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 Aquarius · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 1
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 1 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.24°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.39°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
