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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 6

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

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 5

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

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

    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 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.44°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. True Node AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.70°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  3. Neptune MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.91°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.89°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mars Lilith · opposition, orb 1.29°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 1.44°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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