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 Sagittarius · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.73°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.73°
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.
☽ Moon ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.63°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.28°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
