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 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the daily traffic of information.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · trine, orb 0.35°

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

  2. Sun Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.55°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 1.05°

    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. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.17°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Jupiter Uranus · sextile, orb 1.25°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 2.17°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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