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.
☉ Sun in Capricorn · house 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.14°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.27°
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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.65°
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.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.99°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.37°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
