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 Scorpio · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    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 Scorpio · house 7

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    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 Libra · house 7

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 2

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Pluto · square, orb 0.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Neptune MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.69°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  3. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.55°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 1.21°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Uranus True Node · opposition, orb 1.37°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 1.39°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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