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 Scorpio · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.09°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.50°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.76°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 2.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
