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 Aquarius · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 1

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

    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 by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    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 Taurus · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.06°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Jupiter Chiron · sextile, orb 0.05°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 0.28°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.33°

    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.

  5. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.65°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.88°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
