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.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.31°
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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.30°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.80°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.91°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.13°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
