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.
☉ Sun in Capricorn · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ 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.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.07°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.08°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.27°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.70°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
