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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.56°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.80°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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 ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.07°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.20°
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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.06°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.40°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
