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 Libra · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. 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.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 4

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 0.12°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 0.92°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Saturn · sextile, orb 0.88°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Pluto True Node · opposition, orb 1.02°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 1.46°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Neptune · sextile, orb 1.17°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
