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 Aries · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 0.12°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Neptune · square, orb 0.22°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Pluto Chiron · square, orb 0.29°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.74°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 1.03°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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