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 Taurus · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 6

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

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 4

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

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.96°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.15°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 0.91°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 1.17°

    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.

  5. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 1.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Chiron AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.48°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
