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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 9
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the things done because they are wanted.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.54°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.66°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.58°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.74°
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.
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.45°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
