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 Aquarius · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, 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.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Pluto · trine, orb 0.10°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.14°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.88°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  5. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.60°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
