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 Pisces · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.11°
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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.22°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.30°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.42°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.88°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.92°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
