Some data on how rare it actually is to be born during an eclipse?

The eclipse a couple of nights ago got me thinking about the thing that comes up every eclipse season, people calling themselves eclipse babies. so i pulled every eclipse from 1900 to 2100, all 909 of them, and worked out the odds properly. turns out the answer swings by a factor of 25 depending on what you mean by during. the loose version is being born on the calendar day of any eclipse, solar or lunar. that's 909 days spread across two centuries, so about 1 in 80 people. common enough that most people have a few people they know that fall in this category the strict version is being born while the moon is actually inside earth's shadow. that window only exists during a lunar eclipse and it averages about three hours, which adds up to roughly 850 hours in the whole 200 years. that's about 1 in 2000, five or six times rarer than being born on christmas day. and the day version shifts a little with your timezone, but the shadow version doesn't, the moon is in the sha...

astrology on how to become successful

I was wondering how you can see in birth charts how that person could become successful? And of course success is a wide ranging term and subjective to an extent. One person might become successful being a very famous singer, another person by working in a creative field, the other person might work with children, the other might be an entrepreneur with a very successful business etc. etc But to determine this, what would you look for in a birth chart? Generally said of course submitted by /u/Next-Manager-4944 [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/rKCuAb0 via IFTTT

Why is astrology always so negative

So can someone explain to me why in astrology (sorry if this has been answered before) it’s somehow always negative? What I mean by that: either there is a mercury retrograde which already happens like 6 months of the year. Then if there is no mercury retrograde, or even if there is one, there are x amount of other retrogrades. Or/and there are eclipses or eclipse seasons. I don’t really know but it always seems like there is no “good” time - if you’re lucky, some retro shade is ending or there is some sort of day where things manifest. But overall it’s very negative it’s a big turn off for me. And yes that might be things to channel as growth but cmon, surely it can’t all be struggle minus a few days here and there. Please explain this to me!! submitted by /u/PeanutPrestigious256 [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/OZy75Wq via IFTTT

A few general questions about local space astrology

Hello! I've been reading about local space astrology and astrocartography quite a bit. When playing with local space and/or relocational astrology, I tend to get confused ... I know with astrocartography, the "center" of the map is your birth place. But when I play around with the locational astrology tool on astro.com, you can move the main pinpoint around. The default is your birth location. But let's say you don't live in your birth location anymore. Should you move the pin to where you currently live and study those lines? The local space astrology tool there also lets you get really specific — I can move the pin to be exactly on a certain address, or the center of a particular city or town. Is one better than the other? (Address versus center of town?) You can also toggle off and and on a button that says "keep azimuth of birth chart." It's defaulted to be toggled on, but when you uncheck it, the lines all move a little bit. Is it better t...

Interested in interpretations of a macrocosmic view of astrology

Hello everyone. I have recently been interested in macrocosmic/ timeline/ historical perspectives on astrology. To illustrate what I am talking about. Let’s imagine a timeline (this can start at the beginning of life on earth or even simply at the big bang) until now, and then continuing up until an unspecified point in the future (you can choose this) How would this timeline be illustrated symbolically through astrology? Does astrology coincide with different big “era’s” of history? Does it predict or have things to say about future waves of humanity? Are there any books or YouTube videos/ other resources on these kinds of topics? I really just want to have a side by side analysis of astrology with culture, history, evolution, etc. Any help with this topic would be much appreciated. submitted by /u/moomamoon [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/qKe4mGj via IFTTT

How is mutual reception by domicile impacted when one domicile ruler is in the sign of its exaltation and the other is in the sign of its fall? (Traditional Astrology)

I'm trying to conceptualize mutual reception by domicile when exaltation and fall are involved. Analogies are always helpful, but I get stuck when trying to apply the one of a planet in the sign of its exaltation as a guest with high expectations about their stay at this particular hotel, a stay resourced by the hotel owner (domicile ruler). I understand that the actual outcome or manifestation of exaltation is only as good as the domicile lord's ability to resource it (e.g., whether the owner is burnt out and busy putting out fires so the last thing on their list is putting extra goodies in the honored guest's room or checking on them vs. whether the owner is well-resourced and able to pull out all the stops for the honored guest)... so I'm having a hard time understanding how this plays out with mutual reception by domicile. I know the aspect between them plays a big role, too, but I mainly wanna wrap my head around the essential dignity dynamic before factoring that ...

Nodes & Eclipses

With the solar eclipse in Leo happening in a few days, it's made me wonder to what extent both nodes are involved in new moon eclipses. I assumed that both the north and south nodes are involved in all eclipses; however, I haven't seen many astrologers discussing Aquarius in the next eclipse. Yes, the sun and moon are both in Leo, but the north node is in Aquarius? submitted by /u/autisticallykind [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/COxdw3t via IFTTT

are there other indicators of religion besides the ninth house?

like how likely you are to believe in things vs not. i know a lot of things are controlled by the 9th house, and since religion is such a large part of some people’s lives, i was wondering if there was somewhere else you could turn to find out. submitted by /u/Downtown_Remote7739 [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/2ehwcd6 via IFTTT

Steven Forrest: Racism Issues

Image
For those who aren’t aware of the recent events around racism and well-known astrologer Steven Forrest, I will paste a text excerpt from Chris Brennan’s Facebook post that specifically lists what Forrest has done and said so that any who comment here can be clear on the issues. Please do read the full Facebook post and its comments here . The video in question was posted on July 23, 2026 and was up for a couple of weeks but has now been taken down. Many of the teachers and tutors of Forrest's school of Evolutionary Astrology have resigned. ISAR has commented and the UAC is in the process of a decision about Forrest's participation in the conference. Other astrologers scheduled as presenters at UAC have withdrawn or stated they will, unless the UAC removes Forrest from the event. T his subreddit in no way supports Forrest’s actions. We condemn his statements in the video (now removed) and his delayed and meaningless apology. Any who show support for racism here will be p...

Positive and negative planet by place

Hi. I'm new to astrology and reading Chris Brennans Hellenistic astrology. He talks about interpreting the most positive and negative planet by place according to the sect of the chart, that place the benefic of the sect is located within will tend to be an area of good fortune and ease and the place that contains the malefic that is contrary to the sect will tend to be an area of difficultly and hardship. So in a night chart that would be the location of Venus and Saturn. What would it mean if they were both in the same house/ place? The themes of that place would be easy and difficult, I'm not sure i understand what that would mean? Hope that makes sense. submitted by /u/Torinuk [link] [comments] from Astrology https://ift.tt/DCY78ja via IFTTT

Some questions regarding aspects: If challenging aspects can yield positives(opposition, Square e.t.c), how can easy aspects give negative aspects(Trigon, conjuction, e.t.c)

Overarching Energy for the Cancer New Moon on July 14th (and information on the fixed stars Castor and Pollux)

On July 14th, we have a New Moon in the nurturing sign of Cancer. This Moon is in conjunction with Mercury in retrograde, less than two days after Mercury's inferior conjunction to the Sun. The fixed stars of Castor and Pollux are flanked by the New Moon. Together, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Castor and Pollux are telling us a story related to the past, endings and a new start. Before we go deep into the New Moon, let's discuss the fixed stars. Whenever an important event has fixed stars associated with it, we gain an additional layer of understanding. These two fixed stars belong to the constellation of Gemini. This may seem confusing, since the Moon is in a different zodiac sign. However, due to the precession of the equinoxes, the fixed stars are sitting in the preceding constellation. The tropical zodiac we use for horoscopes isn't pinned to the constellations, it's pinned to the seasons, to the Sun's return each year to the same point at the spring equinox. The a...
