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 Sagittarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.08°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Mercury Mars · trine, orb 0.83°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 1.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.79°

    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.

  5. Sun Lilith · opposition, orb 2.32°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Moon Mars · square, orb 2.14°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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