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 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 10
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.27°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.54°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.25°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.81°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.78°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
