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 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 12

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

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 7

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

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 0.75°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Neptune · trine, orb 1.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Saturn Pluto · square, orb 0.97°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  4. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.94°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Neptune · square, orb 1.20°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Pluto Chiron · square, orb 1.42°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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