AReading
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.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.13°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.62°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.12°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☽ Moon · square, orb 1.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.58°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
