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 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 4

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, 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.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  4. Venus in Libra · house 12

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 2

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 5

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 4

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 7

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.26°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.

  2. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.55°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon True Node · conjunction, orb 1.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  4. Mars MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.90°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Pluto AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.96°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 2.00°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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