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 Capricorn · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Mars · square, orb 0.15°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.43°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.46°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Pluto · square, orb 0.58°

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

  5. Venus Chiron · trine, orb 1.13°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Uranus · sextile, orb 1.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
