Questions

The ones people actually search for — answered properly, including the part where we say what astrology cannot tell you.

• Why am I so attracted to this person?

  In astrology, disproportionate attraction usually points at Venus, Mars or Pluto making a close contact between two charts — the pull is real, and it is not the same thing as compatibility.

• Are we soulmates?

  Astrology has no soulmate marker. What it does have are contacts that produce the feeling of recognition people call soulmate — mainly the lunar nodes, Saturn, and tight Sun–Moon connections.

• Why do we keep having the same fight?

  Recurring arguments usually map onto a hard aspect between two charts — most often Mars, Saturn or Mercury. The chart will not stop the fight, but it can tell you what it is actually about.

• Twin flames: what astrology really shows

  Twin flame is not an astrological concept — it comes from modern spiritual writing. The charts of so-called twin flame relationships do share a pattern, and it is worth understanding what that pattern actually means.

• What is my Moon sign?

  Your Moon sign describes what you need in order to feel safe — which is usually a better description of your day-to-day life than your Sun sign is.

• Where should I live?

  Astrocartography maps your birth chart onto the world: the same chart expresses differently depending on where you are, because different planets were rising or overhead at different longitudes.

• Does astrology actually work?

  There is no scientific evidence that planetary positions influence personality or events. Astrology can still be useful — as a structured vocabulary for self-reflection — and it is worth being clear about which claim is which.

• Sun, Moon and Rising explained

  Your Sun is who you are, your Moon is what you need, and your Rising is how you land on people before you have said anything. Most of what people find accurate about astrology comes from the last two.
