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 Pisces · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.24°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.34°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 0.25°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.90°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Jupiter Uranus · square, orb 1.11°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  6. Mars Neptune · square, orb 1.22°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
