A
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 Pisces · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.67°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.77°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.33°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.27°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.00°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
