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 Cancer · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mars Lilith · sextile, orb 0.61°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Saturn Pluto · sextile, orb 0.97°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.91°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Uranus Chiron · opposition, orb 1.75°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 1.82°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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