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 Taurus · house 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 2

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

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 1

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  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 Capricorn · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 9

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 2

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. True Node AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.13°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  2. True Node MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.23°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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. Venus Mars · square, orb 0.26°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Uranus Pluto · opposition, orb 1.13°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  6. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 1.35°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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