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 Sagittarius · house 6

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  2. Moon in Leo · house 3

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

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

  4. Venus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  5. Mars in Leo · house 3

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

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

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6

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

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Capricorn · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 2

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Neptune · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Uranus Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.18°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Saturn Pluto · opposition, orb 0.25°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mercury AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.47°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Jupiter MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.47°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  6. Venus Mars · trine, orb 0.73°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
