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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ 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 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 11 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.13°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.16°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.54°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.61°
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 △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.61°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
