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 Taurus · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Jupiter Uranus · opposition, orb 0.11°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.18°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mars Saturn · square, orb 0.18°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.23°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Chiron · sextile, orb 0.36°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
