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 Sagittarius · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

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

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 7

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

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.07°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.16°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 0.22°

    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.

  4. Chiron AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.37°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  5. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 0.87°

    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.

  6. Mars MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.25°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
