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 Leo · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Mars · sextile, orb 0.11°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars True Node · square, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon Uranus · trine, orb 1.01°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.00°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 1.02°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.36°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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