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 Leo

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Aries

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

  4. Venus in Cancer

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  8. Uranus in Pisces

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

  11. True Node in Leo

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.69°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  2. Sun Chiron · trine, orb 0.75°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Jupiter · trine, orb 0.85°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.16°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Mercury Uranus · opposition, orb 1.84°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Moon Pluto · square, orb 1.85°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
