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 Taurus · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.01°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.07°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.35°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.86°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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 ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.16°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
