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 Virgo · house 6

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Virgo · house 6

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

3. ☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Leo · house 6

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

   In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   Across the table, wherever there is another party.

7. ♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 1 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

8. ♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5

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

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 4

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

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

11. ☊ True Node in Taurus · house 2 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 12 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.20°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

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

2. ☉ Sun ☌ ☽ Moon · conjunction, orb 0.37°

   The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.34°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

4. ♅ Uranus △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.37°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

5. ♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.35°

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

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

6. ♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.73°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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