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 Libra · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Virgo · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.08°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.74°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.97°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
