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 6

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

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 1

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.24°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Uranus · trine, orb 0.37°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  3. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.68°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.75°

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

  5. Chiron Lilith · opposition, orb 0.70°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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.

  6. Moon Lilith · square, orb 0.94°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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