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 Leo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.75°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.76°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.99°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.89°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.88°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.65°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
