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 5

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

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

  2. Moon in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 6

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  4. Venus in Leo · house 5

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  5. Mars in Libra · house 6

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  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.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 5

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by backing itself, publicly.

    In the things done because they are wanted.

  9. Neptune in Libra · house 6

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  10. Pluto in Aquarius · house 11

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Virgo · house 6

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

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Cancer · house 4

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.02°

    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.

  2. Sun Venus · conjunction, orb 0.46°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.54°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Mars Chiron · square, orb 0.86°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  5. Moon Lilith · trine, orb 0.99°

    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.

  6. Jupiter Chiron · square, orb 0.88°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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