B. Prohibited Content
Duplicate Content
We’re excited to feature content that’s fresh, thoughtful, and written just for the ISAA Community Blog. It’s fine to revisit topics you’ve explored elsewhere, but please don’t copy and paste from your website, social media, or other platforms. Instead, rework your ideas into something new and engaging for our readers. We’re building a shared library of sidereal wisdom—not reposting what’s already out there.
AI Generated Content
We ask that all submissions come from you, not an AI. While tools can help with editing or brainstorming, the final piece should reflect your own voice and experience. We may use AI detection tools when reviewing posts. This space is for real stories, insights, and perspectives from real people—and we can’t wait to read yours.
III. Blog Submissions
Include
Please Submit the following with your content:
- Suggested Title and Subtitle

Author Bio
Every blog post contains an “About the Author” section at the bottom of their post. All contributors can provide a brief bio (3 to 4 sentences) in the 3rd person, which includes things like their name and astrological practices, and any other information they’d like. However, only ISAA Student, Professional, and Founding Members may provide links to their websites and social media accounts.
IV. Editing and Approval
To help keep the blog clear and easy to read, all submissions go through a light editorial review. Our editors may fix small things like spelling, grammar, or formatting, and they might add subheadings (like H2s or H3s) to organize your post and make it more reader-friendly.
We’ll always do our best to preserve your unique voice and message. Our goal is to support your writing, not change it. However, because ISAA is an educational organization, it’s important that all published content meets basic standards for clarity, readability, and professionalism in English. This helps ensure that our blog is a trusted resource for readers from all backgrounds and levels of experience.
V. Respectful Expression
We welcome editorial and opinion pieces, including those that explore political or religious themes as they relate to sidereal astrology. However, content that strongly promotes or criticizes specific political candidates, religious figures, or ideologies may be returned with revision requests or declined.
The ISAA values free expression and diverse viewpoints, and we aim to foster a respectful, inclusive space where astrologers of all traditions and backgrounds feel welcome. When writing, please keep our community spirit in mind and consider how your words might be received by a broad and varied audience.
VI. Publication Rights and Sharing
By submitting your work to the ISAA Sidereal Astrology Community Blog, you agree to grant ISAA the right to publish and host your article on our website. We encourage you to share it widely! Feel free to post links to your article on your own website, in newsletters, or across your social media platforms.
However, to keep the content unique to the ISAA blog, we ask that you don’t repost the full article elsewhere (including on your own site). Instead, you’re welcome to share a short excerpt with a link back to the full piece on our blog. This helps preserve the value of our growing archive and ensures your contribution gets the attention it deserves right here in our community space.
