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 Taurus · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.21°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 0.91°

    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.

  4. Mars Saturn · sextile, orb 0.78°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. Uranus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.96°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 1.56°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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