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 Taurus · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.39°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.39°
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.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.45°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.73°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 1.27°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
