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 Capricorn · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  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 Aries · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.56°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.59°

    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.

  3. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 1.34°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 1.69°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.71°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. Uranus True Node · opposition, orb 1.72°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
