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 Scorpio · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Lilith · opposition, orb 0.44°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mercury Lilith · opposition, orb 0.48°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Venus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.43°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.92°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.18°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 1.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
