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 Virgo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.18°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.64°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.95°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.84°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
