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 Taurus · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Sagittarius · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 0.13°

    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.

  2. Moon Venus · conjunction, orb 0.85°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  3. Sun MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.11°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Mercury MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.38°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 2.10°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 1.44°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
