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 Aries · house 6

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 5

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Taurus · house 8

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9

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

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 9

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

   In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

7. ♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 2 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 2 ℞

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

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 9

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

   In what is believed, and how far it is carried.

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.

11. ☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 12 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♀ Venus ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.04°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

2. ♇ Pluto △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.23°

   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.

3. ☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.49°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

4. ☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.23°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

5. ☽ Moon ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.28°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

6. ♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.18°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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