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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 4

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

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 8

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

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.06°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.54°

    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.

  3. Mars Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.93°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Chiron · sextile, orb 0.98°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.01°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
