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 Capricorn · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 6

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Virgo · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 12

    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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Lilith · opposition, orb 0.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.01°

    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.

  3. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.19°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 0.19°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Neptune Lilith · sextile, orb 0.20°

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

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Lilith MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.32°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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