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 Leo · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mercury · sextile, orb 1.03°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.47°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Pluto Chiron · opposition, orb 1.66°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Moon Chiron · square, orb 1.96°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.59°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus True Node · conjunction, orb 2.03°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
