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 Virgo · house 4

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 5

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

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 5

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 9

    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.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 11

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 10

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 4

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.03°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  2. Mars Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mars AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.48°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.46°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Pluto AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.49°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Mars MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.17°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
