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 10

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

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 9

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 2

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

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.19°

    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. Venus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.32°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.90°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  4. Saturn Pluto · trine, orb 1.14°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Mercury True Node · trine, orb 1.28°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.36°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
