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 Virgo · house 7

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Libra · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  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 Libra · house 7

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

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

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 12

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 0.12°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  2. Lilith MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mercury Pluto · opposition, orb 0.29°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Sun Lilith · square, orb 0.55°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. True Node AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.53°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
