Call me crazy, but I’ve decided to re-open ‘Ask Archie’. This is for quick questions. Just leave a comment in the box at the bottom, and I’ll reply, on this page. I’ll answer questions relating to anything to do with prediction, though don’t expect answers to detailed questions about specific conditions in Vedic astrology.
You can ask questions about astrology, divination, tarot, spirituality or any other related topic. Though try to make your question short. My reply will be similarly brief, and I won’t be spending more than a few minutes on it. I cannot enter into a detailed conversation about my answer.
I don’t guarantee that I’ll reply to every question. Questions that are quick to answer, of interest to other readers, or of a technical nature are most likely to be answered.
There is a moderation function, so when you submit a question, it won’t appear on this page until I’ve moderated it. When it does appear, your email address will NOT be visible on this page. If a reply doesn’t appear after 48 hours, then I have decided that I don’t want to answer it, and please don’t be offended.
So , for whatever reason yuou have chosen to wind up your site , I will miss your articles. Anyway , all the best for your new endevours
Hi archie:
I’m in serious trouble!!!! February 2011 has been the worst financial month in 14 years of my business. After struggling but making it through the recession, business has suddenly gone to nearly zero once february has begun. If something doesn’t change, I lose it all. my DOB is 1/9/65, 1:43pm, ludhiana india.
Hi archie: my email the last one above. But I realized that I didn’t ask a question. I wanted to know if I am going to make it through and will march be a better month. Thanks. I know you don’t answer everyone’s questions but hope you will answer this one:)
Hey Archie,
I am an Aries, I was born on March 29th 1995 @ 3:29 pm. I am not very independent and I’m awful at any sports.. I don’t really have any true talents and I’m not wild, although I’m very tempered and like to debate.. all I’m trying to say is that I don’t feel like a true Aries and I would really like to know the true key points of an Aries and maybe some reasons why I’m not a lot like one.
Thanks
Are you male or female? Where were you born?
I am a female and I was born in The Pas Manitoba Canada
I find it interesting that your studies start with the adoption of a practice that far exceeds 17th century Europe or even Europeans. How do you arrive at an understanding as a whole without studying the very entities that gave us what WE call astrology and they just innately understood and were connected to because it is. Ancient Egyptians otherwise known as Nubians, are the aboriginal beings that naturally lived “astrology”. Birds don’t try to fly. Fish don’t try to swim… Just curious because my mother made astrology part of my childhood lessons and studying with those that I consider masters, helped me understand and respect the origin of astrology as well give me a sense of honor as a Nubian.
Hi! I was wondering if u accept payment through western union?
Hi Archie, I am a Capricorn born within 4 days of Dec 28, with moon sign in Leo and ascendent sign in Libra. I am trying to schedule a plastic surgery date in January 2013. Do you have any recommends/advice on which date might be best to have the operation? Thank you.
Kate, you haven’t given me much to work on, but I have a feeling that you’re still not 100% sure that you’re going about it the right way, and in the absence of other information, I would suggest that January might be a little too early.
Thank you, Archie. I wasn’t sure which information to provide as I am still new to astrology. If the surgery is on breasts, are there any important dates in January/February that one should choose or avoid?
Kate,
There are a number of things to consider. Firstly there is the question of why you are having plastic surgery, or whether you need it. In one sense that’s something for you to decide, bearing in mind that if there is nothing wrong with your body the default answer should almost certainly be no. From an astrological point of view, it’s possible that you are going through a phase, where you feel the need to change the way you look. Perhaps this phase will end? If and when you reach the stage where nothing will stop you having the surgery, then you have to consider timing.
Hi Archie,
I’m an Aries and my boyfriend is Aquarius, same age (39). Both have daughters the same age (18), and to make the long story short, our lives are very similar and we were both looking for someone tho share a life. We have plans even thought we’re not been together for a long time. Just recently everything changed and I don’t know what to think, say or do. I had a problem and did not go to him immediately for help (I’ve been by myself for so long taking care of my problems) which made him upset but I responded and accepted his help, and then, he changed completely. Almost dissapeared when I needed him the most. Has he got “cold feet” on me this quick? I’m really sad!Thank you so much for your opinion.
Elisabetta,
Thanks for the question. I don’t think it’s particularly useful to look at the star signs of you and your boyfriend. Yes, all things being equal Aries and Aquarius are a good combination, even if Aries can find Aquarius to be a bit too cool and rational. Instead I set up a chart for the time that I read and understood your question.
In the context of this question, I get the impression that your boyfriend is being the emotional one, in spite of him being an Aquarius. Very recently his position has changed, and in some respects not for the better. He feels less secure and less confident, and at the same time he wants to be on his own turf. And in terms of your relative positions, it seems that right now you are the older and more mature one, even though you’re the same ages!
So it’s possible that one reason he’s not getting in touch with you is because, in some respects, he doesn’t feel strong enough to do so. Yet he also knows that you are not going away, and that in the short-term at least, he needs to get back in touch with you. Which means that from your point of view, it’s a waiting game. Yet if you haven’t had any proper contact by the end of November, it’s perhaps time to review the situation.
Thanks Archie for your time. Yesterday I met his father, in a informal way, we went to an off road event all day. I get the impression that he needs his fathers approval on me or at least is very concerned about he might think or say about our relationship, he had very veeery serious problems in the past and had to work hard to get back on his feet. His family runs a big business in the city we live in and they are pretty well known. I think I get the picture ( I’m a proletarian) I’m not worried because I know time will make things clear for everybody. I don’t have an economic interest other than sharing my life with a hard working person. As I mentioned before we’ve been together for a short time, about 3 months now, and I understand why they might be cautious. I do care for him and would like this to work as we both deserve. I see what you mentioned about him not feeling strong enough, is this something that you think is just temporary?I’m very condescendent and I don’t know if this side of me will get me in trouble, since most people get the wrong idea, being condescendent is not being weak or to have no character. Thanks again for reading and taking time to answer my questions

Apologies for the years of not responding. Feel free to ask your questions.
Dear Friend,
I’m without a job. Can you please tell me when can I find a job.
Dob – November 4, 1976 Time – 13.38 hrs Place – Vadodara, Gujarat, India
Undergoing Sun-Jupiter period.
God bless, Vh
You’re a at a stage in your life where you feel that you don’t have much control, and events that are out of your hands can have a big impact on you – for better or for worse. I think your own position is better than it was a few days or weeks ago – you might not have a job, but you can see clearer. Perhaps you have been focusing on one thing, to the exclusion of all others. Or you have been listening too hard to you friends. But at the end of week things should be even clearer. From a money point of view, the situation is improving, and some kind of financial benefit seems to be coming your way.
Looking at you Mahadasa, as you say, you are in the Sun Mahadasa, Jupiter sub-period. Your Sun is in the 10th House of career, but it is conjunct Mars and in Libra. In other words, its condition could be better. Maybe the Sun needs to be strengthened? Perhaps by performing good deeds on Sundays? In May 2019 the sub-rulership switches, to Saturn, and Saturn is the strongest planet in your chart. I feel confident that in a year’s time your career situation will be much improved. But even in the shorter term, the worst is behind you, and with the right moves on your part you can get a job. Also, a surprise event made lead to a career breakthrough.
Dear Friend,
Inspite of time constraints you could give a brief idea regarding the problem and upcoming period of sub rulership. I’m grateful and appreciate the effort undertaken by you.
When you get some extra time, please try taking a deeper look at my case. The last few years have taken a toll on my personal and professional life. Even financially it has been not that great.
Kindly let know the possible remedies for strengthening the Sun.
Go bless you and your family in abundance.
Hi Archie,
I am thinking of selling my home to make a career-change and train to be a nurse…am I being stupid?
My birth details are: April 22nd 1985 10:30AM, Ilford (UK)
Jas,
Thanks for the question. I have looked at the question in three ways. I have cast your Western and Vedic horoscopes, and also set up a chart for the moment I understood you question. Overall, it’s early days. You’re not really in a position to make a decision, and you don’t know all the facts. And I suspect that in the end you won’t sell your home… at least not to train to be a nurse. Also, right now Saturn is going through your Sixth House, which is connected with health. So at the moment health matters are important, and it is not surprising that you want to be a nurse. However in a year or two Saturn will move out of your Sixth House, and I think you’ll start focusing on something else. Is it unwise to sell your house and train to be a nurse? Well it may be a good idea to sell your house – depending on your view of the property market. But training to be a nurse is probably not a good idea at this stage in your life.
Thanks Archie!
