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 Virgo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

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

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 4

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

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto True Node · opposition, orb 0.30°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mars AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  3. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.60°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Pluto · square, orb 0.90°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Mercury Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.45°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury True Node · opposition, orb 1.75°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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