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.

  1. Sun in Scorpio · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.20°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.96°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.13°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  4. Mercury Uranus · opposition, orb 1.50°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. True Node Chiron · square, orb 1.21°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Saturn Lilith · square, orb 1.73°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
