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 Gemini · house 11

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 12

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 11

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 11

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  6. Jupiter in Leo · house 1

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 3

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio · house 5

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Libra · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 3

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Taurus · house 11

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

  13. Lilith in Leo · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.11°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  2. True Node Chiron · trine, orb 0.19°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Neptune · opposition, orb 0.87°

    The drive to be someone in particular 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.

  4. Moon Mercury · opposition, orb 1.18°

    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.

  5. Moon MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.07°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.

  6. Mars Uranus · opposition, orb 1.75°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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