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 Scorpio · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Mercury Neptune · sextile, orb 0.44°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Chiron Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.52°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.45°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.53°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.72°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
