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 Cancer · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.22°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.23°
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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.67°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.33°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
