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 Leo · house 9

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Leo · house 8

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 9

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2

    Where you want more room.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 6

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 1

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 8

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Pluto · trine, orb 0.05°

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  2. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 0.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  3. Sun True Node · trine, orb 0.53°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.50°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  5. Sun Uranus · square, orb 0.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  6. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.63°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
