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 Cancer · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 10

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Chiron · sextile, orb 0.15°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars Chiron · square, orb 0.31°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. Jupiter True Node · trine, orb 0.51°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  4. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.27°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Sun True Node · trine, orb 1.27°

    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.
