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 Taurus · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  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 Taurus · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 5

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

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.14°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.37°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 0.65°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  4. Mars Lilith · square, orb 0.68°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.41°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 1.27°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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