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 Pisces · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.70°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.79°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.88°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.17°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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 ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.93°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
