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 Capricorn · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ 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.
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.63°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.40°
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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.55°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
