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 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.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  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 Gemini · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus True Node · square, orb 0.70°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Saturn Lilith · sextile, orb 0.60°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Pluto True Node · conjunction, orb 0.99°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 1.22°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Saturn · opposition, orb 1.83°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mars Pluto · sextile, orb 1.14°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
