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 Aries · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 6

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  2. Uranus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.74°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.04°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.48°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 1.60°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.97°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
