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 Scorpio · house 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
