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 7

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 7

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

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4

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

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 10

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

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 6

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  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. Mercury Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.02°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  3. Saturn Chiron · sextile, orb 0.20°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.49°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.40°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.43°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
