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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 10

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mercury · square, orb 0.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.

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

  2. Pluto Lilith · trine, orb 0.61°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.17°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Jupiter · conjunction, orb 2.11°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 2.10°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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