A
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 Aries · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.28°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.53°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.64°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
