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 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  2. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 0.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  3. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.46°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 1.33°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Lilith · opposition, orb 2.53°

    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.

  6. Mars Neptune · trine, orb 2.09°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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