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 Aries · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 4
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.63°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.59°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.05°
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.
♃ Jupiter ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.54°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
