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 2

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

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 3

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 3

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 3

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In bearing and first impression.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 10

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 8

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 5

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. True Node Lilith · trine, orb 0.10°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Lilith · opposition, orb 0.36°

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

  3. Moon True Node · sextile, orb 0.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 0.38°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 0.47°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Jupiter Uranus · square, orb 0.94°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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