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 Capricorn · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mars Uranus · trine, orb 0.28°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Venus True Node · sextile, orb 0.27°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Moon Neptune · square, orb 0.66°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · sextile, orb 0.45°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun Neptune · sextile, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
