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 Taurus · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 2

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

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 4

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Mercury AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.33°

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

  4. Mercury Pluto · sextile, orb 0.68°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.29°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  6. Neptune Lilith · sextile, orb 0.91°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
