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 Leo · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ 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 Gemini · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.39°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.64°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.72°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.55°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.17°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
