A
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 Virgo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 7
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.15°
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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.35°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.17°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.15°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
