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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.07°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.55°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.40°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.40°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.95°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
