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 10

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 10

    How you think, and how you say it.

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

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  5. Mars in Scorpio · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 7

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 11

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aries · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aries · house 1

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

    The sore spot you end up good at.

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

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

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 7

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.18°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Pluto · trine, orb 0.27°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  3. Saturn Uranus · opposition, orb 0.38°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 0.69°

    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. Sun True Node · square, orb 0.80°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mercury AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.73°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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