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 Capricorn · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.51°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.37°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  3. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.48°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.99°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn Neptune · trine, orb 1.34°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Venus True Node · trine, orb 2.15°

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