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 Scorpio · house 3

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Saturn · opposition, orb 0.18°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.24°

    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. Pluto MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.50°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Uranus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.15°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 1.28°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
