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 2

    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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  2. Moon in Libra · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 1

    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.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 3

    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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 4

    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.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 1

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 6

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 5

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

  11. True Node in Cancer · house 4

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 2

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    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 you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.15°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars True Node · conjunction, orb 0.48°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Uranus True Node · square, orb 0.77°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Saturn AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.88°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 1.09°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  6. Mercury Mars · square, orb 1.03°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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