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 Cancer · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 3

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

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mercury · trine, orb 0.69°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.

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

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.57°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.64°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.85°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  5. Sun Pluto · conjunction, orb 2.19°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  6. Moon Saturn · trine, orb 2.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
