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 Aquarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.05°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.64°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.93°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.47°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.53°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.71°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
