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 Cancer · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 7

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 11

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 10

    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.

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

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 3

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 8

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 5

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

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 5

    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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.44°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

  2. Moon Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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. Mercury Venus · conjunction, orb 1.29°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Jupiter Pluto · trine, orb 1.20°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Uranus · trine, orb 1.34°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Saturn · trine, orb 2.24°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.

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