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 Sagittarius · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.39°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.61°

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

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

  4. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.71°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.74°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter Saturn · square, orb 1.12°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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