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 Virgo · house 3

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

2. ☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 5

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

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 2 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

4. ♀ Venus in Virgo · house 2 ℞

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

5. ♂ Mars in Leo · house 1

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 9 ℞

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 3

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

8. ♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 12

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Pisces · house 8 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

13. ⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.07°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

2. ♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.16°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

3. ♃ Jupiter ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.23°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

4. ☉ Sun ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.46°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.57°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

6. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.80°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
