept the mystery of death and the wind. Some things just are mysteries. Meantimes have you looked at their charts as personality portraits, or in relationship to each other and to you? Things like that can be interesting. I think you can always discover something new about relationships, even with those who have passed.

was trying to do a relocation chart for Capetown SOuth AFrica - alas your search only gave me Capetwon California as an option - how do I get it to recognise Capetown, Capital of South Africa?

About Zidanes, etc. I think the salient feature of the notorious moment was that it was done out of sight of the referees, so he thought... He had sized them up and thought he could get away with it. This maybe was so, if it was a replay that brought it to the attention of the referees. The moon (public) out of personal aspect in Capricorn, Zidanes was unaware of being watched by a larger body. The camera caught him by accident. Pluto is impersonal and collective. To say Zidanes was compelled by Pluto to his self destruction is like trying to fit a novel into a newspaper. The discussion about compulsions is surely more Saturnine.

Hello
Is the new 'planet' 2003 EL61 the same as your Santa (22161) in the minor
planet names list?(http://www.astro.com/swisseph/astlist.htm)
Kris D e r b o v e n [ sirk/kris/derboven ét gmail/com ] Alois adds: No, it is not. The minor planet 'Santa' has number 1288, and has been discover in 1933. The number 22161 belongs to 'Santagata' which is 'Sant Agata'. 2003 EL61 has not been numbered yet, as far as I know. Thanks for the great website. I just tried to pull up a chart for someone born in the Phillipines but when I entered Manilla or Tondo (his hometown) it repeatedly reverted it back to Nambia or Australia. I cannot seem to connect this person with the correct city or town in the Phillipines. What am I doing wrong or is there a glitch in the system? Would really appreciate feedback for this. Thanks in advance.

My partner and I use Michelson's Koch book of tables for calculating house cusps. In the calculations for the charts that we've done on this website (using the Koch option) we found that the ascendant/other cusps are different than what appear in Michelson's tables of houses. Can you explain? It appears that intercepted signs may not occur using your Koch data base. Is this the case? Thanks.
puzzled Alois adds: Of course we cannot know what you did. The only thing we can be sure of is that you made errors, as your result is wrong. I've been observing Astrology for the past 25 years and I am in no sense of the word an expert. However I do see the validity over and over again. I see Astrology as Observational Science, even though many would disagree with me. So many great discoveries start from observation. Without a doubt I feel someday Science will catch up to Astrology. Maybe when we can identify and understand the energies of planetary influences. Maybe it will be quantum physics or string theory or something else yet unknown. I just know it’s scientific and will eventually be within our realm of understanding . Considering what we have accomplished so far in Astrology it really is very amazing when you take into account that it is subject to one’s own bias’s and filters. Alois, you stated Maximizing sales is not a major goal of our operation. which I understand. At the same time I am hoping that one of your major goals is to further promote the acceptance and understanding of Astrology. I think most here would agree that if this site did not survive it would be a great loss. The amount of collective insight and wisdom provided by your staff of astrologers can only be summed up in one word, Priceless! A couple years ago I came up with an idea that I feel would tremendously increase public awareness and acceptance of Astrology. I haven’t found any that I feel are competent or capable enough to accomplish it, except for Astrodienst. I don’t want to divulge this publicly for obvious reasons, so I am asking if you would give me a private email address that I could then submit my ideas too. I understand Astrodienst has it’s own agenda but I also hope you are open to ideas. No matter what happens I would like to thank Astrodienst for your contribution thus far. Keep up the good work.

Tenho uma dúvida constante: nasci em horário de verão, então dependendo do sistema q elabora o meu mapa, Urano se afasta do ascendente a ponto de não estar na cúspide, enquanto Júpiter se aproxima do MC e faz conjunçao. As duas coisas são reais em mim: sinto um mundo de emoções, mas falo e ajo muitas vezes como Ariana (e penso assim práticamente), mas sopu pisciana e meu ascendente é cancer. O que faz essa diferença de cálculo? Thanks a lot. I am very happy to have discoverered this site and finally be able to understand this dicotomy of my soul.

hi, my question is about the difference between sidereal and tropical time. i was told that charts drawn in tropical time are off by 23 degrees. now i'm confused.
Andrew H e e r m a n s Alois adds: There exists no such thing as 'tropical time'. There is a tropical zodiac, and a sidereal zodiac, and you find more information about that in the section 'Understanding Astrology' Precession and Zodiac The term 'sidereal time' exists and has nothing to do with the 'sidereal zodiac'. It is a synonym for 'rectascensio coeli', the longitude coordinate of the equatorial coordinate system, measured from the tropical vernal equinox as all sensible astronomical coordinate systems. Hediger on Zidanes (translated by worldlingo.com) is very interesting: social / symbolic, personal / world stage, child / mother, self / society. Great proof that we are free to use astrology to interpret events in depth. How do you translate Plutonische Selbstzerstörungsgelüste? What time did the incident occur? Where was the moon, in particular? Thanks in advance
Bill Alois adds: Plutonic lusting for self destruction. The incident occurred in the 110th minute of the game, which will make it about 22:20 CEDT, or 20:20 GMT on 9 July, in Berlin (plus minus 5 minutes). Looking at my daily horoscope today, I see what looks to me like an illustration of a drowning rat, plus a title which doesn't exist in Robert Hand's excellent book on transits, and which doesn't seem to me to represent well the actual text of the transit, which is incomplete. On occasion, I've found that the most critical parts of Mr. Hand's texts have been edited outline. Could you please drop the illustrations and titles, and include the full text from the book?
John W i l l i a m s Alois adds: I recommend that you simply look up your transits somewhere, and then read the book of your preference for the interpretation. This will not distract you with illustrations, headlines, anything. I love this site - just renewed my annual membership : ) One thing I can not seem to find is the aspect (or glyph) for Sun/Moon Midpoint. Any chance of adding (or directing me to) this aspect? All the best!
Maire Alois adds: Thanks for the feedback. Please go to: Free Horoscope -> extended chart selection -> chnage chart style to 'Ebertin', view chart -> select 'additional data tables' (link at top right of chart) -> you find listings of all midpoints. An alternative: Look in any chart drawing where Sun and Moon are, and find the middle position on the zodiac between those two. That is their midpoint. As a professor of mathematics and statistics, I find that the politicallly correct term for sex is gender. It has been my contention for years that sex has nothing to do with gender.

In natal charts of myself and someone else we both have Part of Fortune in exact opposition to the other persons North Node. I have read about this linking to a past life which I am entirely sure of with this individual but I was wondering if you could elaborate on what this aspect means.

Dear Astrodienst: First, thank you for such a wonderful site. It's the best site for birth charts I have found on the internet. I've been working on charts for hurricanes lately. Florida's Hurricane Charlie in 2004 made its first landfall in Dry Tortugas, Florida (24.2 N / 82.9 W) or (24 deg 24' N / 82 deg 54' W). I didn't find this location in your database. This was a bit of a surprise since I've done about 300 charts so far and I hadn't come up empty. :) Could you please add Dry Tortugas, FL to your database? (And, of course, everyone reading this is invited to reflect on Uranus' and/or Pluto's droll humor in chosing a dry location for a hurricane to visit).
Sincerely,
Born to R o a r Alois adds: I have added Dry Tortugas Lighthouse, which is close to Fort Jefferson. The coordinates are slightly different from those you gave, they are from Wikipedia. Hola: quisiera me pudieran indicar si hay algun representante de ustedes en Argentina, pues deseo hacer una carta astral por astrodienst y me resultaria mas facil que contactarme con vds.muchas gracias,los eo siempre.marta calace URUGUAY MONTEVIDEO.-
Marta C a l a c e Alois adds: The easiest way for you is to order online from this website. We have currently no representative in Argentina, who sells locally, I am afraid. R Clark. There is an alternate explanation that the Long Term Influences only list the 3 closest slow moving transits and that you friend has 3 transits more exact at this time than the Pluto opposition Venus at 51seconds from exact. Only Alois could say for sure.
Kent T o l l e y
R Clark: Look for Pluto opposition to your friends Venus next Sunday, July 16th. The orb for Pluto transits used by this site apparently is 51 seconds from a little experiment I just did. Pluto will move retrograde to 24Sag41 on Sunday and you should then see the transit in your friends Personal Daily Horoscope. And you should see this transit continuously in the daily scope until about Oct 22nd when Pluto will be direct at 24Sag41 and moving away from exact opposition. On Oct 23rd it will not be listed again. If you allow wider orbs of course you could consider it opposition now and beyond Oct 23rd. This is the last opposition of Pluto to your friends Venus as Pluto will not come within a degree of the opposition again and it will advance into Capricorn on Jan 25, 2008.
Kent T o l l e y
A friend has a pluto(t) opp venus aspect that is not showing up on the daily or forcast pages. It is clearly in orb for many months but she is not sure if it applies. It did show up for a couple days november 05. Her natal venus is at 23 gem 50.

Gedanken zu Zinedines Zidanes Verhalten am Fussball-WM-Finalspiel vom 9. Juli 2006. Was geschah: Der in einenm ärmlichen Vorort von Marseille aufgewachsene Starfussballer Zinedine Zidane wird nach einer Kurzschlusshandlung (zu Recht) vom Platz verwiesen, weil er einem gegenerischen Spieler, welcher ihn vorher offenbar verbal (tief) verletzt hatte, mit dem Kopf in die Brust stiess. Zuvor hatte er sich diesem Gegner, für mich beinahe symbolisch anmutend, gegenüber, also (auch symbolisch) in Opposition gestellt. Als sensibler Widder mit Krebs-Aszendent realisire ich Augenblicklich: Diese Handlung ist von einer ungeheuren Symbolträchtigkeit. Keine Dummheit, aber ein Drama! Aber Zidane wirkte auf mich nicht so, als ob dies einfach eine gewöhnliche Entgleisung war. Dazu wirkte er zu abgeklärt und gefasst. Als ihm der Schiedsricher die rote Karte zeigt, schien er ihm zuzustimmen und wie zu sagen Du hast völlig recht, Du musst mich des Platzes verweisen. Aber Du weisst nicht, was genau in mir vorgeht. Für eine Minute insgesamt war Zinedine in seiner Kindheit und reagierte so, wie er es damals getan hatte: Der verletzenden Person Einhalt zu gebieten. Auf die Art und Weise der Strassenjungs von Marseille. Irgendwie hatte ich schon immer die Idee, Zidane habe gewisse Skoprpion-Qualitäten an sich. Nachgeschaut hatte ich nie. (Gestern Abend noch, während des Spiels, dachte ich an Mars im Skorpion). Heute, Montag, 10.7.06 will ich es wissen: Wie können die Tageszeitungen nur so oberflächlich sein: unrühmlicher Abgang und dergleichen. Da steckt doch mehr dahinter. Da ist doch ein direkter Bezug zu seiner, vermutlich eher schweren, Jugend aus (traurigen?) Verhältnissen! Also, ich sehe nach: Grundhoroskop (23.6.72, Marseille): Sonne Krebs, Mond Skorpion, Mars Krebs, Sonne und Merkur in Quadrat zu Pluto, Pluto-Quadrat Jupiter um nur so die mir zu diesem Falle relevanten Aspekte zu nennen. Und dann das Tageshoroskop von gestern, 9.7.06: Sonne Quadrat zu Chiron = unwillkürliches, verletzende Auseinandersetzungen . Zudem(schwach):Mond in Quadrat zu Uranus: Überstürztes, rebellisches Verhalten! Mir ist somit alles klar. Faszinierend und traurig finde ich jedoch den Bezug zu seiner Kindheit. Kam in dem Moment nicht einfach so vieles aus dem Unbewussten hoch? Für mich war dies kein unrühmlicher Abschied. Es war die vielelicht unbewusste Inszenierung eines ureigenen Problemes Zidanes auf der Weltbühne. Hatte er nicht schon als KInd tausendmal die rote Karte erhalten? Vielleicht kurz vor einem vermeintlichen Erfolg? Bestand da unbewusster Wiederholungszwang? Oder einfach Skorpionische bzw. Plutonische Selbstzerstörungsgelüste? Ich wünsche mir: Hoffentlich wird bekannt, was genau Zidane so verletzt hat und hoffentlich wird dies in Bezug zu seiner Kindheit öffentlich diskutiert. Es tangierte meiner Meinung nach die brisanten Themen rund um die Franz. Banlieus und die Situation, in der die Menschen dortt Leben. Zudem die psych. Auswirkungen eines solchen Umfeldes (Abgrenzung, Benachteiligung, verbale Verletzungen..etc.) P.S. Der Schreiber hat Pluto in Jungfrau in Haus 3...Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit.
Claudio H e d i g e r Alois: Eine sehr interessante Analyse. Danke. Eine mit mir befreundete Französin versicherte mir soeben, die Worte des ital. Spielers vom Mund abgelesen zu haben. Ihrer Meinung nach handelte es sich um eine grobe Beleidigung von Zidanes Mutter, auf französisch. Thank you all, you've answered my question. Jupiter is in wide aspect at 112 degrees. :) Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this.
Thanks,
Tia C o r r i e
Dear Astro, I don't understand why you don't do birth charts for infants, it does not seem to make sense to me, can you explain further....? My sister just had a lovely girl and I want to look up her stats and see who we have the pleasure of meeting and see her potentials........?
Priscilla W a d e Alois adds: We do birth charts for newborns.
a) Free Horoscopes -> chart drawing We do not give access to the 'Personal daily horoscope' and other prognostic reports, because most of their content refers to the life situation of adults, and expects the recipient to read and understand his own horoscope. Some of these reports have a minimum age of 6, some of 10, and most of 14 years. Final thought for Tia: To construct a simple sentence regarding Mars conjunct Jupiter: You are being encouraged to assert yourself. Where and how and to what extent may be shown by the house, sign, element and aspects to this conjunction.
Kent T o l l e y
Feedback for Tia (2 entries below):
Maybe more important than whether Sun is in aspect to Mars are considerations of the element, sign, and house position of the 3 planets and whether this Fire is integrated into your whole chart easily or in a more difficult fashion. It is not very meaningful to remove one item from the chart and try to understand it without considering the whole chart in which that item is constrained to exists. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Fire and Angular would sit in the chart of Alexander the Great more easily than it would in the chart of Edgar Cayce or Thich Nhat Hanh. Mars conjunct Jupiter in Earth acts very differently than in Fire. And the same conjunction in the 12th house acts differently than when in the 10th house or the 1st house or conjunct an angle.
Here is a list of some with Mars conjunct Jupiter for your understanding.
They all seem to have ambition, motivation, courage, adventure, and are
certain burning driving energy. The conjunction seems to be in several
political figures but may not fit easily into the chart of spiritual types
unless it were Joan of Arc. If this aspect were a Tarot card it might be the
Knight of Wands. Look to the sign and house wherein this conjunction
occurs. Why not get Liz Greene’s Psychological Horoscope from this site. It would be difficult to find a more astute and wise psychological astrologer on the planet.

Hi, this question might seem a bit obvious, but in my chart i have mars tightly conunct jupiter. It gives an aspect line from jupiter to sun but not mars to sun. Is this correct, or should i actually have a trine to mars as well and treat it as such? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tia C o r r i e [ ocait/tiacorrie èt gmail/com ]
Why does the daily horoscope list transits that are not in my yearly horoscope analysis by Liz Greene? The data is the same for both. For instance the daily mentions Pluto sextile ascendant for nine months and that's not even mentioned in my yearly anaysis. That doesn't make sense. Can you clear this up for me?

Trina Whitlock- To get the time correction for daylight savings and your actual chart just enter your birth information into My Astro (button in banner) and then select Astro Click Portrait under Free Horoscopes. It will give your planets and houses, correct within an arc-minute. There are 3 Mountain View, California locations listed in the atlas so you'll have to select the correct one. Each has a slightly different lattitude and this will affect the Ascendant and house cusps.
Kent T o l l e y
I'm just writing to say how much I enjoy Astrodienst--I've learned quite a bit already in the two weeks since I've discovered your site. Many thanks for your excellent work!
Micah M c C a n n
I was born at 12:26am on June 24, 1969 in Mountain View California. I have always been confused about the daylight savings time. When I read about the characteristics of people born on the 24th versus people born on the 23rd, I resemble more closely people born on the 23rd. Why is this?
Trina W h i t l o c k
Again and again people don't seem to understand that the daily horoscope on this website is just a part of the whole picture. It is just a little part of all the transits that are going on in an individuals horoscope at the same time. And people don't seem to understand that the texts of some transits (especially the moon but also mercury, venus and mars) keep returning because the cycles keep returning.

Astrodienst's suggestion that a one-armed man with a beard down to his navel, who has claimed to have had hundreds of contacts with extraterrestrials living 250 light years away, was actually a SS Nazi leader, has kept me laughing throughout the day. It is clear your English translator also has a fine English sense of humour. (See previous feedback.)
Tom L o n d o n
Just wanted to say this site has been very nice to run into. So much information for free it is nice to have someone else see that astrology is a tool in which to share to enlighten and not to be profited off of. Of couse some money has to be made to keep the site up and running and keep people enlightened. Just One Question. Are the daily horoscopes ever going to change. Im getting deja vu every day now being this is my 3rd year on the site. And find myself looking elsewhare for daily Enlightenment. -Mabey its the Aquarian in me. always lookin for change. But Its nice to have the same transists communicated to you in new and facinating ways. Hire an Aquarius with gemini rising.. LOL. :) Love you guys. Keep up the good work!

Minh N g o: The Introduction to Planets in Transit by Robert Hand (c) 1976 Para Research Inc, Whitford Press, says, of transits, that //one can learn what you are most likely to experience, emotionally, psychologiacally and circumstantially, under each transit// (3) and in the same paragraph he distinguishes his approach //from texts oriented primarily to predicting the events that will happen to you.// The entire introduction deserves a good reading. Hand says on page 5 //It is my belief, which I cannot prove here, that within each of us is a creative core that actively creates the universe.// He states in the same paragraph that the horoscope becomes //a symbol of your intentions, not a record of what is going to happen to you.// There is a poem by Blake where to prove that what is in one's hand is just sand, it is thrown at the wind. The wind blows it back, lit up as gems. Shelly said the poetic faculty is necessary to see the gems.

To the proprietors of the astro.com website. It has come to my attention that potentially libelous and scandalous information is being used in the description of an individual, named Billy Meier, who is listed in your VIP Twins section. The description is “SS Leader”. If you are meaning he was an SS Nazi leader, you are completely mistaken. Mr. Meier was born on February 3, 1937. That means he was only eight years old at the end of the Nazi regime. If you knew anything about Mr. Meier, you would know he is against wars of all kind, except those that are necessary for self-defense, and would never have supported the Nazi regime. Please remove the offending description immediately.
Jo_jo Alois adds: You are right, I do not know how this description was assigned. In German, it said 'claims contact with extraterrestrials'. It has been corrected also in the english version. I would like to express my sincerest thanks for the personal portrait that I have received from your website. It has truly reflected most of my potentials and helped to identify those I vaguely felt about before. However, on the other hand, I was quite let down by what was depicted in your personal daily horoscope. It seemed to bear little relation to what I actually went through. Personally I regard this as proof of the limitations of astrology when it comes to predicting about specific events at certain times in people's lives. But is that really true? I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Tolle Seite - endlich habe ich Ephemeriden gefunden- und schon habe ich meine Probleme mit dem Ablesen. Ich wollte nachschauen, ob ein am 21.06.06 geborenes Kind Zwilling oder Krebs ist. Laut meinem Computerprogramm wäre es nur bis 14.20 Uhr Zwilling. Ich kann das aber in der Tabelle nicht ablesen. Wer kann mir weiterhelfenß
Andrea Alois adds: Geben Sie doch unter Gratishoroskope -> Horoskopzeichnung einfach das Kind als neue Person ein. Bereits während der Dateneingabe wird das Sonnen- und Mondzeichen und der Aszendent rechts oben angezeigt, sobald genug Daten da sind. Dear Astro What would be the reason for my husband being negatively influenced in an area we both lived in, which astrologically looked absolutely positive in every way, (Jupiter ic, Sun ic etc.,) for him and it was supposed to be positive for me and it was. His date of birth and time are correct so i have to discount that. It is an important question for me as we are about to move to Stuttgart from the States and last time I lived in Germany unfortunately what Astrodienst predicted was correct. Are some people more sensitive than others? Then i would like to find a way to desensitise myself this time.....
Tatiana B r e g e r Alois adds: Please, do not take the information from AstroClick Travel too serious. It does not interpret the birth chart, it does not synthesize. I would say that this kind of relocation information can only be a minor factor in any consideration. hallo, ich würde mich freuen, wenn sie auch aspekte und stand des chirons in ihre gratishoroskope miteinbringen könnten. auch wäre es super, wenn man horokope schon im voraus anse´hen könnte zb für das unterschreiben von dingen, kauf von häusern etc.. vielen dank m. e.
N.E. Alois adds: Im Persönlichen Tageshoroskop sind Aspekte des laufenden Chiron sowie Aspekte zu Chiron im Geburtshoroskop enthalten. Das Tageshoroskop können Sie jeweils bis Ende des kommenden Jahres, also derzeit 31.12.2007, im Voraus lesen, wenn Sie Abonnent des 'Erweiterten Tageshoroskops' sind. thanks for your site. it is the best i have found. i have a question regarding chiron in the composite chart for hassan and gina, appears in the 12th house at 28 15 23, trine the sun, venus and neptune, square the moon, and opposing pluto, uranus and jupiter. wow huh? i am feeling that it serves to pull the relationship onto another level, i think it forms a grand trine on the cusp of water fire, but i'm not so good at this yet. i am also thinking that it helps to modify the saturn opposition to asc and mars. you will note our age difference. which aspect is it that makes us feel fated to be together? any input? both of us are reluctant healers and our relationship seems to be serving to heal us as individuals, too. thank you for your response. (i would buy the interpretation but as you see we live in egypt and don't have near that kind of cash to put out... yet! 60 usd is beer, food and cigarettes for two for a whole week here!) thanks again, gina

To make things abundantly clear regarding the Free Reports: Each of the free reports is stated (in their Introduction) to be a Sample and meant as an advertisement for the respective full 20-30 page report by the same author.
Personal Portrait is a Sample from AstroText Portrait by Robert Pelletier
Kent T o l l e y
Feedback from the sidelines for Mari Pate: I think you’re being unfair by repeatedly criticizing Astrodienst on this subject. The facts are they have made available to everyone, at no cost, a small sample of the AstroText Portrait and they state so clearly and up front in the Introduction of that sample report. Since that statement is explicit and not implied no “reading between the lines” is required. Quoting the Introduction's opening lines: “This report is a short edition of the AstroText Portrait. It is meant as a sample and advertisement for the full version of the AstroText Portrait which can be ordered from Astrodienst as a bound report of about 20 - 30 pages.” It seems unfair of you to blame the site for the fact that you did not read or understand the opening statement in the Sample. Beyond that, the sample looks to be only 3 or 4 pages from a 20-30 page report, which means that you have an additional 16-26 pages of material for which you paid and received.
Kent T o l l e y
In response to Alois on July 1st from Mari Pate. As far as advertising goes wouldn't it be better not have something that is identical to the free report and just offer what you think people would like to have as opposed to saying short report and assuming we should just know what that means? Just an idea! There's that practical taurus in me liking to get something back for what was paid for. My mistake on not being able to read between the lines. Good Luck

About Astrology - was just reading the horoscope magazine and was not surprised to read that when a client goes to see an astrologer it's because their life is not working or it isn't what they want. When I did readings I did touch on the good areas of their lives but was quick to jump in the areas that aren't working, such as a Saturn opposition to their Venus or a conjunction. To me I felt they should know the truth about what's going on in their love life but I could see the disappointment in their eyes when I did not tell them what they wanted to hear. With all my Pisces planets of compassion how I wished I could patch the bobo and tell them that Prince Charming was just a few days away. Instead I encouraged them to cultivate friendships with both sexes and at least they would not be lonely. Of course when the planets were right, they met the right person either thru friends or it just happened. What I seem to get with people writing in is that they don't get that Astrology is only a tool to decipher our lives - it doesn't make it what we want. I also read that a strong influence from Nepture, ruler of Pisces, can produce extremely... lazy people who prefer to take life easy. Would Einstein ( Pisces) be consired lazy - he was trown out of school as a youngster. Would Chopin - the same - would the first President of the United States - George Washington - the same - would Renoir, Caruso, Fats Domino, Jackie Gleason, Gorbachev, Dr. Seus, Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, the list goes on - all worked more on their intuition than solid facts. It's when we don't take everything into consideration that we feel defeated. Every month I list the 10 things I want to happen in my life - influenced by the particular Zodiak sign - like now Cancer - dealing with nurturing and the home - next month Leo dealing with taking risks, playing more, trying to be more sel-confident, etc. and this gets me into all the facets of the sign and the study of it. It's fun and it brings results. I didn't get my Mercedes yet but I'm working on it - Just met the most wonderful man who owns one. Keep studying as Astrology is a never ending science just as our passage here is getting to know our mission and what we are all about. In life there are no comparisons or competition, as we are all different and meant to be that way. We are special and wonderful. Vive la Difference!

I have been interested in astrology for years. I think this sight is the most detailed and comprehensive astrology sight I have been to. I decided to pay to have a chart done. I was very disappointed. Almost everything that was in the free reading was sent to me in my chart I paid for. There was not much in it that was not in the free reading. So why did I spend the money? The only thing that was expanded on was what each house meant and how that planet might affect it. The reading was verbatim of the free reading. Very disappointed!!!
Mari P a t e Alois adds: I am sorry you got disappointed. You ordered one of our low cost horoscopes, 'Astrotext Partner'. This is indeed based on the same text as the free report 'Short report partner', which begins with the sentence "This report is a short edition of your and your partner's AstroText Partner.". So, it should not really have been a surprise to find a lot of what you had already read in the free report. You should have ordered Liz Greene's 'Relationship Horoscope'. |
