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 Aquarius · house 12

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 2

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 1

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 12

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 7

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 12

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Pluto · square, orb 0.07°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  2. Saturn True Node · conjunction, orb 0.54°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  3. Jupiter Uranus · opposition, orb 1.29°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

  4. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 1.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Sun Chiron · square, orb 1.43°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  6. Uranus Pluto · square, orb 1.36°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
