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 Scorpio · house 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.36°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.59°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
