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 2

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

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

2. ☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 12

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 2

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

   In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

4. ♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 12

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Gemini · house 7 ℞

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

7. ♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 4

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 3

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

10. ♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 1

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 3

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.

    In the daily traffic of information.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.10°

   The capacity to want something and go at 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.

2. ♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.36°

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.

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

3. ♂ Mars ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.53°

   The capacity to want something and go at 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. ♇ Pluto ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.43°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

5. ♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.17°

   The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

6. ♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.66°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.
