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 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 12

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

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4

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

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 8

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.62°

    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.

  2. Mars MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.48°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.79°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus Jupiter · trine, orb 0.91°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.00°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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. True Node AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.16°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
