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 6

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

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

2. ☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6

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

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

4. ♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6

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

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

5. ♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4

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

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3

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

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 2 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 7

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

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11 ℞

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Libra · house 3 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

1. ☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.25°

   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.

2. ☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.73°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 1.23°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.

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

4. ♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.04°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

5. ☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.31°

   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.

6. ♇ Pluto ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.16°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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