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 Sagittarius · house 1

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

2. ☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 3

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

3. ☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

5. ♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In bearing and first impression.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 11

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

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

8. ♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Virgo · house 9 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 6

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.12°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

2. ♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.13°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.45°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

4. ♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.40°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.52°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ☊ True Node ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.92°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.
