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 Taurus · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.02°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.15°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.18°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.33°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ 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.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.80°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
