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 Libra · house 4

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

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.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 4

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Leo · house 2

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

8. ♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In pleasure and in what is created 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 11 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

13. ⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

The tightest aspects

1. ☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.22°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

2. ♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.18°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.62°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

4. ☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.71°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

5. ☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.94°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

6. ☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.42°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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