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 6

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

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

  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 by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 5

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

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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 Pisces · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Chiron · opposition, orb 0.43°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  2. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.04°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.95°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.86°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Saturn Neptune · sextile, orb 1.15°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
