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 Gemini · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  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.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · sextile, orb 0.01°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Venus Lilith · opposition, orb 0.17°

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

  3. Saturn Neptune · trine, orb 0.16°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.26°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.02°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 0.91°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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