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 Leo

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Capricorn

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  7. Saturn in Pisces

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

  11. True Node in Capricorn

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

  13. Lilith in Virgo

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.01°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.31°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  3. Venus True Node · trine, orb 0.36°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  4. Moon Venus · trine, orb 0.83°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

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

  5. Moon True Node · conjunction, orb 1.19°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 2.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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