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 Scorpio · house 6

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 10

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

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

5. ♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5

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

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 5

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

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

8. ♅ Uranus in Libra · house 6

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

   In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

9. ♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 12 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12 ℞

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

1. ♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.11°

   The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

2. ♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.36°

   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.

3. ♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.42°

   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.

4. ☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.33°

   The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

5. ☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.33°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

6. ♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.17°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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