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 Taurus · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Uranus · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.12°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.28°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.23°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.40°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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