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 Sagittarius · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn True Node · trine, orb 0.32°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.45°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury Uranus · sextile, orb 0.66°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.10°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Uranus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.76°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 2.05°

    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.
