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 Cancer · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 0.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.10°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 0.16°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.35°

    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.

  5. Jupiter Chiron · opposition, orb 1.25°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  6. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 1.78°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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