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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.03°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.89°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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.

  3. Jupiter Pluto · trine, orb 1.33°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 1.24°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Neptune · conjunction, orb 2.91°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 2.85°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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