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 Aries · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.40°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.42°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
