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 Scorpio · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.02°

    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.

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.67°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 0.80°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.72°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.74°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Uranus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.78°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
