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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.60°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.79°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.73°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.66°
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.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 2.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
