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 Aries · house 5

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 8

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

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 5

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 7

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

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 9

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 4

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 2

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

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn Chiron · trine, orb 0.03°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  2. Saturn MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.13°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.16°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  4. Saturn Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.81°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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. Uranus Chiron · trine, orb 0.78°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  6. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.94°

    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.
