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 Pisces · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 8

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 6

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 8

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 6

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 1

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 10

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.15°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  2. True Node MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.19°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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 Lilith · trine, orb 0.24°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Mars · sextile, orb 1.66°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 1.47°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 1.71°

    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.
