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 10

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

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aries · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 11

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the public record of a life.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 12

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

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.07°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 0.27°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 0.22°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  4. True Node Lilith · square, orb 0.42°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Pluto AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.59°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.63°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
