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 7

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

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

2. ☽ Moon in Libra · house 2

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 6

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

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

4. ♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Leo · house 11 ℞

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3

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

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

7. ♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 6

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

8. ♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 4

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 2 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 12 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

1. ☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.39°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

2. ⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.36°

   The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

3. ☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.99°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

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

4. ♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.00°

   The pull toward what has no edges 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.

5. ⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.18°

   The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

6. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.47°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
