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 Libra · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.24°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.55°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.90°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.79°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.45°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
