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 Aries · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 5

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

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.12°

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

  2. Saturn Uranus · opposition, orb 0.18°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  3. Neptune Lilith · sextile, orb 0.13°

    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.

  4. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.23°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Lilith · square, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Chiron Lilith · sextile, orb 0.35°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
