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 Virgo · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 8

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Sagittarius · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Uranus · opposition, orb 0.28°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Mercury True Node · trine, orb 1.10°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  3. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 1.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 1.63°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Jupiter Uranus · opposition, orb 1.42°

    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.

  6. Sun Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.70°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
