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

   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 Aries · house 8

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10 ℞

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12

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

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3

   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 Scorpio · house 3

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9 ℞

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 5 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the daily traffic of information.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.10°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

2. ☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.25°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.56°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

4. ♇ Pluto ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.86°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.

5. ♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.98°

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

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

6. ♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.74°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
