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 Capricorn · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.02°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. True Node Chiron · opposition, orb 0.17°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Venus True Node · square, orb 0.20°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. Saturn True Node · square, orb 0.38°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Venus Saturn · opposition, orb 0.57°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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