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.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 9 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.44°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.19°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
