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 9

    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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 3

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  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 Cancer · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 1

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Gemini · house 10

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 9

    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.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Capricorn · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 7

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    At the threshold, before anything is said.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Uranus · sextile, orb 0.26°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.65°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Uranus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.91°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Pluto · trine, orb 1.32°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Sun MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 2.25°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 2.06°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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