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 7

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

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

  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 Pisces · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Pluto · sextile, orb 0.05°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.23°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  3. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 0.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Moon AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.89°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Saturn True Node · square, orb 1.02°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  6. Jupiter Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.41°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
