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 Cancer · house 5

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Gemini · house 3

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

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

3. ☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 6

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

4. ♀ Venus in Leo · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Leo · house 6

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 1

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Aries · house 1

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

   In bearing and first impression.

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

   In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Gemini · house 4

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

12. ⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

13. ⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.11°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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

2. ♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.09°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

3. ♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.82°

   The capacity to want something and go at 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.

4. ☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.73°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.03°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

6. ☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.14°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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