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 Aquarius · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 9

    What makes you feel safe.

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

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  4. Venus in Pisces · house 8

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  5. Mars in Pisces · house 8

    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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 8

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.

    Where things are held in common, and where they end.

  7. Saturn in Libra · house 3

    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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Cancer · house 12

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 4

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Leo · house 1

    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 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 Pisces · house 9

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.01°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  2. Mars Lilith · square, orb 0.14°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  3. Sun Pluto · opposition, orb 0.79°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.73°

    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. Jupiter Lilith · square, orb 0.86°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mercury AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.24°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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