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 Sagittarius · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Lilith · square, orb 0.18°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mercury AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.57°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  3. Mercury MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.39°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.59°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Uranus · sextile, orb 0.98°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.71°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
