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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 10

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the public record of a life.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Pluto · sextile, orb 0.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars Uranus · square, orb 0.56°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun True Node · trine, orb 1.18°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 1.07°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus Saturn · opposition, orb 1.85°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 2.36°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
