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 Libra · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  2. Mercury MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Mercury · opposition, orb 1.23°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mars MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.00°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  5. Moon Mars · square, orb 1.23°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Jupiter True Node · opposition, orb 1.51°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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