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 Virgo · house 8

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 10

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10

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

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    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 Taurus · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.02°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Jupiter True Node · sextile, orb 0.02°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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. Lilith MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.36°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn Uranus · sextile, orb 0.55°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Chiron Lilith · square, orb 1.12°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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