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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.12°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 1.04°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Saturn Lilith · sextile, orb 0.64°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus Neptune · trine, orb 0.97°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.99°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 1.06°

    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.
