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 Aquarius · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 4

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Pluto · sextile, orb 0.24°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.53°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.81°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.06°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Venus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.81°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Lilith AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.62°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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