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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 12

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

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 1

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 2

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

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.31°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.57°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.33°

    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.

  4. Jupiter AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.82°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.20°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.51°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
