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 Aries · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 4

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 7

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

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 1

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

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.26°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Venus Pluto · square, orb 0.38°

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

  3. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 0.92°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.71°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus True Node · sextile, orb 1.01°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. True Node Lilith · square, orb 1.05°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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