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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 3

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.98°

    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.

  2. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 1.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mars True Node · square, orb 1.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 1.88°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  5. Uranus Pluto · opposition, orb 2.35°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Jupiter MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 2.52°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
