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 Sagittarius · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 1

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In bearing and first impression.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · opposition, orb 0.01°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Venus Lilith · opposition, orb 0.16°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Jupiter True Node · opposition, orb 0.23°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Saturn Uranus · trine, orb 0.35°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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