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 Scorpio · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 8

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 12

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 2

    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 Leo · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Chiron · opposition, orb 0.20°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.47°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Saturn True Node · square, orb 0.45°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 0.50°

    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.

  6. Mars Uranus · square, orb 0.77°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.
