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 Aquarius · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.07°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  2. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.38°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mars AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  4. Jupiter AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.31°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 0.59°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter Saturn · square, orb 0.92°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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