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 Cancer · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Cancer · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 5

    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.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 6

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 1

    The sore spot you end up good at.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.03°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.04°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  3. Venus Saturn · sextile, orb 0.11°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Chiron MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 1.23°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Uranus · sextile, orb 1.79°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 2.33°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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