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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.07°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.22°
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.
♄ Saturn ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.53°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
