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 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, 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.

  2. Moon in Leo · house 1

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

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 4

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

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Saturn Neptune · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.15°

    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.

  4. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.71°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. Neptune Pluto · trine, orb 0.82°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.51°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
