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 Capricorn · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.13°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.94°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.60°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.87°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.94°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.57°
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.
