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 Capricorn · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 1

At the threshold, before anything is said.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects
