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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 2

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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.

  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 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

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

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

    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. Mercury Uranus · trine, orb 0.01°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. Venus Uranus · square, orb 0.64°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  3. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.94°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.05°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Saturn Pluto · trine, orb 1.16°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.87°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
