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 Sagittarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.17°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.42°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.84°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.59°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.23°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
