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 Aries · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

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

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

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 5

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.20°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Saturn Lilith · trine, orb 1.05°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Pluto Lilith · square, orb 0.98°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Moon Uranus · sextile, orb 1.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 1.43°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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