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 Taurus · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 3

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Mars · square, orb 0.25°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.29°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon Venus · conjunction, orb 1.95°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 1.23°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Jupiter Pluto · trine, orb 1.56°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.89°

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