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 Leo · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7

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

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  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 Aries · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 0.36°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mercury Saturn · square, orb 0.70°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.84°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus Saturn · square, orb 1.06°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.11°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
