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 Aries · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ 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.
♇ 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.
☊ 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ 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.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.13°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.07°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.40°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
