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 Leo

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

  2. Moon in Virgo

    What makes you feel safe.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

  4. Venus in Libra

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

  5. Mars in Gemini

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

  9. Neptune in Gemini

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

  11. True Node in Capricorn

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

  13. Lilith in Cancer

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Mars · square, orb 0.13°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  2. Venus Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.16°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.24°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  4. Jupiter Lilith · square, orb 0.40°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.63°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  6. Sun Neptune · sextile, orb 1.07°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
