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 Virgo · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 4

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  2. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.34°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.34°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 0.64°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Lilith · square, orb 1.14°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

    The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.90°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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