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 Gemini · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 12

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 1

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In bearing and first impression.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 6

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Neptune · opposition, orb 1.20°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  2. Mercury Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.37°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.93°

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

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

  4. Venus Jupiter · trine, orb 1.95°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Pluto · square, orb 2.09°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 2.37°

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