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 Aries · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 6

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus True Node · conjunction, orb 0.27°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Venus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.46°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 0.58°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Moon Lilith · square, orb 0.73°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.85°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.06°

    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.
