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 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 12

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

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In bearing and first impression.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.31°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Venus Mars · trine, orb 0.76°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  3. Jupiter Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.93°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Sun True Node · trine, orb 1.23°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Moon Mars · trine, orb 1.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.78°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
