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 Scorpio · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.47°

    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.

  2. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.25°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 1.15°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.94°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
