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 Aries · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 5

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

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Saturn · trine, orb 0.11°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 0.33°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Venus AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.66°

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

  4. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.87°

    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.

  5. Pluto Chiron · square, orb 1.23°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 1.39°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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