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 Virgo · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.03°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.53°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.49°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.83°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.38°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.35°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
