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 Libra · house 7

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 9

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

3. ☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Leo · house 6

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

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

5. ♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 7

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

8. ♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Leo · house 5 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞

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

    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 Gemini · house 3

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

1. ♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.03°

   The pull toward what has no edges 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.

2. ☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.32°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.18°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

4. ☊ True Node ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.15°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♀ Venus ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 0.47°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

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

6. ☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.97°

   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.
