I’ve heard that having Mars in Cancer means that you’re less likely to stand up for yourself and will probably find conflict uncomfortable. I don’t feel this way at all though!

If anything, I’m very outspoken, blunt, direct, and feel that truth is incredibly important. I have no problem with pointing out a flaw or calling out bad behaviour. It’s a no-brainer for me.

Are there any indications of this in my chart? Thanks in advance! 🌟☀️

Why do people constantly approach and talk to me like I have a sign on my head? Im quite introverted until I know someone well.

I enjoy being authentic and open. I’m very talkative and hate the idea of being “demure” and avoiding taboo shit. I can be a little off the beaten path in some people’s eyes. But it’s almost like I’m too “much” for people or what I say is taken/interpreted the wrong way. I’ve learned to hold that back a lot more.. I still do express myself with the right people, but it still feels like theres a disconnect from everyone around me. I would love to just be myself, but it’s just not well received. I have friends family people who love me and are around me, and understand important pieces of me. But it’s pieces- they have their image and perception of me but there’s still parts can’t understand or see. I’m very lonely in the sense no one fully sees me. I want them to see me but I also care a lot about how people perceive me, which makes me very anxious and overthink chronically. Where in my chart might indicate or explain this? Any advice?

I‘m very much a loner at heart. I actually don‘t have issues when it comes to talking to people and social skills or anything. But I‘d just rather be a loner instead of hanging around fake and pretentious drama oriented people. I don‘t care to fit in that much and just focus on me. I do have trouble with friendships and had many bad experiences with bad people and did experience betrayal, exclusion etc at some point too. Or some friends just randomly distancing themselves. While I certainly have the mindset that I don‘t care and give that vibe off pretty much, I still carry this sadness and longing. I also wonder how I‘m perceived because I can‘t tell for sure and also I‘ve never been in a relationship before, or experienced any romantic connection

MOST IMPORTANT

PLEASE USE ONLY THESE SITES:

• Astro-Seek.com
• Astro.com (please use the "Anglo With Zodiac" chart style, found on the Extended Chart Selection page)

Do not use these chart makers. All are either useless because they don’t provide the normal chart information, impossible to read, or are known to have errors.

• Astro-Charts. com
• Astro Future app
• Astrotheme. com
• Chani App
• Co-Star App
• CafeAstrology. com
• Time Passages app
• Or any chart-making site or app that does not put the degree numbers on the round chart, or that have a style that is hard to read.

Other sites or programs or apps may be ok, but only if houses are clearly displayed, and the full degree positions for each planet and angle are displayed on the round wheel chart. We still, however, ask that you use the two recommended sites above. Do not use odd-colored themes as we want things readable for all users.

DO NOT POST LISTS OF PLACEMENTS, OR JUST GIVE A FEW PLACEMENTS IN YOUR POST. DO NOT ASK A QUESTION ABOUT ONE OF YOUR PLACEMENTS AND NOT INCLUDE YOUR CHART. DO NOT POST ONLY A CROPPED PORTION OF YOUR CHART.

Doing so will result in rejection of your post. This is an astrology sub - we need to see the chart. Even if you think it doesn't matter, as you are only asking about one placement, or one aspect, we need the whole chart. There are levels of analysis that go into that "just one thing" that you may not be aware of. No planet or aspect or house operates in isolation in the chart.

DO NOT HIDE YOUR CHART BEHIND THE NSFW BLUR

This just makes all the more work for anyone who might be willing to answer your question.

HOUSE SYSTEMS

We require that you use the Whole Sign house system for the chart you post here, even if you don't normally use it. The exception is if you are posting a Horary chart, which requires the Regiomontanus house system.

ANNUAL PROFECTION POSTS

While we require the Whole Sign house system in general, know that even if you normally use Placidus or another system, Annual Profections specifically, and always require that you use Whole Sign.

If you post with a placidus chart, your post will be rejected. Do not post with just the "profection guide" chart from astro-seek. That is only a tool to help you determine your profection. We need your actual full normal birth chart, in the Whole Sign house system.

• On astro.com

Go to the Extended Chart Selection page (it is found under the Horoscopes tab, under the heading “Drawings, Calculations, Data”. Here’s a direct link to that page: Extended Chart Selection. Then in the house system drop down menu on that page, select “Whole Sign”.

Please also select, under Chart Style, the one named "Anglo With Zodiac".

• On astro-seek.com

When entering your birth data, scroll down a bit and you will see a small "Extended Settings" link (this is also shown just below your chart once it is displayed). Click on that, then in the House System drop down menu select the “Whole Sign” option. Don’t use the one that says “Whole Sign Asc Horizontal”, and don’t use any of the ones farther down that say “0 Aries”, etc.

HORARY POSTS

These require that you use the Regiomontanus house system.

TRANSIT POSTS

This means posts asking "what is going on right now", or "what happened a month ago when everything blew up". You need to post your natal chart + transits as a biwheel for the appropriate date whether that's a month ago, a year ago or right now. You can set transits to any date in the past, present or future easily on astro-seek.com The biwheel puts your natal chart on the inside and transits around the outside. You must use astro-seek.com for transit charts because it does display the actual transit-to-natal aspects on the chart, whereas astro.com does not.

Do not ask "what will the next year be like for me". This is a massive ask. And would take an astrologer a great deal of time to answer.

SOLAR RETURN POSTS

Solar Returns must be read alongside the natal chart. DO NOT post just your solar return chart alone. Make a natal + solar return biwheel. This puts your natal chart on the inside, and the solar return chart around the outside. It is helpful if you give your age as your Annual Profection's lord of the year should be considered in the solar return.

I know very little about charts, but feel that something is a little funky in mine with everything so heavily weighted in one place! Any insights at all are appreciated, but I am specifically wondering if I may have abilities I am not taking advantage of and how to grow them. I have family members that passed when I was very young that I’d love to try to contact. Thank you!

I know i have a lot of Taurus placements but I’ve been trying to gain a greater understanding of how these interact with one another in the 9th house? new to understanding houses in general just curious because I like learning new things! thanks!

so i'm actually a beginner astrologer, ive been studying and practicing for around a year and a half now and i've figured out many things about myself through my chart but the one thing that i have not been able to decipher is why do i keep having the experience of getting unwanted attention & being dragged into situations that don't involve me?

like for example, my best friend's ex-boyfriend was weirdly jealous of me and continued to both shittalk and complain about my existence but i only met him once (and i'm long distance with my best friend, so i quite literally wasnt there in person throughout that entire relationship except for one time), i've had teachers be weirdly obsessed with making me into a star student and bringing attention towards me (i was forced to stay behind multiple times and also the teacher kept calling me for 2 weeks over me needing to do extra work for a higher grade that i didnt agree nor want), i've had multiple situations where friends of mine are dealing with an argument or a situation of sorts and i get named or dragged into it when i was not involved at all, i've also had situations of people privately messaging close friends of mine to weirdly insult me or target me

and the biggest thing that confuses me about all of this is that i keep to myself - i am pretty closed off, not very loud, i mind my business and yet it feels like there's this spotlight that keeps chasing me even though i don't want it. i've asked around and the best answer i've got is that i just seem very nonchalant and make things look easy and never seem like i'm under-pressure but even that doesnt really give me the answer i'm looking for...

i've stared at my chart for weeks and cannot figure it out and would love for someone to give me an idea of why on earth this keeps happening to me 😭

I dread people asking my sign because by all accounts, I don’t “seem like a Leo”. I’m quiet and shy, have social anxiety and depression that makes being alone at home my ideal state, struggle getting close to/being vulnerable with people, and don’t think I’ve ever “captured a room” like Leos do. Even with my best face on, my shyness comes through.
I do identify with some of the less stereotypical Leo traits. I’m very loyal and protective of my loved ones, which can bring out a more confrontational side when I feel they’ve been disrespected. I’m also incredibly sensitive and haven’t not been called dramatic…
I recently looked up my birth chart and was surprised to see that Leo shows up a lot, which made me question even more why I’ve always felt more like an outsider than someone who naturally commands attention. I’m totally unversed in astrology beyond the basics though, so I’m assuming there’s a lot I’m missing.
Is there anything else in my chart that explains the disconnect between all the Leo and how I actually experience my personality/am perceived by others? Or-not to be a drama queen- (unless that’s the Leo coming out? 👀) is it just that my brain chemistry turned me into someone entirely different than who I was meant to be?

Thank you!

I often feel like I’m standing in the middle of an internal conflict, almost as if different parts of me want completely different things. I can be motivated and excited about something, then suddenly become bored or restless and want something completely different.

My mood can also shift pretty easily. Sometimes I feel intensely interested in something and can become completely absorbed in it, but then the interest disappears and I struggle to stay engaged. It can make me feel like I’m constantly chasing something new while simultaneously feeling frustrated that I can’t settle into one direction.

I don’t necessarily feel like I don’t know myself. It feels more like there are several versions of what I want competing with each other.

I couldn’t find much on this placement other than getting along with others, is there more to this placement?

I think it's interesting I have one side which basically has nothing on. I'm no expert but I think they're the more subconscious parts of me?

I feel like an alien in this world and live a very private life outside of mainstream society so I'm curious if it shows up? I'm also autistic so that's maybe a lot to do with some of it.

Thank you!

I’m an astrology student, so please help me understand 💚

I know that due to the metonic cycle, the lunar return and solar return coincide every 19 years, but I’m not turning 19 or 38 etc., just 30. Tomorrow!

Is this as significant as I feel it is? How rare is it to have this alignment outside of that 19 year cycle?

New to this sub so let me know if I accidentally forgot to add any relevant information.
Thanks!

I have consistently struggled with over thinking / over analysing my whole life, I struggle to make decisions and can’t trust my intuition because I constantly go back and forth debating every outcome.

Hello! (Reposting because of the rules, hope this is better ☺️)

I’m 31F and in regards of love I feel stuck.

I had only one boyfriend for a little more than a year. A very profound connection that brought us a lot of mirror of childhood wounds. My trauma was not being chosen.

He broke up with me and went on to date someone else, and I know I manifested that reality. So it taught me to understand the laws of the universe and how everything is mental.
This happened at the start of my Saturn return.

He came back in the middle of that return, it was a very emotional moment, but it lasted only two weeks. He wasn’t ready but ended things good this time.
But there’s still some texts every now and then. He went on to date someone else again but it seems that’s over.

Then recently I met another guy who is the first one I truly liked for the first time since my ex and the chemestry was amazing. A month later, he posts a picture with another girl.

By the way, both these men are from other countries. I don’t mind that but just to clarify.

I’ve been on a journey of healing and connecting with myself. This is the first year where I feel so good within myself, I have integrated my nervous system. I go through life and experience it very differently from the first time.

So I don’t understand what’s going on in my reality.

I’m just done with the healing, I did so much in my Saturn return that I just want to live and experience a relationship for good.

Is there any current transit that reflects or what if my chart shows any advice on the matter?

Thank you for reading!

I’m really curious abt how you’d interpret my natal Jupiter, which I at first look thought was a weak planet due to its sign, however! The aspects are pretty nice + I’ve noticed whenever transit moon is in cap, I experience really good luck (it’s been a pretty strong pattern, ie getting a scholarship, jobs, etc)

Also, if you have any interpretations on how I should best navigate this placement, utilize or better this placement, that would be really appreciated! Thank you!

I'm guessing it's the sheer amount of air dominating my chart? Idk but I would love to know if my chart is the reason I have a hard time being present in my body and live in my head! TY❤️

I’ve always been quite intelligent, and my friends respect and appreciate my analytical skills, ability to understand different perspectives, and ability to mediate conflicts.

However, I’ve always struggled with insecurity, overthinking, and social anxiety, and I was quite shy and self-conscious as a child.

Could my Mercury-Neptune square be related to this pattern?

For as long as I can remember I've always wanted a home I can be at peace. I value quiet, nature and freedom in my own home.

My childhood was a turnstile of people coming and living with us. Or we in turn go live in someone else's house. This meant sharing a room with my siblings or living with relatives I don't necessarily like but tolerate. I never got to 100% completely say I can call my own.

I was relieved when I can finally move out. I get to choose my own place. However I started having crappy neighbors that would smoke endlessly then I'd move. Only to be in a sharehouse that will have house parties, so I move. Then neighbours again that is too nosey.

As this pattern continues, my list of wants for a home grew. I finally had the opportunity to buy a house that seemed perfect. Spacious has a great backyard. I thought, oh finally. Somewhere I can enjoy nature and everything I hoped for.

That until the neighbours moved in. Nosey and loud enough that we can hear their conversations in the house. Would play heavy base music on weekends all day.

Goodbye quiet and peace. Worst thing now is I can't move this easily compared to a rental. Does it say anywhere that I'm always goona have an unfulfilled home base?

Not only is Chiron conjunct Ascendant but I have Pluto & SN in the 1H as well. Saturn makes an opposition to my Ascendant too.

As for real-life context, it's a mixed bag of.. fear of being perceived, fear of being judged, constantly being belittled & criticized by others for no real reason, always being wary of others, nervous laughs/awkward small talk, etc. Very hermit-like.

I don't want to spend any more time having to subdue myself for others so I'd like to ask if there are any good remedies for this particular placement? Thank you so much 👍

I turned 33 today, and I realized that the lunar eclipse happened right as my birthday began. From what I understand, it’s technically a very deep partial lunar eclipse rather than a total blood moon, but the timing still caught my attention.

I’m curious whether astrologers consider it significant when a lunar eclipse falls directly on someone’s birthday or solar return.

Does it tend to say anything about the year ahead, major endings/beginnings, emotional shifts, relationships, or themes that might come to the surface during that solar return year? I’m mostly curious about the general significance of having an eclipse occur on your birthday. Is this actually noteworthy astrologically, or is the timing more interesting than meaningful?

I’d love to hear how you would interpret it.
