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 Taurus · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Aries · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Venus · opposition, orb 0.10°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Pluto Lilith · trine, orb 0.09°

    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.

  3. Mercury MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.32°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.37°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.44°

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

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

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.77°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
