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 Capricorn · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.56°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.76°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.55°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 2.24°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
