r/astrology rules
6 rules, in the community's own words.
- 1
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.
- 2
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
- 3
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.
- 4
No self-promotion posts or selling your services or products.

Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that will decide if your post survives are “Don’t post to ask questions or share about your or others' chart placements or personal situations.”, “Post should be for general discussion”, “No memes, ChatGPT or shitposts.”, “No self-promotion posts or selling your services or products.”, and “Don't be a jerk”.
What To Post
A good post should be for general discussion, meaning the goal is to stimulate discussion with a broad topic. If you are discussing a public figure, you must include their chart and make an effort to direct the discussion with specific questions or observations. The content must remain strictly theoretical and general.
What To Avoid
You must avoid posting any personal content, such as your own chart or a friend's chart, because of the rule “Don’t post to ask questions or share about your or others' chart placements or personal situations.”. You must also avoid any content that is a meme, uses ChatGPT, or is a general insult toward signs or placements, as these violate “No memes, ChatGPT or shitposts.” and “Don't be a jerk”.
A note from Anthony
It is very clear that this community values academic discussion over personal readings. The strict ban on AI content and personal charts shows they want theory, not individual fortune telling. Founders need to keep their posts strictly general and theoretical to survive here.
