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 Virgo · house 3

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 11

    What makes you feel safe.

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

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  3. Mercury in Virgo · house 3

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

  4. Venus in Scorpio · house 4

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 8

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus · house 10

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

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

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Aries · house 9

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  9. Neptune in Aquarius · house 8

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Aries · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Scorpio · house 4

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

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

  12. Chiron in Virgo · house 3

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.

    In the daily traffic of information.

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 12

    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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · sextile, orb 0.08°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Moon Chiron · square, orb 0.60°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

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

  3. Moon Neptune · trine, orb 0.69°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Venus AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.90°

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

  5. Neptune Pluto · sextile, orb 0.77°

    The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Saturn MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.92°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
