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 Virgo · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. 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.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.30°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Neptune MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.04°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 1.15°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury Saturn · square, orb 1.32°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 1.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Moon Mercury · trine, orb 1.62°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

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