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 12

    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.

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

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 12

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 1

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 6

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

    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 by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In bearing and first impression.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 6

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 12

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 11

    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.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 12

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Neptune · trine, orb 0.31°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Sun Neptune · sextile, orb 0.66°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Sun Uranus · opposition, orb 0.97°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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. Sun Pluto · opposition, orb 1.07°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Jupiter True Node · square, orb 1.04°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available 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. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.01°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
