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 Aquarius · house 3

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 9

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  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 Capricorn · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 8

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 1

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 2

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · opposition, orb 0.05°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence 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 Lilith · square, orb 0.16°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.46°

    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.

  4. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.74°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury True Node · trine, orb 0.71°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  6. Pluto MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.51°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
