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 Leo · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 12

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

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

  4. Venus in Cancer · house 4

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

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

  5. Mars in Sagittarius · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn · house 9

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 6

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Scorpio · house 7

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 4

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Lilith AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.30°

    What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

  2. Moon Mercury · opposition, orb 0.76°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.

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

  3. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 1.23°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  4. Venus Chiron · trine, orb 1.10°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Neptune Chiron · sextile, orb 0.71°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Saturn Pluto · trine, orb 1.09°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
