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 Aquarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 6

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

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

  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.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Pluto · sextile, orb 0.11°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.29°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon Mercury · trine, orb 1.12°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

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

  4. Moon True Node · square, orb 1.22°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 1.06°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.51°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
