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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.07°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  2. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.31°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Pluto MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.45°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Moon · sextile, orb 0.52°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.07°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Jupiter Uranus · sextile, orb 0.81°

    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.
