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 Scorpio · house 12

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Scorpio · house 12

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Libra · house 11

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Virgo · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 6

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.14°

    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.

  2. Moon Saturn · square, orb 0.26°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Uranus · opposition, orb 0.80°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.76°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.32°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Sun MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.95°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
