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 Libra · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  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 Libra · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  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 Aries · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.17°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  2. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 0.39°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  3. True Node Lilith · opposition, orb 0.40°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mars MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.80°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
