A
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.
☉ Sun in Aquarius · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.13°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.35°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.55°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.66°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.76°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
