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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 5

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 6

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

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

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 3

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.07°

    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.

  2. Moon Lilith · square, orb 0.27°

    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.

  3. Mercury MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.79°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.86°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. Chiron AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.05°

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

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

  6. Sun Pluto · square, orb 1.58°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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