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 Capricorn · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon True Node · trine, orb 0.23°

    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.

  2. Uranus MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.32°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Lilith AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.47°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 1.26°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  6. Sun Moon · square, orb 1.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.

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