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 8

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

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 9

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

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 1

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

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

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune True Node · conjunction, orb 0.33°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Venus Chiron · trine, orb 0.45°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Venus True Node · conjunction, orb 0.51°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Neptune Lilith · sextile, orb 0.42°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Venus Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.84°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mars MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.75°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
