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 Leo · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.32°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Pluto Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.63°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.68°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.66°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Chiron AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.97°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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