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 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.12°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  2. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Mercury Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.13°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Neptune Pluto · trine, orb 1.10°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  5. Venus Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.68°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.43°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
