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 Libra · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 10

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  8. 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 0.01°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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. Saturn Pluto · trine, orb 0.11°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Jupiter Pluto · opposition, orb 0.83°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Mars Pluto · square, orb 0.84°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  5. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.71°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Sun True Node · square, orb 1.26°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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