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 Capricorn · house 6

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

4. ♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

   In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

5. ♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 5

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

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

9. ♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.16°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

2. ♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.44°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.71°

   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.

4. ☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.38°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

5. ♀ Venus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.66°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.

6. ☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 2.33°

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