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 Sagittarius · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Aquarius · house 1

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In bearing and first impression.

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 12

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 12

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 11

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 5

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 10

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 12

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In the part that operates without being watched.

  13. Lilith in Scorpio · house 10

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

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Pluto · opposition, orb 0.05°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.

  2. Jupiter AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.06°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Mars AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.62°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.68°

    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.

  5. True Node MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.90°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.

  6. Venus MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.06°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
