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 Capricorn · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  2. 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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.07°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Pluto MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.53°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 0.48°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 0.49°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  5. Jupiter Chiron · sextile, orb 0.61°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Neptune Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.97°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
