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 8

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

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

  2. 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.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 7

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

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 12

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Venus · sextile, orb 0.12°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.21°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
