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.
☉ Sun in Leo · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.35°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.32°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.55°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.89°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.42°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
