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 6

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 10

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 5

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 7

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Libra · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 12

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 7

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 5

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

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

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 8

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Pluto MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.41°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  3. Mars True Node · square, orb 0.69°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 1.18°

    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.

  5. Sun Jupiter · trine, orb 1.37°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  6. Sun Mars · trine, orb 1.78°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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