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.
☉ Sun in Virgo · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.07°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.39°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.66°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.00°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.96°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
