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 Scorpio · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 12

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

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 12

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

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

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 3

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2

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

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Pluto · trine, orb 0.06°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Moon · conjunction, orb 0.42°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Uranus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.43°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 Lilith · sextile, orb 0.35°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mercury Uranus · sextile, orb 0.36°

    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.

  6. Mars Neptune · sextile, orb 0.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
