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 Aries · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.25°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.51°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Saturn AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.70°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mars True Node · trine, orb 1.43°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. True Node Lilith · square, orb 1.28°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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