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 Virgo · house 9

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 11

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  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. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.61°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 1.05°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Jupiter MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.47°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Neptune True Node · square, orb 1.30°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 2.21°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mercury Uranus · conjunction, orb 2.26°

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