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 Virgo · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 7

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.10°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mercury Uranus · sextile, orb 0.31°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.60°

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

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

  4. Sun MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.70°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  5. Saturn Neptune · sextile, orb 0.71°

    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. Saturn MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.81°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
