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 Aries · house 9

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7

    Where you want more room.

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

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

  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 Taurus · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 8

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 10

    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.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Chiron · square, orb 0.14°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  2. Jupiter MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.44°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Uranus True Node · conjunction, orb 0.67°

    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. True Node Lilith · square, orb 1.06°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.76°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  6. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.85°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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