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.
☉ Sun in Sagittarius · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.16°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.46°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.75°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.58°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.21°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.50°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
