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 Leo · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 1

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

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Uranus · trine, orb 0.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.41°

    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.

  3. Jupiter Lilith · square, orb 0.44°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 0.92°

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

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.09°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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. True Node AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.25°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
