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 Libra · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 12

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus True Node · trine, orb 0.16°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.25°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  3. Moon Lilith · opposition, orb 0.37°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.45°

    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.

  5. Mars Pluto · square, orb 0.70°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  6. True Node Chiron · opposition, orb 0.65°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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