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 Cancer · house 12

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 1

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 12

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 2

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the public record of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Leo · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Chiron · opposition, orb 0.03°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.11°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Pluto AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.34°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Neptune AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.45°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon Neptune · trine, orb 1.42°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.53°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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