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 Sagittarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 1

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

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.34°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  2. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.41°

    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 MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.96°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Uranus · sextile, orb 1.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 1.68°

    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.

  6. Venus Pluto · sextile, orb 1.12°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
