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 Libra · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 10

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus True Node · sextile, orb 0.25°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.54°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 1.57°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.84°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.64°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Venus AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.94°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
