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 Scorpio · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 12

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

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. True Node MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.49°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 0.72°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.71°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 0.73°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.28°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  6. Moon Uranus · square, orb 1.99°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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