Please tell us less astrologically informed patrons the reasons why this chart is so strange?

[Feathers in Hair]

Because of the concentration, DJ?

I'm horrible at charts. Here's mine from the same engine, though!

Rising Sign is in 02 Degrees Cancer
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life, however -- once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self- confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security -- in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

The sensitive is correct- not so much the 'familiar surroundings' part. I do easily open up to strangers. My mom's very important to me, but I've had too many homes as a child to care about any one in particular.

Sun is in 04 Degrees Libra.
Very sociable, you enjoy being with others and definitely prefer not be alone. Warm and affectionate, you go out of your way to make others like you. You despise ugliness, for you being surrounded by beauty and harmony is a necessity of life. You prefer fine clothing, an attractive home and pleasant surroundings wherever you are. Your refined tastes apply to music and to art as well. At times, you are very indecisive you waver and falter when forced to make a choice because you have the ability to see both sides of any question. The positive part of this is that you are very fair-minded and can be trusted to settle disputes. Your greatest challenge is to take any one- on-one encounter and make the most of it.

I'm not sure if I despise ugliness. Nastiness, yes. The indecisive part is correct- wait, maybe it isn't- no, wait...

Moon is in 21 Degrees Sagittarius.
An idealist, you prefer the grand, the beautiful, the good and the noble. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. Very curious by nature, you enjoy traveling and learning about other peoples and cultures. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. You are independent and free, and you want others to be that way, too. Optimistic, buoyant and cheerful, others like to have you around. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.

'Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living." That's a nice way of saying that I'm completely lacking in grounding. This seems 'right'.

Mercury is in 15 Degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste -- your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.

Feathers! Wait, sorry... Thought I saw my name, there! This part rings true, also, but I wonder how much of that is simply me wanting to be diplomatic and hating conflict.

Venus is in 13 Degrees Libra.
A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone. Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!

Especially this Valentines Day, when I can feel my heart whining, it's important for me to remember about not compromising.

Mars is in 01 Degrees Leo.
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot of you, you respond positively and will work hard in order to maintain their respect. But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic, arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you meet as a personal affront. You are very stubborn about your right to live your life according to your own principles.

I'm not sure about this one. I respond best when people expect little of me, and I'm not sure if I have enough pride to feel threatened!

Jupiter is in 29 Degrees Leo.
You must be proud of all that you do in order to grow and develop. You enjoy being totally honest and aboveboard and you revel in the admiration and respect you receive from others due to your high- minded, upright way of life. Make sure, though, that your natural tendency to boast and show off is based on your actual accomplishments. Don't fall prey to self-exaggeration or arrogance. You truly do like outrageous spectacles and grand jolly times and will go out of your way to make them a reality.

Hmm... I'm starting to think that anything trying to combine me with Leo is inaccurate.

Saturn is in 19 Degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self- esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist.

Abstract concepts and reasoning is what I am! I'm very critical of myself, but others seem safe from it.

Uranus is in 18 Degrees Scorpio.
You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Not sure about this. My peer group is prone to confronting life at its deepest and most meaningful levels, but most of my peer group consists of RF.

Neptune is in 17 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Hmmm... Again, not sure about this one. I'm all for humanitarian efforts, though!

Pluto is in 18 Degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments -- they will not be entered into lightly.

Errr... yay?

N. Node is in 08 Degrees Virgo.
You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

Very happy with leaving leadership to others. I don't think I'm very fussy, though I'm all for loyalty. But I don't think I have perfectionistic tendancies!

[Luke Wolf]

I found the chart to be way off on some things. So off, it didn't apply in anyway. Actually, none of mine was close.
What was way off though was:

Saturn is in 05 Degrees Sagittarius.
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing.

Respect traditional laws and authority figures and law institutions? Me? That sight must have replaced mine with someone elses.
Here is the chart:

Some astrologer said she was bewildered/confused when she saw my chart, she didn't say why, but maybe she was trying to hype things up. I'm pretty sure theres nothing special about it though. I just think it looks strange.

[Buttercup]

I didn't think mine sounded very much like me either. And the Saturn in Sagitarius was the exact same quote for me as well Luke Wolf. I have had a chart done before that I thought sounded quite a lot like me. Guess it depends on who's writing it up.

I have always had a fascination for astrology even though I'm a Christian. I wouldn't follow it as a guide program for my life but it's interesting nonetheless.

[Feathers in Hair]

That's true, Buttercup. I've often wondered if a 'personalized' birthchart might be interesting- like one being done for you by a friend- but I wonder how much would be the actual 'astrology' and how much it would be of them knowing your nature.

I agree with not following it as a guide program. It is fascinating to see how some people's 'signs' match some and not others. I sometimes wonder about my own sign, both in the Western and Chinese traditions. The descriptions suit me perfectly, but I wonder how much is just that my temperment wants them to be suited.
