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 Pisces · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 10

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 5

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 11

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 8

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  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 restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 8

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 10

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Saturn · opposition, orb 0.16°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Sun Uranus · trine, orb 0.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.63°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.59°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Chiron MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.70°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mars Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.29°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
