Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

  1. Sun in Capricorn

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

  2. Moon in Cancer

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  7. Saturn in Aries

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

  8. Uranus in Aries

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

  9. Neptune in Pisces

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

  10. Pluto in Aries

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

  11. True Node in Leo

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Lilith · trine, orb 0.08°

    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.

  2. Sun Moon · opposition, orb 0.13°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Venus Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.49°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Sun Uranus · square, orb 0.63°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  5. Moon Pluto · square, orb 0.69°

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

  6. Moon Uranus · square, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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