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 Scorpio · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 8

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.16°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.28°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.49°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Pluto Lilith · square, orb 0.40°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Neptune · trine, orb 0.77°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 1.53°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
