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 Capricorn · house 11

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Aries · house 2

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  3. Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 12

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

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

  5. Mars in Leo · house 6

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces · house 1

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  7. Saturn in Cancer · house 4

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius · house 11

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 11

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    Among the people chosen rather than given.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Pisces · house 1

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

  13. Lilith in Gemini · house 4

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Saturn AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.78°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.

  2. AC Ascendant MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.78°

    The face a life presents before it says anything 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.

  3. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 1.49°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Sun Moon · square, orb 1.86°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it obstruct each other.

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

  5. Sun Chiron · sextile, orb 1.82°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Moon Venus · sextile, orb 2.21°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
