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 Leo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.53°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.50°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.98°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.99°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.83°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 2.17°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
