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 Aquarius · house 3

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

2. ☽ Moon in Leo · house 9

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

3. ☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 3 ℞

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

4. ♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Taurus · house 6

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

8. ♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 3

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

   In the daily traffic of information.

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 9 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

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

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.43°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

2. ☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 0.51°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.

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

3. ♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.69°

   The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

4. ♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.87°

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

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

5. ⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.78°

   The injury that becomes a competence 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.

6. ☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.78°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
