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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
