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 Virgo · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 1

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 1

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 2

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 9

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.09°

    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.

  2. Uranus AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.30°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  3. Uranus Neptune · sextile, orb 0.21°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Venus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.56°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Neptune Lilith · square, orb 0.46°

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

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

  6. Sun Mars · sextile, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
