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 Aries · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Uranus · opposition, orb 0.30°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.55°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Venus Jupiter · square, orb 0.79°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  4. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.38°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Moon Mercury · sextile, orb 1.17°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.54°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
