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 Leo · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 4

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

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 3

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Pisces · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn True Node · opposition, orb 0.12°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

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

  2. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.21°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Saturn Uranus · sextile, orb 0.20°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.

  4. Pluto Lilith · sextile, orb 0.21°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 0.32°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  6. Venus AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.42°

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