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 Aquarius · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 7

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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 Taurus · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 5

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Neptune True Node · sextile, orb 0.51°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.96°

    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.

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.43°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  5. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 2.16°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.94°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
