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 4

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 5

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

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 9

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.55°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Uranus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.78°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 1.36°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 1.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Saturn · sextile, orb 1.28°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.94°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
