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 Aquarius

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

  2. Moon in Virgo

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

  4. Venus in Aquarius

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

  8. Uranus in Pisces

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

  10. Pluto in Aries

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

  11. True Node in Capricorn

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  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 Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.37°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 0.52°

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

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

  3. Mercury Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.50°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Venus True Node · conjunction, orb 1.11°

    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.

  5. Neptune Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.13°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury Pluto · sextile, orb 0.99°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
