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 Scorpio · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ 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.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.08°
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.
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.44°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.55°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.03°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.06°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.91°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
