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 Taurus · house 10

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 9

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 9

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

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

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 2

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 12

    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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 4

    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.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Capricorn · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Mars · conjunction, orb 0.81°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.88°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Mars · sextile, orb 0.89°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.47°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Pluto True Node · trine, orb 1.04°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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. Sun AC Ascendant · square, orb 2.07°

    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.
