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 Virgo · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8

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

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

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

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 1

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 12

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

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · sextile, orb 0.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.17°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Jupiter Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.32°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury Saturn · sextile, orb 0.80°

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

  5. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 1.38°

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

  6. True Node Lilith · opposition, orb 1.12°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
