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

    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 Cancer · house 12

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 10

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 12

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 11

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 7

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.16°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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. Jupiter Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.22°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Jupiter Lilith · sextile, orb 0.55°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Saturn Neptune · sextile, orb 0.58°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.73°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Sun Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.45°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
