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 Scorpio · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Uranus · trine, orb 0.03°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Mercury · square, orb 0.24°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.

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

  3. Venus Uranus · square, orb 0.40°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.56°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.80°

    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.
