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 Leo · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.03°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Jupiter Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.17°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.53°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.37°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.65°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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