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.
☉ 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.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.21°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.30°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.32°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.45°
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.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.57°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
