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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 11

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 0.27°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 Lilith · trine, orb 0.49°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.74°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.92°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.25°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Pluto MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.48°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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