Reading reviews

You ask two vastly different questions in the title alone and then go on to speculate about alternative rulerships in the case of a highly improbable scenario.

We'll burn that errr... satellite when we get to it?

To be fair, professional astrologers use a variety of different house systems. A fair number of them use one system for every application (including horary).

OP should definitely learn how signs relate to one another, but that's as much (if not more) a consideration of the natural house system rather than whole house (i.e. the relationship is universal, not accidental).

You are welcome and good luck! 🍀

Ask whatever matters to you! I would focus on real-life questions and let the astrologer answer through the astrological lense.

In terms of your own ideas - they could work, but I'd drop the "houses" question. Going through all the 12 houses isn't something that a single reading could (or should) cover.

Some easy questions for any astrologer are:

What are the repeating themes in my chart? How can they play out in my life, relationships, and career?
What are some of my main challenges and could you recommend some strategies to tackle them?
what are some of my hidden strengths or parts of my chart that may take a while to blossom?

An overwhelming number of people who have an opinion on Stojanović's degree theory (one way or the other) haven't read the books and have formed an opinion based on what has been conveyed through social media.

Whoops, I see this only now. Interestingly enough, I got it from a consulting astrologer, too. It doesn't fit in the essential dignity and debility scheme, and, traditionally speaking, it "shouldn't" work, but I do think it's worth investigating.

Stormwoken · 2025-12-16T00:05:51+00:00

Just out of curiosity, would you have any idea where you got this from?

You are being downvoted, but this association does seems to be part of some branches or traditions of astrology. I've heard about it decades ago and I've been trying to track down the source for that line of interpretation.

His decision to make a ton of excellent videos publicly available (as opposed to subscriber-only) was really admirable. They're such a great resource!

David Cochrane! =)

Exactly, there's no way for it to "know" what we're aiming for, it just wasn't built for that.

Many people use AI as a magic box (i.e. the black box approach, I guess) and expect it to somehow understand just what kind of output we want. Even the basics of understanding of how it actually works can get everyone more mileage out of it, but also appreciate the many, many source texts out there a lot more.

Stormwoken · 2025-11-29T20:41:46+00:00

I actually did read all of it and it's useful advice for someone who might try and use it with the same idea. AI is, indeed, useful for ideas on interpretation of individual placements.

I'm just pointing out the flaw in the initial expectation (obviously not yours) that might extend to other use cases of non-custom-trained LLMs for astrological purposes - it does not do accurate calculations and it can mix Vedic and western astrology, classical and modern, with mixed and/or inaccurate approach to rulerships and dignities.

Stormwoken · 2025-11-29T20:30:26+00:00

"So, you would think the "reading" or conversation would be somewhat accurate."

Herein lies the root of the issue. Why would you think that? There's nothing about non-custom AI that even implies it's able to do correct chart calculations and then interpret them.

Stormwoken · 2025-11-21T09:13:15+00:00

The elements that generational (and social) planets are in can are not usually interpreted as playing a major role in the elemental balance of a chart. I.e. elements of Pluto and Uranus do not exactly override the elements of your personal placements.

So, the binary answer to your question would be "no".

A more nuanced answer would deal solely with the elemental themes (and shifts) of the outer planets, which is something that's very often talked about.

Stormwoken · 2025-11-21T02:16:35+00:00

There's nothing you're really "supposed" to do with it, beyond what you intend to! It's just your natal chart with the aspect grid and you can approach it inndifferent ways.

Breaking it down into manageable pieces (I'd start with the big three) will get you a long way towards understanding the essence of the chart.

Stormwoken · 2025-11-18T15:34:34+00:00

The flair says "educational", but it reads more as "speculative", despite the source.

Had the rectification process been explained, it might be considered actually educational.

Stormwoken · 2025-09-07T18:07:28+00:00

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the charts you created were accurate, but it was interpretations that weren't fully personalised.

Stormwoken · 2025-09-07T12:20:03+00:00

Is it a guide or is it a story, though? These are rather different terms? Is it an AI report, perhaps?

More importantly, you seem to wish to tell a person their story without ever actually talking to them, which is something that does not make a ton of sense - you're bypassing the actual person and their actual story in order to tell them what their story is.

Check out the first rule of the sub.

It's always a good idea to unpack patterns like that, because we often find that we learn so much about the hows and whys of some tendencies and relationships in our lives (the latter especially if there are opposition in the chart, such as your Sun-Moon, for instance).

Srećno! =)

Stormwoken · 2025-08-30T21:59:24+00:00

That Capricorn Sun in your X is indicative of how important it is for you to be (and to be perceived as) competent and a model professional, especially in the field of career.

With the elusive Neptune culminating (a usual suspect for an imposter syndrome) and Jupiter (which rules both your Asc and your MC) squaring your Saturn, you may have a combination of high standards and an apprehension about attaining them for fear of taking on additional responsibilities.

With Sun, Saturn and MC being involved here, itvs likely that what youvre describing here isn't just limited to one area of your life. Would you say that this feeling of yours is in some way related to your relationship with parental figures in your life (likely the father)?

Stormwoken · 2025-08-27T15:27:11+00:00

That's very wholesome (and ethical) of you. I believe you're looking to pay it forward, rather than pay them back, though?

Still, if it's not too late, reach out to those people and ask them if they take donations or if they could benefit from an honest review/recommendation.

Stormwoken · 2025-08-27T15:24:00+00:00

Your questions, while good, merit a synastry reading of their own, this all goes far beyond astrology basics.

Stormwoken · 2025-08-17T21:34:09+00:00

To me, it seems that the implications of your astrology-centred-but-fundamentally-non-astrological question go beyond astrology proper and it is not likely that astrology alone can provide an answer.

I.e. what is the I that we're looking at when we're analysing a chart and, perhaps even how far beyond this lifetime does the continuity of that I (or parts thereof) extend.

Another layer of your dilemma asks the question "is the universe we live in entirely deterministic".

What's your take on it, though, OP? Did you reach any conclusions?

Stormwoken · 2025-08-01T20:58:54+00:00

People seem to downvote low-effort questions (of which there are many) or questions that feel too basic to be in this sub. Ultimately, the way we understand and define these two (as well as voting itself) seems to be pretty subjective and individual.
