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 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 10

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 10

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

  6. Jupiter in Aries · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Taurus · house 10

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 2

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.15°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.35°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Moon Uranus · opposition, orb 0.51°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 0.44°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.69°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. Venus Saturn · square, orb 0.76°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.

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