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 Scorpio · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.05°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Uranus Pluto · trine, orb 0.09°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Venus MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.03°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Chiron · opposition, orb 1.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Chiron AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.56°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 2.11°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
