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 Leo · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 1

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 3

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron Lilith · trine, orb 0.24°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.36°

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

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

  3. Venus Pluto · trine, orb 0.35°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.60°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 1.38°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Mars · square, orb 1.37°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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