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 Sagittarius · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.24°
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.
♂ Mars ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.88°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 1.02°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
