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 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 6

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

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

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

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 5

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 4

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 6

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

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Saturn · opposition, orb 0.43°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.50°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.53°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Uranus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.30°

    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.

  5. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.56°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Jupiter · square, orb 0.98°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
