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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 11 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.60°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.06°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.27°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.25°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
