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 Cancer · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ 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
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.04°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.59°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.85°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.20°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.39°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
