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 Leo · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  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 Aries · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.31°

    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.

  3. Venus Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.55°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Sun Lilith · opposition, orb 1.77°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Chiron AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.22°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
