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 7

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

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  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 Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.33°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.34°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  3. Venus Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.45°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.69°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mars MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.95°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Moon Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.41°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
