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 Scorpio · house 10

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 10

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 9

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 7

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Libra · house 9

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

  9. Neptune in Taurus · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 8

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  12. Chiron in Gemini · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.36°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Jupiter Saturn · square, orb 0.46°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mercury Pluto · opposition, orb 0.59°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  4. Mars Chiron · opposition, orb 0.76°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  5. Mercury True Node · square, orb 0.80°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  6. Chiron MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.96°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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