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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

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

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · trine, orb 0.11°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 1.19°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.46°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Saturn Uranus · opposition, orb 1.52°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Jupiter Neptune · opposition, orb 1.57°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.57°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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