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 7

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

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 10

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.06°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  2. Mercury Uranus · trine, orb 0.28°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  3. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.34°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 0.38°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.66°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.56°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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