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 Capricorn · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 3

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

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.26°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.50°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Moon True Node · conjunction, orb 1.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  4. Saturn AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.88°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  5. Mercury True Node · square, orb 1.08°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 1.65°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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