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 Aquarius · house 11

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Leo · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 1

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at 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.

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 6

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 11

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.

  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.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Venus Lilith · square, orb 0.00°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  2. Saturn Uranus · square, orb 0.15°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  3. Neptune MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.35°

    The pull toward what has no edges 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.

  4. Moon Mercury · opposition, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Saturn Pluto · trine, orb 0.78°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Pluto · square, orb 1.05°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.
