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 Sagittarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.44°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.86°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.30°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.73°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 2.07°
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.
♄ Saturn △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.45°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
