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 Taurus · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 4

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

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.04°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.08°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Mars Pluto · sextile, orb 0.23°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Moon True Node · square, orb 1.71°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Moon Venus · sextile, orb 1.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter Uranus · sextile, orb 1.27°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
