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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.39°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.17°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 2.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
