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 Capricorn · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 10

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

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 12

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    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.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Neptune · opposition, orb 0.07°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.16°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 0.23°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges 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 Pluto · square, orb 0.47°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.50°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter Saturn · square, orb 0.94°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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