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 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 11
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.35°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.70°
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.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.73°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.90°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.83°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
