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 Aries · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.17°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Mars True Node · sextile, orb 0.30°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  4. Moon Uranus · square, orb 1.12°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 1.14°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Chiron · square, orb 1.52°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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