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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 1

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

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun True Node · sextile, orb 0.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Mars · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon True Node · trine, orb 0.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Chiron · sextile, orb 0.61°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.84°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.92°

    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.
