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 Leo · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.18°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  2. Jupiter Uranus · sextile, orb 0.35°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Mars · opposition, orb 1.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Chiron MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.09°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Moon Mars · square, orb 1.25°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.49°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
