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 12

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

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

2. ☽ Moon in Gemini · house 9

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

3. ☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 12

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

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

4. ♀ Venus in Virgo · house 1

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

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

5. ♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 2

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 7 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

7. ♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 5 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞

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

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Libra · house 1 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.24°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

2. ☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.91°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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. ☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.08°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

4. ♃ Jupiter ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.00°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.

5. ♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.16°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

6. ♅ Uranus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.24°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
