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 10

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 8

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

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

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 5

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.27°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.19°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Mars · sextile, orb 0.46°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 1.10°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

  5. Saturn True Node · sextile, orb 0.91°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mars Lilith · square, orb 1.53°

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

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