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 Sagittarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 1

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

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · square, orb 0.06°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars True Node · square, orb 0.12°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. True Node MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.40°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Saturn Lilith · opposition, orb 2.49°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  5. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 2.07°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  6. Moon Mercury · conjunction, orb 3.20°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
