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 Gemini · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  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 Gemini · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Mars · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 0.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 0.20°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Jupiter Lilith · square, orb 0.42°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.50°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.80°

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