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 Capricorn · house 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ 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.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.14°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.63°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.86°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
