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 Leo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 1

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

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

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.43°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.49°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.91°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Uranus Chiron · opposition, orb 1.29°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  5. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.17°

    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.

  6. Saturn True Node · square, orb 1.34°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
