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 Scorpio · house 12

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  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 Libra · house 12

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

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

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Chiron · sextile, orb 0.38°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Neptune True Node · square, orb 0.49°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Chiron · opposition, orb 0.99°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Venus Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.91°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Mars · trine, orb 1.38°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.68°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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