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 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 2

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Libra · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 7

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Pluto · sextile, orb 0.26°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Jupiter Neptune · square, orb 0.59°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  3. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.91°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Uranus MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.70°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  5. Chiron Lilith · opposition, orb 1.75°

    The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Saturn MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 2.52°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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