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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.02°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mercury Lilith · square, orb 0.05°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.29°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.61°

    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.

  6. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.41°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
