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 Capricorn · house 9

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 9

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.28°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.45°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.40°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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 Uranus · sextile, orb 0.43°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 0.67°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 0.77°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
