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 Aries · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

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

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

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 7

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Neptune · opposition, orb 0.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges 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 0.26°

    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. Mars True Node · square, orb 0.33°

    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.

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.56°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.65°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Uranus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.77°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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