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 Sagittarius · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.07°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Mars · sextile, orb 0.35°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.91°

    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.

  4. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.88°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Venus Chiron · square, orb 1.05°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Moon MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.46°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
