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 Cancer · house 5

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 2

    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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 5

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 7

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 3

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 4

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  2. Chiron MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.50°

    The injury that becomes a competence 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. Uranus True Node · conjunction, orb 0.56°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  4. Jupiter Pluto · square, orb 0.65°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  5. Sun Lilith · opposition, orb 0.88°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 0.78°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
