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 3

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 5

    What makes you feel safe.

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

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

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Capricorn · house 3

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 5

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Virgo · house 11

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 1

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 9

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 5

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Neptune · square, orb 0.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Uranus · sextile, orb 0.13°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Uranus Chiron · sextile, orb 0.15°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  4. Mars Chiron · trine, orb 0.28°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Mars · conjunction, orb 0.86°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.69°

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