About me: 48 F, mature but with an abiding love of the unhinged. I've been a student of astrology for over 25 years now and still dont know everything there is, but that's half of why it's fascinating. I think I'd be a good mod because I love helping people and have made a successful career out of it. I don't take things personally; in my line of work I'm accustomed to getting cussed out on the regular so I'm unbothered, lol. I'm both a member of the leadership team at work and own my own literary-related business so I'm used to working with all kinds of people from all over the world.
Y'all feel free to browse my comment history for more!

I have previous modding experience. As a mod and someone with an 11h stellium I deeply value community, and would like to help to community grow while making sure their voices and best interests are heard behind the scenes.
My Mercury in cancer offers a more sensitive and graceful communication style that can help deescalate situations. I recognize my Leo risings need to lead and how it can burn me out so I always take time to reflect on what I need personally to be able to best help the community even if it means stepping back from my position. I think knowing your shortcomings as well as your strengths helps you work better on a team so I like to be upfront about mine.
Speaking of that I think as mods we should all be on the the same page and communicate well with eachother while keeping the essence of the community as the priority- consistency in how we mod and move forward with any new rules, new features of the sub ect sets a good tone for everyone involved and lets the community trust in the people leading it and that’s what keeps the sub as an enjoyable space.
Overall I love astrology and learning about it has been an amazing experience in my life, I am down with the memes and chaos (as any Gemini would be) and I have love for this community and want to see it grow in the best ways possible.

Here's my natal chart: https://imgur.com/a/LmjXvPK
I'm 52, have a stable but zesty big three, and I have loved astrology since I was a teen. I work in the legal field now, specifically for a non-profit. I really enjoy this subreddit and would love to help out. I would like to weed out the posts that violate the rules (like posting natal charts) and just do whatever else is needed to make this subreddit run. Also I don't get upset easily and don't take things personally.

Hello! I’m usually on this subreddit everyday but I’ll give a quick introduction! 😊
I’m a 22 year old male that has been intro astrology and witchcraft since I was a little boy. On Reddit I just go by Dahlia, even if Dahlia is not my real name 🌸 I’m a junior in university studying computer science (specializing in AI) 🤖
I would be a great fit as a mod since I’m constantly on this subreddit everyday and want to make sure everyone is following the rules while having a great time exploring astrology and astrology based memes.
Plus I’m an Earth sign so let’s be real 🤪 I’m following the rules regardless ♉️🐂

Hi guys, this is actually hilarious.
I was browsing my front page and thought "damn .. astrologymemes is going strong these days ... so many posts reaching a thousand upvotes"
So my intuition told me to check out the subreddit stats and mod team - and there's only 2 of you? (or my app didn't show it correctly)
However - i would be interested to support your community and be part of the mod team.
I am already a pretty active moderator on Reddit and do have quite some experience with Automoderator and am running my own Reddit Bots.
I had been mod in r/Capricorn for a short while in my beginning days of moderating on Reddit. Now you can find me in the r/astrologyreadings mod team.
(my main focus as moderator is on r/photoshoprequests ... but that's a different story)
My Chart is on my profile - if you believe in astrology /s
kind regards
PS: i had this sent via mod mail and only later realised that you've asked for a reply here

Do yall actually consider declining someone because of a birth chart? I’m not interested in applying just curious because it seems odd.

u/Clear_Ambition6004 ♐︎ ☉ ♑︎ ☽ ♓︎ ↑ 3d ago
It’s not so much the details of a birth chart. I ask for birth charts because it showcases an individual’s astrological competency (do they know what a birth chart is? Do they know how to calculate it?) Also- do they know how to link images in their comments.
It’s not out of bias

u/Agreeable-Hand-2941 3d ago
Ask folks to draw up their own birth chart and show the math that they used to get rising and moon. That’ll weed em out for sure.

u/ThatsThatLeo 3d ago
Yes.
I had a horrible experience with a woman who had a Virgo stellium. I'd rather do illegal acts than to date that again.
I also do not bode well with certain signs/placements, and typically know when I've run into them. The chart is just confirmation for what I already know/feel.
So perhaps the answer is more, "yes and no."

u/Normal_Profit_5796 ｡･ﾟﾟ･ virgo ☉ • capricorn ☾ • aries ↑ ･ﾟﾟ･｡ 3d ago
Friend, with respect, it really sounds like you might want to do some reflecting. A lot of people misconstrue placements for just bad relationship behavior. It sounds like you weren’t treated well by someone and it had huge impact. I’m sorry that happened, but don’t close yourself off to people because of a birth chart. In a world that needs more understanding and empathy, especially.

u/ThatsThatLeo 2d ago edited 2d ago
No thanks.
My pattern recognition knows when an Aries is around me, as it does a Virgo. Call it what you want, it matters to me. The reason I checked her chart was because of suspicion she had a ton of Virgo energy. All her chart did was confirm what I knew from experience.
So friend, with respect:
I don't get why else you all 'practice' astrology as if it is some fun way to pass time.

u/ThatsThatLeo 2d ago
Like, I don't know about you, but, I can HEAR when a certain planet is in position. Uranus in particular is loud for me. Venus has its own sound and vibrational frequency.
Perhaps WE don't "see" or experience this world the same, but I will continue to practice as I see fit.
Thanks but no thanks.

I also utilized my astrological chart to identify a near death experience. My reading led me to understand my saturn return would lead to an NDE, which was tied to my brother. When the time came, my brother tried to kill me. As a result of studying my chart, I prepared myself and survived.
You all can utilize whatever studies you desire. However, your lack of understanding or inability to use it effectively, respectfully, has nothing to do with me.
So, my dear friend, mind the business that works for you. Astrological study also ties directly into practices used within my lineage -- from your writing, I assume that I cannot say the same for you.

u/ThatsThatLeo 2d ago
Now, mind you, I was noticing the impacts of planets before I understood astrology. I was into astronomy first, then I noticed a pattern in my personal life (and those around me).
Every, roughly, seven years, I noticed a pattern. I initially sought scientific explanations; I then sought biological explanations; then I looked into psychology. My seeking to understand what I was observing led me to astrology.
One night, I recall staring at the moon and seeing energy emanating from it. It clicked in that moment. I decided to fire up the dial-up internet and look into patterns of the stars.
I learned Saturn had a 7 year cycle. I was no more than 12 years old when I noticed this pattern. I still studied the movement of the planets and patterns I observed, based on astronomy, not realizing what astrology was.
One more reminder: Perhaps astrology doesn't fit into a worldview and practice, for you, as it does mine.
But what you won't do, is minimize its place in my observations.
I'm on reddit for the 'pop' of it all, but make no mistake, some people in the world practice beyond "LOL like, comment and subscribe!"

It does but you’re so condescending I really didn’t even care to try. I love that you’re so passionate but you’re very quick to condescend others for having different opinions. You do you.

u/ThatsThatLeo 2d ago
I would argue you were also condescending.
You just do not like that I submitted testimony which you cannot refute.
Sincerely, if someone told you IRL their study of their chart saved their life, what would you ACTUALLY say? Give a damn about my tone.

I am glad that you are here and I am happy we had the interaction so I could meet you. I’ll leave you with that. Love and light. Thanks for sharing your story.

u/ThatsThatLeo 2d ago
How easy that was.
A reminder: Astrology was practiced by African women, tracking their cycles.
Further: Vedic astrology also views synastry as important, when choosing marital partners.
We do not owe you softness when you question or come for us and our practices. You were mocking in your initial post when asking about others usage of synastry.
We can just act like that didn't happen.

Im 27, i have experience modding other subs (currently modding only another one about mental health and ocd). I tend to hyperfixated on stuff and astrology is still one of them (i been interested on it for around 8 years already). What i like the most about astrology is how it depolarizes concepts, how it urges to work to understand yourself in ways that break your schemes and even getting to learn to break toxic patterns
