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 Sagittarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.18°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.25°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.43°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
