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 · house 2

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 3

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 4

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

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

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 7

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 9

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 5

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.61°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.62°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 1.26°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 1.09°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Chiron · trine, orb 1.75°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 1.84°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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