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 Scorpio · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  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 Taurus · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 0.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.60°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Chiron · sextile, orb 0.67°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 1.03°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.69°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
