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 Cancer · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 12

    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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

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

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn True Node · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Jupiter Lilith · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.83°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Chiron · opposition, orb 1.59°

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

  5. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.60°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 2.12°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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