Community guidelines

A place to talk charts with care. These are the few rules, and how we keep them.

Be kind about charts and people

Every chart belongs to someone. Read it with the same care you would want for your own. No chart is bad, cursed or doomed, and no placement makes a person worse than anyone else.

Disagree with the idea, not the person. Say what you see in the chart and why; leave the reader out of it.

No grim predictions stated as fact

Do not tell anyone they will fall ill, die, lose a child, divorce or go broke. Astrology here is for reflection, not verdicts. Questions about health, law or money belong with a qualified professional, and a good reply says so.

Share your own chart freely. Attach a friend's, partner's or relative's chart only with their permission, and never post someone else's birth date, time or place without it. Charts of public figures built from published data are fine.

No spam and no selling

Do not advertise, post referral links or sell readings, courses or products. Link to a source when it helps the discussion. Repeating the same post under different tags counts as spam.

How moderation works

  • A filter checks every thread, reply, message and chart label for a short list of banned words. It also holds links from brand new accounts and posts with many links. Links to Aspicio's own public pages (Learn, horoscopes, calendars, sources, Community threads and tags) are not held for new accounts. A link that carries someone's birth details (a chart address) is held on public posts, so attach the chart instead. It also holds a post that repeats one of your own from the last day (an hour for replies) with the same chart, so a moderator can check it is not a double post.
  • A pre-screen by an AI model may also read new posts for abuse, the whole post however long. It can only hold a post for a person to check; it never deletes anything. A post the model declines to read is held too. When the model is down, the filter decides alone.
  • Holds. A held post waits for a moderator and only its author can see it until then.
  • Reports. When three different readers report the same thread or reply, it is held until a moderator looks.
  • Moderators can hide a post (its author sees the reason), lock or pin a thread, and suspend an account for a set time. A suspended account can still read.
  • Limits. There is a cap on how much one account can post in an hour, and new accounts start lower.

What an attached chart shows

An attached chart stores where each planet and point falls, rounded to a tenth of a degree. The rising sign, Midheaven and houses are left out unless you tick the box that shows them, because together they give away the birth time and the birth place. The birth date, time and city appear in words only if you tick the box for those. Coordinates are never stored.

The positions alone still show the birth date: the Sun and the slow planets fix the day for anyone who cares to check. With a birth time, the Moon, which moves about thirteen degrees a day, fixes the moment of birth to within minutes. A chart without a birth time is cast for midday in universal time, so it shows the date but not the time or the region. If the date matters to you, share only the placements you are asking about in words.

Deleting a thread or reply removes its chart from view.

How to report

Every thread, reply, message and profile has a Report button. Pick a reason and add a note if it helps. Only the moderators see reports, and the person you report is not told who sent it.

You can also mute someone to fold their posts away, or block them to stop follows and messages both ways. Both are on their profile.

For anything a Report button does not cover, write to us at hello@aspicio.app.
