A
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.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the things done because they are wanted.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.05°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.19°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.38°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.53°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
