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 Pisces · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 4

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

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.18°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Lilith · square, orb 0.52°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Pluto Chiron · square, orb 0.57°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.70°

    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.

  5. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 0.88°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  6. True Node AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.84°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
