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 Cancer · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 7

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 9

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Lilith · sextile, orb 0.06°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.53°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.47°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 0.94°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Mercury Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.16°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. Venus Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.00°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
