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 Sagittarius · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.20°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.84°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 1.16°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.30°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
