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 Aquarius · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ 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 Leo · house 2 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.74°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.19°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.16°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.29°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.70°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 2.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
