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 Leo · house 8

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 2

    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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  3. Mercury in Leo · house 8

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  4. Venus in Virgo · house 9

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  5. Mars in Cancer · house 7

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 5

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 4

    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.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Pisces · house 3

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Pisces · house 3

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 4

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Libra · house 10

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus Pluto · square, orb 0.10°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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

  2. Mars Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.09°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  3. Chiron AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.12°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.

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

  4. Jupiter Neptune · trine, orb 0.42°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  5. Mars Neptune · opposition, orb 0.51°

    The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

  6. Mars Pluto · square, orb 0.49°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.

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