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 Gemini · house 1

   The drive to be someone in particular, 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.

2. ☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 5

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

8. ♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 6 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

10. ♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12

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

    In the part that operates without being watched.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

The tightest aspects

1. ☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.44°

   The drive to be someone in particular 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. ♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.65°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

3. ♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.62°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

4. ☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.46°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

5. ☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.95°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

6. ☽ Moon ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 2.10°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.

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