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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
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 Capricorn · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.05°
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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.07°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.52°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.50°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
