Reading

Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.

  1. Sun in Virgo · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.07°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  2. Pluto Lilith · square, orb 0.07°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  3. Mercury Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.40°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. True Node Lilith · sextile, orb 0.59°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn Neptune · opposition, orb 1.70°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 1.87°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
