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 1

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

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 12

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3

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

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  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 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

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

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    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 generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.19°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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. Neptune MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.32°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus True Node · opposition, orb 0.38°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 0.60°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Neptune Chiron · trine, orb 0.51°

    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.
