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 Aries · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · opposition, orb 0.03°

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

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

  2. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.51°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. True Node Lilith · square, orb 0.33°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mars Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.54°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.43°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Moon True Node · trine, orb 1.65°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
