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 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.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.01°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.14°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.36°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.52°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
