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 Sagittarius

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  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 Libra

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  5. Mars in Cancer

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

  7. Saturn in Taurus

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

  12. Chiron in Aries

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Lilith · opposition, orb 0.17°

    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.

  2. Venus Uranus · square, orb 0.46°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Saturn · square, orb 0.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Neptune · opposition, orb 1.62°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Jupiter Pluto · square, orb 1.56°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Moon · trine, orb 2.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

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