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 12

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

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 11

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

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 5

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 4

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 7

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.12°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Pluto MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.28°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  3. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 0.35°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Neptune Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.37°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 0.42°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Uranus MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.40°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
