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 Cancer · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 7

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

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  2. Moon Saturn · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.49°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars True Node · square, orb 0.73°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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