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 Sagittarius · house 4

   Who you are being when you are most yourself.

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Libra · house 2

   What makes you feel safe.

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4

   How you think, and how you say it.

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4

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

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

   In the foundations, where the line comes from.

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 4

   How you go after what you want.

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 1

   Where you want more room.

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3

   The strict teacher you thank later.

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

8. ♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9 ℞

   The urge to break something that still works.

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12

   Where the edges go soft.

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Aries · house 9 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞

    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.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

13. ⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

The tightest aspects

1. ♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.95°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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 ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.29°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.77°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

4. ♄ Saturn ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.37°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.78°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

6. ♅ Uranus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 2.20°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
