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 Sagittarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 7

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

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.27°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Venus · opposition, orb 1.16°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.92°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.90°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  6. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.17°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
