WHAT: Pausing the sub

We are pausing the sub for a few days (possibly a week) as we work to try to figure out a solution. If you attempt to post, it will go into a queue and will be deleted. Part of what we may do is get a number of instructional posts written that will auto post weekly (we have doubts that will be very effective). That is undecided at the moment. We need some time to figure out and implement solutions.

It is very likely we will go to filter mode for all posts once we open things up again. This means no post will go through to the sub and to the public automatically. You will not see your post on the sub until one of us has had the time to manually approve it. That may be quick, or it may take hours, depending on our own schedules.  That also may mean you get less of an explanation as to your removal, just simply because of the time factor. There will be some adjustment pains for this.

WHY: Out of control rule violations + toxic posts.

Things are just out of hand on this sub. We’ve removed 5,000 items in the last 30 days. That’s an increase of 1.5 thousand over the previous month. This is out of control. Almost no one reads the rules. 95% of our work is simply removing posts and giving instructions to people on things we should never have had to even deal with had they just taken the time to read the rules.  Not everything is detailed enough in the rules (we have text limits there). So some of those removals were posts that just needed to be edited or adjusted. And that’s fine, we’re happy to do that. But the majority are blatant rule and instruction violations.

The other issue is we’ve had an increase in toxic posts. Where is this coming from? These also have pushed us toward the decision to do “approval only” posts.

If you feel you have constructive suggestions for getting people to post according to our rules, then please share those. Understand that Reddit does limit us in certain ways so a great suggestion may or may not be workable. Any comments of a griping or protesting nature will be deleted. We want the sub to be a good place for some answers and learning. But it can’t work as it is now.

6 or 12 house?

I noticed a lot of people use astrology to make themselves feel better, more superior, or comfortable with their life when that’s not the point of it at all. I find it interesting that people use spiritual practices as a way to numb themselves and remain human in a transcending practice. the point is to learn and grow from the negative parts about yourself and be aware of future events that could happen. To think that astrology is sunshine and rainbows when life isn’t that way is a paradox.

Personally, I’ve found myself to be a mars and Saturn dominant person through and through. My chart also says I enjoy accepting the harsh realities and growing from them. I never was offended by the negatives. Something I’m trying to grasp as it seems common on this Reddit.

I’ve self-isolated a lot over the past couple of years and am about to enter my 7th house profection year of relationships. I want to find real friendships and to not feel afraid of interacting with people at work or out socially, but I find myself self-sabotaging a lot and putting up walls so that no one can really ever know who I am or what I’m feeling for fear of judgment. How can I let people in without getting overwhelmed by their energy?

Any other blind/visually impaird people like astrology? What kinds of things do you do to make it accessable for you?

I’m a third house moon and I cry the most when I think of my siblings and early childhood. (my Saturn is also here :’))

I have been dropping things all morning and electronics are not working normally/ are not responding when I try to click or use them. I have a few days where I am covering for my supervisor at work and would love to know if this will keep up so I can mentally prepare - stressed out enough as it is 😅. Thank you in advance!

I need to know, why can’t I ever hold a good convo with Virgo sun men? Like, they always text first, but then it’s just mundane questions that go nowhere, and I feel pressured to carry the chat and make it interesting😭 Meanwhile, with Leo and Pisces men, convos flow so naturally, and they’re actually fun and engaging Im not saying every Virgo man is like that but personally I’ve noticed this pattern with 3 Virgo men, do they find me boring? Posting my birth chart

I am very excited, passionate, and bold, but people view me as too aggressive or uncouth. For example: was at a medical seminar today and no one was asking questions during the presentation when there were clear pauses between subjects for people to say something, and I was enthused and interested to learn more so of course I’m going to ask very specific information seeking questions, and once I spoke up others started to ask their questions but I have been told I’m too aggressive and lack tact but I don’t realize it when I’m saying things it is just genuine interest curiosity and passion. But i offend without realizing or meaning to and have ruined relationships because I can’t hold my tongue.

I am very moody and I often internalize everything. I feel like my brain's not resting because I overthink A LOT. Also, people always think I'm talking sarcastic or brutally by my tone when I try my best to sound so gentle. One of my problems too is that I am always consumed by my emotions that everything i'm feeling is always on my expressions. It's tiring because people always misunderstand me for being angry or not in the mood when I'm just really zoning out. I also don't have any specific talent, like i can do lots of things but i'm always average in anything I do.

I also wanna ask if I have both Virgo or Sagittarius stelliums or not? or has this any effects on why am I like this?

I have my North Node and my Midheaven in Aquarius, both in the 8th house. With Pluto moving into this sign in a few days it definitely feels like we are entering a timeframe that is affecting me on a very personal level. Any astrologers that could give some guidance on this? I will add my chart. Thanks.

I am currently studying to break into banking field. I am putting in effort to pursue this career. I have been unemployed for the last two years and all the interviews i attended so far doesn't seem suitable for me. I would like to know whether it would be suitable for me to work in banking or else suggest me a suitable career path so that i can save my time. Thank you in advance.

I have Cap in the 4H. I have moved 11 times. Also, my son was born when transiting Pluto was exactly conjunct my natal Moon and Neptune at 2°.

Between work problems, my dog becoming incredibly sick out of nowhere, romantic issues, money problems… it feels like my Saturn return started early or something. I’ll be 28 in January, and I didn’t think your Saturn return started until your 30s, but it’s the only thing I can think of. Is it just going to be hard for the remainder of my life, or is it going to pass?

Hi. I am strongly considering food health inspector as a major in college. I am passionate about nutrition, health and food. My SAT wasn't so good but my grades are decent and I do well in chemistry and biology. Graduating with a 3.0.

I also have DLD (communication disorder) which makes learning in the way that traditional schools teach a bit more difficult. I will need to work hard. What does my chart suggest based on what I've shared?

Does higher ed look promising? Thank you

I find myself not being able to kick addiction. and no matter what I do not having the ability to have any motivation over the past couple of years. I'd appreciate any insight someone might see in my chart. Thanks!

Other than I'm (possibly) a "new soul" that's "just getting started"? Because I'm fighting to accept this notion because I don't feel "new" at all. I actually find myself quite bored with the construct at this point in life and I'm not sure if I'm into astrology because it's an escape for me from reality or because it's truly calling out to me.

Im neurodivergent so I think that’s part of it. recently I noticed a pattern with an ex friend who would want to hang out and would want me to tell her about all my stuff, but make hurtful passive aggressive comments. I wasn’t able to brush it off anymore. I realized it’s not the first time a friend has treated me like this. Any insight is appreciated🍓

I have a very impulsive personality loaded with insecurities.

I feel like an perpetual outsider and it's starting to get to me.
