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 Pisces · house 5

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 8

    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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 5

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 4

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 5

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 7

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.04°

    The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  2. Neptune Pluto · square, orb 0.87°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  3. True Node AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.92°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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. Uranus Chiron · square, orb 1.05°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Neptune Lilith · trine, orb 1.06°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  6. Sun True Node · square, orb 1.72°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
