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 Aries · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 10

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

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 11

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 2

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Neptune · trine, orb 0.05°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.32°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Pluto True Node · trine, orb 0.23°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 1.80°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  5. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 1.76°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 1.88°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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