A
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 Scorpio · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.15°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.91°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.54°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.69°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.12°
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.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.72°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
