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 Taurus

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  4. Venus in Leo

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini

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

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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 Aquarius

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Neptune · trine, orb 0.19°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Uranus · trine, orb 0.47°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  3. Moon True Node · trine, orb 1.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. Venus Lilith · opposition, orb 1.14°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. Neptune True Node · conjunction, orb 1.29°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Moon Mars · opposition, orb 2.06°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

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