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 Taurus · house 11

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 11

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 2

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 12

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Chiron Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.31°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Sun Jupiter · square, orb 0.51°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.50°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mercury Lilith · trine, orb 0.76°

    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.

  5. Moon True Node · trine, orb 0.98°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  6. Venus Pluto · square, orb 1.04°

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