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 Scorpio

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  2. Moon in Libra

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  6. Jupiter in Aries

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  9. Neptune in Taurus

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 0.29°

    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.

  2. Moon Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.80°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Sun Mars · conjunction, orb 1.88°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Lilith · trine, orb 2.30°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Chiron · conjunction, orb 2.56°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 2.85°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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