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 7

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

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 8

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

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 12

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 0.52°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.56°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  4. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.74°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Mercury · square, orb 1.32°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.

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

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.06°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
