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 12

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 1

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 12

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

    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 Gemini · house 2

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 2

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 6

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.

    In the matter of keep and livelihood.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 1

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

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 11

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Libra · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.18°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  2. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 0.69°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Mercury Neptune · square, orb 1.05°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  4. Uranus Lilith · square, orb 1.39°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  5. Venus Saturn · opposition, orb 1.91°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Mercury Pluto · square, orb 2.30°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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