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 Leo

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  4. Venus in Cancer

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Capricorn

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  7. Saturn in Cancer

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  12. Chiron in Taurus

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.59°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.79°

    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.

  3. Venus Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.17°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 1.12°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Saturn Uranus · opposition, orb 1.30°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Sun Moon · square, orb 1.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.

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