A
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 Aries · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 6 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.05°
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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.56°
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.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.61°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.59°
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.
