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 Scorpio · house 6

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  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 Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 6

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 11

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Lilith · sextile, orb 0.41°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mercury Mars · sextile, orb 1.13°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 2.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 2.08°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Venus Lilith · sextile, orb 1.60°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.97°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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