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 Pisces · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 8

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Neptune · trine, orb 0.64°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 0.64°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  3. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.82°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus Chiron · opposition, orb 1.30°

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

  6. Jupiter MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.46°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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