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 4

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

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

  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 Scorpio · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

    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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.68°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.52°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Moon True Node · conjunction, orb 1.21°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.97°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 1.52°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 2.33°

    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.
