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 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the public record of a life.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 10

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

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.19°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Neptune True Node · trine, orb 0.43°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  3. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.24°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  4. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 1.20°

    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.

  5. Venus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.20°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 1.61°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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