A
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.
☉ Sun in Pisces · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 11 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.57°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.48°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.77°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.34°
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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.44°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 2.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
