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 7

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

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 8

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

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 4

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 7

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 8

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.01°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.06°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Mars · square, orb 0.11°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  4. Lilith AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.17°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.15°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Mars · square, orb 1.04°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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