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 Leo · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  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 Leo · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 12

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.42°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Venus MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.57°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Chiron · trine, orb 0.76°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  4. Sun Moon · trine, orb 1.76°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  5. Mars True Node · square, orb 1.83°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Chiron MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.33°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
