and press "Submit Message". The topic then appears at the
top of the message board
How to respond to a message: Each message, when you open it

text displayed and the reply box. Insert the response and
press "Submit Message". The reply will remain under the continuation
of that particular thread.
How to address a post to a specific author:
Place their name in parenthesis () at the start of the Subject
line in the message box. If an author's name currently exists
in the subject line, highlight the previous name and type

you can click on the message bar and the topics alone will

in front of the reply.
All information on the message board is subject
to disappear without notice. If you see something you like,
you should make a copy for yourself.
How to request an
astrology reading
Astrology certainly can help us to identify
propensities and potential (natal), trends and cycles (transits)
or how people relate to each other (composite or synastry).
Remember that we always have free will and the power to direct
and change our lives.
Post a new thread, specifying a request for
an astrological reading in the subject line. Within the message,
provide details of:
1.
The URL for your natal chart
(see FAQ's below on creating and posting a chart URL) or
2.
FULL birth data (month,
day, year, time and place)
3.
One specific area of interest
or one question for other members to address.
For tarot, or other readings, please request
"Reading" in the subject line and the particular reader may
ask for additional information if required
Note:
It is deemed unethical to read a third party's chart without
their prior knowledge or permission.
All here are volunteers and offer their insight out of compassion
for others and a love of the metaphysical. It may take a little
time for a reply to a chart request, so please have patience.
We encourage people to fully participate on the board, so
if you have been active on the board in the past, your request
will be taken much more seriously.
Please reply to the readings within the same
thread where possible, including addendums, corrections, feedback,
clarification and thanks.
How
to create and post Chart URLs
1.
Go to Astrodienst (www.astro.com)
and create a natal chart drawing
2.
While viewing the freshly
made chart, go to the "Location" or "Address"
box at the top of your browser. This text is your URL for
the natal chart
3.
Place your cursor at the
beginning of the URL, highlight it, and then COPY the URL
(press the CTRL key — COMMAND key for Mac users - and
the letter "C" key at the same time).
4.
Now go back to the Astrology Zone®
Message Board. In the message box, PASTE this URL (press the
CTRL key — COMMAND key for Mac users - and the letter
"V" key at the same time).

How often
does Susan visit the Astrology Zone® Message
Board
Susan frequents the board occasionally, although
she has very little time currently to actively participate
in discussions. Writing Astrology Zone forecasts takes two
full weeks for her to write each month, so you can imagine
why Susan can so rarely visit the board. She has created the
board for us.
You can study astrology with Susan Miller on
Barnes & Noble's University, which is a free on-line class
given in alternate months. For more information, go to www.bn.com and look for "on line classes." Look
under the section called Life Improvement and you will see
the free five-week class, "Astrology: Planets & Possibilities"
You will not have to come to the class at any set time; the
class is a virtual class. You get to print out all the free
material and post questions on the Barnes & Noble dedicated
message board set up exclusively for the class. It's fun and
easy and it will provide you a way to meet other like-minded
people, interested in astrology. Susan personally answers
students" questions about astrology on the Barnes & Noble
class board.
When
are the monthly reports posted?
The monthly horoscopes are always posted by
the 1st of the month and are accessible by clicking
on the "forecasts" icon on the Astrology Zone®
home page. Please be patient -- it will always show up by
the first of the month. Should there be an emergency which
delays the forecasts, we will notify you at the top of the
message board page. Please refrain from continually asking
when they might be posted.
