Rule summary
- Don’t post to ask questions or share about your or others' chart placements or personal situations.: This means your chart or situation, a friend's or family member's, synastry charts, etc. There should be no personal content in your post. Charts of public figures are allowed if you make an effort to direct discussion with specific questions or observations. Include their chart. Public Figures must have a Rodden Rating of A or AA on Astrodatabank.
- Post should be for general discussion: The goal of your post should be to stimulate discussion, this means keeping the OP general. If you are posting a question, do not use personal examples from your chart or life. In other words, no personal content should exist in the post. Keep it a general astrology topic. [see details](https://www.reddit.com/r/astrology/wiki/index)
- No memes, ChatGPT or shitposts.: No memes and no “what sign do you hate the most” or “what is the smartest sign” kinds of posts. No “guess my sign” posts. No ChatGPT content.
- No self-promotion posts or selling your services or products.: (Even if for free.)
- No daily or weekly forecasts.: Other forecasts, and their frequency will be at the mods’ discretion, for now.
- Don't be a jerk: We expect a general level of civility in this subreddit. Those who personally attack others, or make general insults toward signs or placements will be banned without warning.
Works well
- A general discussion about a specific astrological technique, like house systems or aspect patterns, with no personal chart involved.
- A post about a public figure's chart, including the chart image, with a Rodden Rating of A or AA on Astrodatabank, and specific questions to direct the discussion.
- A historical or educational post about the origins of a Western Astrology concept, aimed at stimulating conversation.
- A question about how a specific transit or planetary movement correlates with earthly events, framed generally without personal examples.
Avoid
- Do not post your own chart, a friend's chart, or ask about your personal situation.
- Do not post synastry charts or ask about relationship compatibility using personal charts.
- Do not post daily or weekly forecasts.
- Do not share memes, shitposts, or any AI-generated content.
- Do not post ChatGPT content or AI-generated astrology interpretations.
- Do not post personal insults toward signs or placements, as this leads to a ban without warning.
What r/astrology Is For
This community is for discussing and learning about Western Astrology. It is a place to study the correlation between celestial movements and earthly events. The community is not for personal chart questions or life advice. It focuses on general discussion and learning, not on individual situations.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called 'Don't post to ask questions or share about your or others' chart placements or personal situations' is the first gate. If your post touches your own life or chart, it is gone. The rule 'No self-promotion posts or selling your services or products' is the marketing killer, and it applies even if you are giving something away for free. The rule 'No memes, ChatGPT or shitposts' removes any attempt at low-effort or AI-assisted content. The rule 'Post should be for general discussion' means your post must stimulate a real conversation, not just serve as a prompt for personal advice. The rule 'No daily or weekly forecasts' blocks a common content format that marketers might try. The rule 'Don't be a jerk' matters because insults toward signs or placements lead to a ban without warning.
What To Post
A good post here is a general astrology concept that gets people talking. You might explore a technique, a transit pattern, or a historical astrology topic. If you reference a public figure, you must include their chart, and they must have a Rodden Rating of A or AA on Astrodatabank. Your post should ask a specific question or share a specific observation that directs the discussion. As a founder, your only path is to be a genuine participant in astrology discussions with zero promotion. If your product ever comes up, it should only be because someone asked you in a comment, and even then you should be cautious given the strict no-promotion rule.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything personal. Do not share your chart, a friend's chart, or ask about your own life. Avoid memes, AI-generated content, and ChatGPT text. Do not post daily or weekly forecasts. Do not promote anything, even for free. Do not insult signs or placements, because the rule 'Don't be a jerk' says you will be banned without warning.
