This is more of a FAQ question rather than simple feedback!
.
The graphical ephemeris is based on the 8th harmonic (45 degree aspects).
1. Is it possible to create other harmonics too?
2. Would it be possible to include moon at some point as well?
.
Thanks for the great site. You're the best!

I have been looking at the persona charts and see that the birth date of my father is my mars persona chart and one of my brothers is my uranus persona chart. Relatives birthdays also appear in other family members charts. Does this mean these people are our teachers in this area or is there some other explanation of their effect on our lives? Also the saturn persona chart of a friend is the date of his death earlier this year. Since saturn is associated with death this seems appropriate and I wonder if the saturn persona chart is always the date of death?

Liz Levy - Contradictory influences seem normal to me. Life is seldom one-sided. Most of the time we go about our days with conflicting influences. How often are you so clear in your mind that some opposing position is not also relevant. Except in the fairy tales, even when marrying somebody you may have a few second thoughts. There are many positive reasons to marry your love but that does not ensure there are not going to be contrary influences. Plan on there being some difficulty. How often is your life completely assured and singularly clear? It is inconvenient truth that opposing forces are at work. It is not Liz Greene’s fault that the universe is constructed this way. She is just describing the astrological forces at work those in support and those that argue the contrary. You still have to make the decisions about your life. Do you really want somebody or some system telling you with 100% assurance that you should do A and not do B?

Guten Tag Liebes Astro-Team

Ich bin heute zum ersten mal auf eure Seite gestossen und habe mir gedacht ich melde mich gleich an und probiere alle horoskope aus die auf mich zugestimmt sind. Und ich muss wirklich sagen ich war total überrascht da das meiste was dort drin stand über mich stimmte.

Ich bin zwar erst 15 Jahre alt aber beschäftige mich viel mit Geschichte, Poesie und vielen übersinlichen sachen da es mich sehr interessiert...

Und darum möchti ich euch sagen diese Seite ist wirklich sehr Lobenswert!!! echt Spitze :D

Ich werde eure Seite sicher öfters besuchen kommen!!

Ich wünsche euch allen einen Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr !!!

I am highly disappointed and amazed at the forecast for 2007 which I ordered from Liz Greene. Let me start on a positive note by saying I was impressed by the speedy delivery time (via email). Unfortunately, though, I found the outlook entirely unhelpful for 2 reasons: it is highly contradictory in some instances, and, vague in others. Even more puzzling is the fact that next to nothing in the reading matches the trajectory that my life is on for the 1 year period ahead of me. To give you a brief idea, I am on the verge of experiencing 2 major life happenings - marriage, and the commencement of a very lucrative contract for my business. Before placing my order I read Liz's sample online so I knew what to expect.

I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on the matter, particularly as my birth data submitted is accurate.

All the very best to Astrodienst staff and readers for 2007!

With definite respect for the 2 persons who've again experienced a sense of the negative aspects of their charts (or of Robert Hand's interpretations), I find that this recurring topic now finally stirs me to want to contribute to the dialogue as well.

I feel its intriguing that the same piece of work ... Robert Hands writings made in the 1970's ... can serve with as much perceived accuracy as they do, even 30 years later. The more common feedback complaint is not about accuracy or relevance but about his troubling tone or negative content.

Without intending to seem argumentative, I feel differently about his tone. It may be this same perceived negative content that has kept me returning. In fact, I actually don't trust very long in any forecast that promises more sunshine and cloudless days than appropriate for my climate. But I do want the closest to an accurate prediction that I can find. There is a very good reason to forecast rain, snow, sleet, beautiful balmy days and scorching ones which critically raise our fire danger, if in fact that is what is truly indicated. If one lives in a climate with a full sweep of seasonal potentials its far better to be told what has a strong likelihood of occurring, whether I like it or not. Giving me only the positive may lead me to set out on a hike with inadequate provisions or clothing. I don't consider snow routinely good or bad ... I like some days with and without. But my activities change accordingly. Robert's writings about business, romance, romantic, spiritual or personal pursuits to me seem likewise mostly neutral, but by analogy they occasionally contain a warning that planning to snowshoe on a day more likely to be filled with temperatures above 90 could be a bit frustrating. And whether we like the tales or not its in our best interest to hear the full story on global warming when doing so urges us to make necessary course corrections.

For everything...turn...turn...turn...there is a season ... and sometimes also dangers or serendipities beyond the normal cycles. There is a lot to be said for being well prepared for either.

A wise friend once pointed out to me that every strength is a weakness and every weakness is a potential strength. It all depends on the season, the need, the situation, and whether your movement requires an abductor or adductor muscle, etc. So I'm more interested in the full story. I want solid info on both the pros and cons for something I am going to spend very much time with ... whether its an outdoor trail book, a review of electronic equipment, cars or bicycles, a medicine or herbal supplement, or an astrological interpretation.

So far I experience Robert Hands writings as an attempted balance of point and counterpoint -- rather than specifically positive or negative. Somedays he is musical composer. Somedays he is fencing. These threads represent opposite tensions. As in many areas of life -- the electrochemical, magnetic, gravitational, metaphysical (and whatever other types are yet to be discovered) tensions help maintain one's position in the center. And when my center lives within a circle or sphere rather than a two dimensional line - there are inevitably a lot of points and counters.

Whether I experience them as negative or positive is more a matter of what I project onto the situation at the moment I am reading. I suspect I experience the positive supportive side if its closer to what I want that day and the negative it is telling me to wait for another time, to be careful or to monitor my reactions, or if it contains some confrontive element. However, at least for me adequate spiritual potentials for growth occur abundantly in any season. Its often the dark, cold, windy, and dynamic tensions which provide the best conditions for sustained growth, even though at times that growth my be inward, invisible or underground.

Nature is full of such examples. A recent article pointed out that trees grown in a thickly populated forest or ones sheltered by deep canyons protected too much from winds do not get enough exercise to develop much elasticity in their trunks and root structures compared to those living out in the more exposed regions. When an unexpectedly strong storm comes along the weaker trees are more likely to be blown completely over, even whole sections of a forest. For trees that live long enough, they've witnessed this process of dense neighbors coming and going enough to see a greater rhythm behind the seasons of the forests or perhaps even the seasons of the planets.

I'm not experienced enough at this point in astrology to tell whether Mr Hand has a bias that is truly negative...but thus far I've not sensed it in my readings. And given that I have 5 major elements in Virgo in the 8th House I do believe there are a few reasonable strong tensions going on natally and in my cyclic transits -- I find there are whole clusters of days which are characterized mostly by Squares and Oppositions. Not Mr Hand's fault, nor mine. Tis simply the design of my sky chart.

Actually, the most dangerous thing he could do is to only tell me about the Conjunctions, Triunes and Sextiles that may sound like sweeter music to my ears while denying the full chords and disonnances I need to be prepared to handle.

What I am looking for in an astrological interpretation is an unbiased presentation of those tensions, points and counterpoints which carry the most predictive weight. Gives me the best chance to deal with the variety of these tensions creatively. I think of it as data. Colors, Shading. Possibilities. When I'm drawing I find that dark colors, even my shades of black are necessary, neither good nor bad. But they create the extra-dimensional perspective(s) that bring me closer to my reality or life-likeness.

On the longer term influences, say a Saturn Square, one day I may think its lousy. A few days latter I may think its merely neutral fact. The next week I may find a strange solace in reading that the stresses of my day or week were synchronistically validated by the mysteries of vast and distant planets and their derived meanings translated by another earth walker 30 years ago who does not even know me. Occasionally, I may actually see the figure and ground reverse in his interpretation and realize that the most beneficial part of the interpretation was what I once thought was irrelevant, irritating or negative.

I too am interested in the respectful contemplation of larger systems, global, planetary, and universal for spiritual themes to support my depths and meditations. Having them contain the whole grains and seeds is at times much less tasty and I admit to hours of chasing the items that satisfy my sweet tooth. However, my complete nutrition requires a broad range of ingredients.

Interestingly, some reports of Ayurvedic traditions indicated that every meal should contain a mix of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent, etc in order to be whole. Do you think that perhaps holding together the postives and negatives in astrology is another manifestation of the micro/macrocosmic order of wholeness? If so, then the goal behind a body of work such as his might be to disclose as best he can the the full menu so I or you can work within it to realistically meet our needs and hopefully a few of our pleasures.

Ich bin schon lange Zeit von Euch und Euren anregenden Astro-Deutungen begeistert! Habe immer zu schätzen gewußt, selbst zu deuten, was Ihr so schreibt- weil das muss man auch immer noch in die EIGENE HAND NEHMEN! Ich habe mir zu Weihnachten dieses Jahr eine Jahresanalyse geschenkt, mit der ich einverstanden bin- bei der ich aber weiß, dass sie zu eingeschränkt auf einige Themen hinweist- weil sie nicht offen genug geschrieben ist. Die Themen, die angesprochen werden sind immer Thema bei mir- aber das halt wirklich schon lange. Also hatte ich schon viele Auseinandersetztungen, um die Intensität zu schmälern(TOITOITOI). Aber mensch kann aus der Ferne halt nicht alles sehen. Ich danke denen, die diesen Faktor immer weitestgehend mitberücksichtigen!!!

Thank you Astrodienst for your generous website. I've enjoyed checkiing in regularly for a couple of years and have learned a great deal.
I find, however, that I visit the site less often because the Robert Hand interpretations seem so negative to me. I sat down today to write to you about it, and noticed someone else has recently written about the same thing.I feel that these interpretations leave little room for the positive responses we are capable of as we grow spiritually.
Thank you for receiving my comment. E. Smith

Hello Astro Team,

As a frequent and long time user of your website, I wanted to share with you some thoughts. Thank you for the opportunity.

I had just been thinking about the upcoming transits as the new year is upon us and thought to myself, 'astro.com needs to update their transit readings'. Today, as I was reading your feedback section, I noticed the message about Robert Hand and his work with Astrodienst. You noted: the transit text for which Astrodienst holds the worldwide exclusive rights was in fact written in the 1970ies..and I had an 'aha' moment. I adore Robert Hand's work and have lived with his Planets in Transit book for over 25 years but I just have to wonder whether or not these readings need some updating? As I read through your daily readings and Robert's book, I tend to feel the negative 'possiblities' strongly...almost fear based rather than love based...whereas, in the age of 'positive thinking' and using the laws of the universe, is not our perception of 'what can be' the most important part of the reading? And should not that perception be framed in the most positive way as possible? I think that by viewing and focussing on only the best possiblities, we are immediately closer to making it a reality. I wonder if it's time for a 2007 version of Planets in Transit...our own perception of each planets' influence has changed to some degree since the '70's. Astrologers are expanding the art and science continually...by asking more questions, by gathering and sharing their own experiences etc. I just think that a conversation needs to begin. And I'm ready to put in my 2 cents! Thanks for listening. Happy New Year and thank you for a wonderful website!

Hi-
I am amazed and overjoyed with how incredibly accurate your relationship reports are. I am just disappointed with the price. Its FAR too much to pay 49.95 for each report... it's only an automatically generated report.
I'd gladly pay 5 or even 9 for a report, and then I would buy reports for myself with EVERY person I know the cost of my buying many lower-priced reports would then add up to be more than 49.95 in the end.

HI there. I just wanted to bring to your attention that your Astro Click Portrait section would be so much more valuable if you included significant (tight) aspects ..of the less common sort. Im talking about quincunxes, semi-sextiles and the like. There have been some uncannily accurate details about my personality pointed out in the aspect descriptions of Thefutureminders.coms FREE Compatibility Romance report...I love how they show that these to-the-point description doesnt Just apply to the aspect you have...but to the conjunction and hard apsects too, or to the trines and harmonious aspects, too. For example, it shows **Venus conjunct or in hard aspect to Saturn**---when I have Venus Quincunx Saturn (but at a very tight orb), heres their description: You at times can seem cool, emotionally distant and
unavailable, or disinterested in people, but this is only a
mask. Inwardly, you are apt to feel unlovable, unworthy, or
simply afraid to open up...Learning to be more playful, and to
overcome your fears of intimacy and your tendency to isolate
yourself...challenge in life...

Nowhere in my report on this site was that aspect and my Venus Quincunx Neptune aspect included. Also itd be nice to see a better interpretation of the **Saturn conjunct or in hard aspect to Neptune** aspects (astro.coms report shows it as unable to be described b/c it applies to too many people and is too general, but i disagree..) Thefutureminders says..You are prone to experience a lot of doubt, worry
over imaginary difficulties, and an overly acute sense of
spiritual duty which generates feelings of guilt or inadequacy
within you both from time to time. You also tend to be extremely
hard on yoursf when you cannot live your ideals. However,
all of this is likely to motivate you to delve deeply into
spiritual questing, and to take the transcendental or inner
mysteries of life quite seriously. I also like how in this report, where they compare the common aspects between two charts, they say that b/c Saturn is in hard aspect to Neptune in my chart, and soft in PersonBs chart..Both of you need a fair amount of solitude and time for inner reflection. PersonA, especially, feels this urge, and may require or feel compelled to renounce the world in order to concentrate on the inner life or spiritual renewal. PersonA may experience a sharp dichotomy between everyday, mundane life and higher pursuits, and may fantasize or even attempt to abandon material concerns and demands. PersonB is more able to integrate the spiritual with the practical everyday life and thus can help PersonA learn to do this as well.

I dont know if it would be better for you to develop a free report similar to that one (btw Tarot.com has the same report, but they call it Romance Compatibility Report it is under 'Samples' under Astrology Reports) where two charts are compared for similar aspects, or if it would just be better to integrate all this fascinating information into the Astro Click Portraits descriptions of the Aspects in the chart...for sure, though, I would love it if you included the less commonly used aspect, but still as important (especially if tight in orb) into that report b/c there are so many people who are missing out on reading about those. Thefutureminders.com is not all that popular. Even more likely to be missed is a sample report out of 5 others from Tarot.com Even less likely is anyone to see this..if it never occurs to them that they could analyze the aspects in their own chart by using two identical profiles of themselves for the report.

Truthfully, Im just really tired of skeptics, or even people who havent really been all that amazed by astrology ..and I think this would be a great chance to impress the public, especially being such a popular website--you have the power to do this.

I also wanted to put in the spotlight my favorite website =) AsiaFlash.com because its truly extraordinary and I think its a very interesting find. Theyve revealed so many things about me using my first name and surname, and theyve even combined it with my western and chinese zodiac signs. They have 400+ free reports. It really is quite a find. Maybe you could, I dunno, team up, with the webmaster of that site, obviously he knows a great deal, and provide more goodies for the public so that we can become aware of these things/this knowledge?

All Im saying is that skeptics come to you first in trying to prove or disprove astrology to themselves--and I think you should take maximum advantage of that, and make sure that youre being effective in sharing with the world the richest of Astrologys treasures.

I made some predictions about an event that will come, so here it is:

Atention on 11 april 2009, at Iran country !!!

A strong earthquake might occur. It is a high posibility that this earthquake to trigger lot's of fire and even explosions. it's even the vice-versa posibility, that an explosion of large proportion to trigger an earthquake.

Hello,

I want to say, this website is really great, I visit it everyday and helped me a lot. I have two questions if someone wants to help. The first one might be strange, but i'm really curios... could an astrologer have doctor's degree??? The second question is where I could find a way to provide a gauquelin sector chart??? Thanks in advance!

Gheorghe  S i r i u s
Bucharest, Romania --- Monday, December 18, 2006 at 22:53 Universal Time

Alois adds: The second first: Free horoscopes -> extended chart selection -> chart drawing style -> Gauquelin sector chart

Most astrologers who hold a doctor's degree got it in a different field, though this is sometimes related and possibly their doctor theses had actually an astrological subject. One example is Dr. Peter Niehenke, former president of the german astrological association. His thesis dealt with statistical research into astrological claims - with negative results, mostly. For myself, my PhD work was in solid state physics and was not related to astrology at all, even when I practised and studied astrology on the side at that time (up to 1981). I would not call myself an astrologer, as this is not my profession - I do not read charts for a living. I am professional in computer science and computer applications which deal with astrology.

I know quite a few astrologers holding doctor degrees, but not in astrology, because it is rarely accepted as a valid field in academic science. It will come, don't worry. We are going strong.

Alois adds: Zu den Sprachen: es gibt auf jeder Seite oben rechts eine Sprachauswahl [en] [de] [fr] usw, bei der man meistens zwischen einer von acht angebotenen Sprachen wählen kann. Nur sehr wenige, rein technisch betonte Seiten wie Swiss Ephemeris documentation liegen nur auf deutsch vor. Sobald Sie einmal mit der Sprachnavigation zu deutsch gelangt sind, bleiben Sie immer in deutsch, bis Sie selbst via Sprachnavigation wieder wechseln. Es ist sehr einfach!

Ihr Aussage zu WOW ist genauso falsch wie die zu den Sprachen. Bei Astrodienst kauft man die CDROM-Ausgaben von WOW oder WOL, den einzigen beiden Programmen des englischen Astrologen Adrian Duncan, die wir anbieten. Die CDROM-Ausgabe läuft zeitlich unbeschränkt. Ab und zu muss man, wenn die Software es verlangt, die Original-CD in den Rechner einlegen, zum Beweis, dass man sie besitzt und nicht etwa nur zur Installation 'ausgeliehen' hatte.
Adrian Duncan bietet auch eine kostenlose Download-Version seiner Software an, die man von seiner Website herunterladen kann. Diese Download-Version verlangt nach kurzer Zeit die Installation eines Lizenzkey, der ebenfalls auf seiner Website zu erwerben ist.
Die Download-Ausgabe und die bei Astrodienst erworbene CD-Ausgabe können sich leider in die Quere kommen. Es ist daher nötig, via Systemeinstellungen -> Software in Windows die kostenlose Download-Ausgabe von WOW vollständig zu de-installieren, bevor die gekaufte CDROM-Ausgabe installiert wird. Andernfalls verlangt die immer noch vorhandene kostenlose Download-Version einen Lizenzkey, den es für die CDROM-version nicht gibt und den man auch nicht braucht. Wir finden dieses durch die Download-Version verurschte Problem auch unglücklich, haben darüber aber keine Kontrolle, da wir nicht Hersteller jener Software sind, sondern nur Vertreiber.

Diese Informationen sind bei uns auch in der Rubrik 'FAQ (Häufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten' zu finden, im Bereich Astroshop -> Software -> WOW

Frau Hofbauer, warum sprechen Sie nicht mit uns, bevor Sie falsche Aussagen ins Gästebuch schreiben? Wir sind erstaunt, hier des Betrugs bezichtigt zu werden. Astrodienst betreibt eine sehr grosszügige Geschäftspolitik, und wir tricksen unsere Kunden nicht aus; es gibt auch keine versteckten Fallen. Ihre Unterstellungen empfinden wir als beleidigend.

Do you know what it is based on? which programme may they use or whatever...?

Regarding Part of Fortune, there are two ways to figure it. The original fixed formula:

Fortune = Asc + Moon - Sun.

And new formulas based on whether the Sun is above or below the horizon.

Day Births: Fortune = Ascendant + Moon - Sun
Night Births: Fortune = Ascendant + Sun - Moon

My Virgo compels me to explain why I want to use composites in synastry. lol. I'm 50 and am interested in a fella with a grandson who lives with him. I can generate our composite but I want to add in the grandson, too. I can't be the only one that wants to do this. Tell me how....but don't give me math figures. I hate math. lol~

I have a question that I have encountered confusion on two times recently. Astro.com shows my part of fortune to be in Cancer and two professional astrologers tell me my part of Fortune is in Scorpio in my 8th house. Before it was in Cancer in my 5th house. Kepler appears to be a program that requires money each time. Does anybody know where you can access Kepler for free? And WHICH is accurate?

I also wish that astro (Thou it DOES HAVE MANY Freebies I love) would let us do SYNASTRY for COMPOSITES, etc.

Is it possible to get Astrodiensts snail mail address?
You have some products I'd like to purchase yet as I have already been a victim of identity theft I do not use on line purchase options. I still pay the old fashioned way by money order via snail mail as well as customers to my own web site do.
Some day I might feel confident again about utilizing a more secure internet pay plan yet once burrned twice cautious.

Thanks for your assistance.

Alois adds: Just use our online shop. In the checkout area you will be able to choose payment methods, and - depending upon place of residence - you will find cheque, money order or 'cash in registered letter' among them. Precise instruction about how and where to mail are included.

Quite a few people send us (US only) money orders or cash in registered letters, or even unregistered ones. We process all this faithfully and problems come up very rarely.

Aside of that, our homepage has in the left column the link 'phone fax address' to our address details. And in the FAQ section, you find the same information about payment methods as I mentioned above.


Hi and thank you for your site, but I have one problem when reading my daily transits.........I was born in England and now live in Sydney, Australia....When I read the transit's exact time, (which for example may be 17:56pm monday London time)allowing for the time difference, that will be 5:56am the next day(tuesday) in Sydney, and I would most likely be asleep by that time, please explain how I should read the forecast. Thanks,

Hi there - your website is truly a godsend - thankyou gods. On a more mundane level can you tell me if it is possible, if based in UK, to pay for your products in US dollars rather than Euros? I believe it will work out considerably (25%) cheaper and presumably you would recieve the same amount???? Thanks for any explanation of the maths. With immeasurable appreciation for your work - Sarah Hakim

Alois adds: All Europeans pay our Euro prices, I am afraid. We still count the UK as part of Europe. Our cost happens to be in Europe as well.

You may want to tell us that we need to increase our US prices by 25% to compensate for the dollar weakness. We have to look into that at some point, but we try to hold it off in the interest of our overseas sales.

Regarding you personally, I doubt that your income has dropped due to the weak dollar. In fact, the pound has risen against the Euro recently, so you do have an advantage over the rest of Europe. Please, have mercy on your american brothers and sisters! We do.


Leider ist das Horoskop viel zu allgemein und nicht auf die jeweilige Person zugeschnitten, auch nicht im gekauften. Ich bin alleinstehend ohne Freund, habe eine halbe IV und bin auch noch arbeitslos! Ansonsten stimmt einiges, aber eben nicht alles.

Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle einmal dafür bedanken, daß Sie dieses Programm zur Verfügung stellen. Es öffnet einem Türen zu einer anderen Welt, weil hier die Schlüssel geliefert werden. Ich betreibe die Astrologie selbst schon seit vielen Jahren und hole mir hier oft noch Anregungen und Hinweise, und ich erfreue mich immer wieder an der Software mit ihren vielen Möglichkeiten. Ein Leben ohne Astrologie mag ich mir nicht vorstellen. Ein Leben ohne Gott allerdings erst recht nicht, denn er spricht zu uns durch die Planeten und Sterne.
Also nochmals herzlichen Dank an das Team von astro.com und eine geruhsame und besinnliche Advents- und Weihnachtszeit! Rosemarie T.

I have been using the whole house system (which is the ancient Helenistic system that Robt Hand now prefers) and find it to be the most accurate. Push all your planets of the same sign into the house ruled by that sign in your chart - also you can set your data in your astro software to do this for you by choosing the Vedic system. It will surprise you. This will show you then 0 degrees on the cusp of every house. Try it! A world of new meaning will unfold before your very eyes. Emily

For the Relationship and Psychological horoscopes - do these give a picture of the present circumstances or circumstances in general? The details are eerily relevant to today and I wonder if either was ordered again say 3 years from now would the details differ? Also, in the relationship horoscope, is the scope focused more heavily on the individual entered first? It appears this way to me, and even when I purchased the reversed version of the original the text seemed to be weighted to my part of the relationship. Curious to know....

Hello,

first of all congrats to this website. I have been reading the English version of my horoscope so far and it was usually brilliantly accurate.
However, one question: why do horoscopes for the same day and for the same birth data differ among the language versions? I find that simply odd....

My Mars and Uranus are in an almost perfect sextile, yet you tell me that the Moon was conjunct my Mars yesterday, 4/12/06, at 15H24 and will be conjunct my Uranus tomorrow, 6/12/06, at 18H59. The former is no doubt correct.
Please do adjust your headstrong computer. The Sun hitting my T-square every year about this time is bad enough : this time it killed the motor of my very old little Peugeot 205, dead in the water on Friday, 1/12. Inaccuracy won't change this mean full Moon, but accuracy is welcome ...

Caty  G r e e n
Bonneval, France --- Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at 08:39 Universal Time

Alois adds for headstrong Caty: Your Mars is at 6°45 Gemini, and your Uranus at 6°50 Aries.

Yesterday at 14:24 UT (15.24 Paris time) the Moon was at 6°45 Gemini.

Tomorrow at 17.59 UT (18.59 Paris time) it will be at 6°50 cancer, squaring your Uranus.

You misread 'Moon square uranus' as Moon conjunct Uranus. The daily horoscope says 'square'.

I love your site and enjoy the ease at which I can use it for my own casting, but, I just read a free forecast report for the next 6 months starting December 06 to around May or June 06. I found an error! It states, when casting, that Mercury is in retrograde, this is simply not true for December. Mercury turned direct on November 17, 2006, this causes barely a shadow to have it effect my reading. Because I am Gemini with Gemini moon this could cause my reading to be completely incorect alltogether. I am telling you this because it is important to have correct information, as much as we can, to forcast as likely as possible. Please contact me with any information on this matter. Thank-you for your time.

Alois adds: I don't know what you have been reading, but certainly not the Short report forecast on astro.com. It certainly does not talk about Mercury being retrograde at this time. If anything, then Mercury is retrograde in your natal chart. Whether there is a reference to it in the text I don't know.

Maybe you check again, and if you indeed find a problem, please use the link 'report a problem' at the bottom of the very page where you see the problem. That way, our support staff can see the page you see.


To Tom Jacobs - You state that the archetype of Lilith, the Black Moon, has emerged as one critical to many people looking to understand and heal themselves, and that consequently it is critical to know its true position.

Just wondering why you believe this to be the case. I don't use Lilith at all, because when I've placed it in my own chart or those of other people I know well, I haven't seen anything approaching the significance that you and some others give it. I've read up on it, and have yet to be convinced that it should be an integral part of a chart. Can you convince me otherwise?

It seems to me that, with all the asteroids and Transneptunian points that exist, you've got to draw the line somewhere. Everything can't have meaning, much less importance. For example, I used to put Ceres into charts for years, along with the other big asteroids, and stopped using them because I found they didn't appear to contribute anything to the reading of a chart. I'm not finding that to have changed, just because scientists have now decided that Ceres is a planet. Likewise, I'm not finding that Pluto is unimportant, just because scientists have belatedly decided that it's not a planet. I also find that Chiron is very important, regardless of its small size. But the Black Moon Lilith? Not so far.

Alois adds: At Astrodienst, we are not working with hypothetical (i.e. non-existing) planets. But we understand that there are schools of astrology who want them, and we have provided a procedure that you can include them in your charts. Please see the FAQ How can I show hypothetical planets in a chart?

The code for Hades is: h41, and you type it into the field for asteriod numbers, at the bottom of 'extended chart selection'.

There is a link which leads you to the codes for other hypothetical chart factors as well. The whole list of eight factors of the Hamburg school is h40,h41,h42,h43,h44,h45,h46,h47.


HI...A question in particular regarding my natal chart. My Sun is 23.23 degrees Leo right at the end of the 1st house. With most astrologers, I've had it interpreted it as Leo Sun in the 1st house. On your site, it is interpreted as Leo Sun 2nd house since it is at the end of the 1st house. Would you be so kind as to help me understand why the Sun would be interpreted as the 2nd house if it resides and the end of the 1st? Many Thanks! :)~Karen
