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 Virgo · house 4

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Cancer · house 2

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

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Leo · house 4

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Virgo · house 5 ℞

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

5. ♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 8 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Leo · house 4

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

10. ♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Libra · house 5 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ☿ Mercury ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.05°

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

2. ☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.17°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.23°

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

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

4. ♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.45°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.58°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.88°

   The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.
