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 Capricorn · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.66°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.53°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.72°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  4. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 2.19°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Venus Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.81°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Pluto True Node · sextile, orb 1.58°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
