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 10

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Aries · house 10

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 10

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 11

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 6

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 9

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 4

    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.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    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.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 1

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 4

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  2. Venus Lilith · trine, orb 0.21°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Mars Saturn · trine, orb 0.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury Mars · square, orb 1.03°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.19°

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

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

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.49°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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