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 Pisces · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    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 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 2

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    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 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

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

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 1

    The sore spot you end up good at.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    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. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.02°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Sun AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.30°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  3. True Node AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.65°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Sun True Node · conjunction, orb 0.95°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 1.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Jupiter · trine, orb 0.99°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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