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 Pisces · house 4

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

4. ♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 1

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

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 Capricorn · house 2

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

   In the matter of keep and livelihood.

8. ♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

9. ♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 9 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

11. ☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10

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

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

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7

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

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

The tightest aspects

1. ☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.24°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

2. ♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.93°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

3. ☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.54°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

4. ♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.40°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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. ♄ Saturn ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.10°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ⚸ Lilith ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.41°

   What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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