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 Aries · house 1

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 5

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 11

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 4

    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.

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 3

    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.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 10

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.04°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Mercury Chiron · trine, orb 0.26°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 0.32°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Moon Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.55°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  5. Pluto Lilith · opposition, orb 2.20°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Moon Chiron · square, orb 2.50°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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