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 Capricorn · house 2

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 8

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In bearing and first impression.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 8

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 7

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 12

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

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 3

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Neptune · trine, orb 0.29°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Pluto · opposition, orb 0.34°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  3. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.29°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

  4. Neptune MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.45°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  5. Saturn Chiron · square, orb 0.49°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 0.55°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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