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 Cancer · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 2

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

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 2

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

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

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

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Saturn · trine, orb 0.19°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  2. Venus Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.34°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.53°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.63°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Jupiter Saturn · trine, orb 0.86°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 1.04°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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