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 Taurus · house 10

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 11

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

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

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 11

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 11

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 3

    Where the edges go soft.

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

  11. True Node in Leo · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 2

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 12

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Pluto · square, orb 0.32°

    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. Venus Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.02°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  3. True Node Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.00°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 1.18°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Uranus AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.80°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Jupiter MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.67°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
