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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 10

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    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 12

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

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 8

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

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

  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.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.20°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  2. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.27°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 0.81°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 1.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 0.80°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.90°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
