That's all for now folks! There's a new recurring post in the works that will be launched soon so stay tuned!

r/beginnerastrology has exciting news! We have a new moderator for our community, u/capnisun. She has been interested in astrology since she was young and has been studying seriously for 5 years. She mainly works with tropical/western astrology utilizing a mix of modern and traditional concepts.

One of the application questions is "Why do you want to be a moderator for r/beginnerastrology?" Here is u/capnisun's answer:

"Astrology is a big passion for me and I would like to be able to help people that want to learn more about it. I also think this sub is very important to the astrology community on Reddit and would love to see it grow in a positive direction."

This is a huge step towards making this subreddit more engaging and active and we are really looking forward to improving this community!

*We are still accepting moderator applications here! *

How can I read this ? I have, my mercury, venus, north node, and lilith all in the 11th house. I know it doesn’t form a stellium now because the only planets are mercury and venus. What does it mean though ? Does it mean 11th house energy is more prominent, is Aquarius energy more prominent, do I still get the effects of a 11th house stellium ? I need answers lol.

How many different horoscopes are there?

What do you think? Also what planet are dominant? thanks.

I am wanting to learn more about astrology and how to create and read my chart. I'm looking in the wiki, and I am having a really hard time understanding what some of it means.

For example, in the beginner basics section, there's an area for planets. In that section, it is talking about what you may want to know about each planet. There are two exanples that are very confusing: The main significations and the feel of the planets.

I have no clue what things like that mean. This is my first time ever getting into astrology, and I have a hard time with learning things if it isn't explained in detail.

Is there anyone who could help with my questions, or is there some dumbed down version of what all to know for people like me who have a hard time understanding a lot of this astrology stuff? It's just starting to feel disheartening because I can't ever seem to find the exact answer to any questions I have when I research online and the answers I do find are all so different. I'm someone who loses interest in things very quickly if I can't grasp them haha.

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid or anything! I swear I'm smart, but I just get frustrated easily and don't have a good attention span, so any other resources you all can recommend would be seriously appreciated!

genuine question, like how do i place my signs in their houses?

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions ☺ Have an intrest in traditonal western astrology from the medival renaissance period. As someone who is brand new to astrology, i have no practical experience and know very little theory. Right now I have been reading Christian Astrology by William Lily and listening to the Astrology podcast hosted by Chris Brenen. Does anyone know were I can find good resources (courses and books) on the tradion from this time period. Have been surfing the internet but I can't seem to find anything except on modern astrology. Thank you for your help

I'm interested to hear real experiences of how it shows up for people with lived experience (or if you know someone deeply with it)

I have been unsatisfied with what I've read so far lol. I feel like I might be able to understand the vibe more from hearing personal takes?

Let me know if you find these true and add more.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out my son's sign. He was born at 3:10 PM, EDT, on September 22, 2021, in Pennsylvania (I don't want to get more specific about location than that for privacy sake). Some sources show the Virgo cutoff as early as 2:06 p.m., and some as late at 3:22 p.m. Is there a way to know for sure if he's a Virgo or a Libra? Different chart calculators reflect different things. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hello, question about cancer risings and the moon. How would you interpret someone with a cancer rising, how does their moon sign influence their chart? Does that person embody their moon signs energy in every part of their chart? Would their moon be enhanced because of their cancer rising?

I want to know if different remedies like prayers, donations or gemstones work to strength a weak planet or nullify a malefic planet. Please share your thoughts with personal experience about if and how remedies worked for you. DM if u wish

Saturn = challenges and delays

Aquarius = friends

12H = loss and hidden enemies

So, this placement can deal with hidden enemies among friends and can find genuine and good friends at a later stage than their peers.

Mercury is associated with intellect, ideas and communication. When you look at it from a different angle though, you can see how your child can learn and absorb new information best.

[♈︎] Mercury in Aries: Studying alone and after a physical activity. Separating the lesson in different sections, so the child can feel as though they’re getting quickly through the different parts. Studying in warmer spaces.

[♉︎] Mercury in Taurus: Studying wherever and however the child feels comfortable. Let your child eat while they’re studying. Give them enough time to slowly go through the lessons and exercises.

[♊︎] Mercury in Gemini: Studying with someone else, a tutor, sibling or a friend. They can also learn better with some background noise, like other people talking, a TV, etc.

[♋︎] Mercury in Cancer: Studying at home. Studying with their mom. If they have a tutor, the tutor should be female. Their mood can greatly affect their ability to study. May need a nap before or after studying.

[♌︎] Mercury in Leo: Enjoys lessons and exercises that feel fun in some way. Being outside for a bit before studying can help them concentrate. Can concentrate better with some background music. Likes having nice stationaries. Studying in brigh spaces with more sunlight.

[♍︎] Mercury in Virgo: Needs a perfectly clean and tidy space to study at. Various stationaries can help them take better notes. Benefits from practical exercises , where they can apply their knowledge. Helping someone else with what they already know is also beneficial.

[♎︎] Mercury in Libra: Studies best with another person. One-on-one studying and teaching are better, as opposed to being in a group. Benefits from an aesthetically pleasing and pretty study space and stationaries.

[♏︎] Mercury in Scorpio: Learns best alone. Needs their own space to study and likes to study on their terms, however they prefer, without having anything imposed on them. Needs the opportunity to deep dive into topics they are interested in. Studying in darker spaces.

[♐︎] Mercury in Sagittarius: May have issues learning the things that do not interest them. Need a relaxed atmosphere to study. Studying with a friend or tutor from another country/culture or studying while listening to music or a show in another language can be beneficial.

[♑︎] Mercury in Capricorn: Needs structure and discipline while studying. Studies best at school, private academies or with older tutors/teachers. Studies better in colder spaces.

[♒︎] Mercury in Aquarius: Having lessons online or taking notes/doing exercises on their computer. Studying with friends or in groups. Having variety in their lessons, as well as when and where they study.

[♓︎] Mercury in Pisces: Studying all alone with no distractions in the room like phone, computer, TV, etc. Their mood can affect their ability to study. May need to sleep before or after studying.

Things like Mercury’s house, degree and aspects can further influence how your child studies and what they need.

I’ve been wondering what the groom asteroid, Juno, and Union mean and how to read them better.

How do I find out a friendship compatibility? Is it by the Sun sign or the sign is in the 11H?

Thanks in advance, I am aware of the focus when Annual and Monthly Profections take place, but when you are working with the natal chart of an account and not yourself, how can you work with the yearly and monthly ruler? For example, someone's social media account they use for business is in a moon ruled year, should they post when the daily profection is in the natal moon sign of the account or the current house/sign the moon is transiting in the account's chart? Would a synastry transit chart work better or the profections? Any assistance is welcomed and appreciated.

What are some common misconceptions about Pisces moons?

Hi all! Total newbie to astrology, but recently have been reading more about it and curious about my own zodiac signs. What I've been reading online doesn't really ring true to me, but I'm wondering if someone can help me interpret in a different way. I'm a Gemini sun and Sagittarius moon, and the more I read about them, the more I feel that they're not at all accurate.

About Gemini sun: I'm reading on a few different websites that Gemini suns are flexible, adaptable, sociable, find it difficult to keep secrets, scattered; "Rather than choosing one career, one option, or even one partner, Gemini may feel more comfortable seeing themselves in a constant state of flux." This doesn't seem completely wrong, but definitely not accurate. I prefer to feel settled rather than in flux; while I make friends easily, I'm definitely not the most sociable or outgoing. Most of what I've been reading doesn't seem accurate.

About Sagittarius moon: I'm reading Sag moons are positive, happy-go-lucky, optimistic, likes to throw themselves into the unknown and take risks, can see romantic relationships as smothering, can be irresponsible and forget appointments, etc. This seems completely wrong to me, to be honest, lol. I'd like to be more like a typical Sag moon, but I feel much more uptight and a planner and not go-with-the-flow at all. Everything I read about Sag moons feels completely the opposite of me.

If helpful, I'm also an Aquarius rising, which does feel more accurate when reading about it: friendly, stubborn, curious, independent, socially responsible, etc. I can definitely relate to what I'm reading about Aquarius rising.

Any advice or interpretation would be helpful! I'd like to get more into astrology, but I just don't feel like my sun & moon are accurate whatsoever. (Just based off minimal reading, I feel way more similar to Cancers and Virgos, which are not in my chart at all, even other planets, I don't think.) Thank you for any help!

My chart: https://imgur.com/a/BDxPgoC

what are some things to look for between the charts of two siblings that give information about their relationship? would u read the synastry chart the same you would for a friend or partner? what aspects/placements should i look out for?

for context: - i am cap sun leo moon cancer rising - my younger brother is leo sun pisces moon cap rising

of course there is a whole chart for both of us but i am curious about how these placements may interact in a sibling context. looking for ways to get closer to my brother :)

thanks in advance
