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 Virgo · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Libra · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.40°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Jupiter Chiron · opposition, orb 1.10°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  3. True Node AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 1.01°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Lilith · opposition, orb 1.60°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Venus Mars · sextile, orb 1.38°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
