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

    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 Sagittarius · house 10

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

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

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 8

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 10

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 4

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 3

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 2

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 1

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.12°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  2. Mercury Jupiter · square, orb 0.25°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

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

  3. Venus True Node · trine, orb 0.36°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  4. Venus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.86°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

  5. Sun Neptune · opposition, orb 1.01°

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

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  6. Saturn Pluto · square, orb 0.99°

    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.
