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 Aries · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 0.32°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Saturn MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.39°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.47°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Chiron Lilith · sextile, orb 0.33°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Chiron · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.12°

    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.
