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 Cancer · house 11

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 2

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  3. Mercury in Cancer · house 11

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 10

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  5. Mars in Aries · house 9

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  6. Jupiter in Libra · house 4

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Leo · house 1

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  9. Neptune in Scorpio · house 4

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Virgo · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 4

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 7

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

  13. Lilith in Aries · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

The tightest aspects

  1. Jupiter Saturn · sextile, orb 0.05°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Jupiter Chiron · trine, orb 0.58°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  3. Sun Neptune · trine, orb 0.81°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.

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

  4. Saturn Chiron · sextile, orb 0.63°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  5. Sun Pluto · sextile, orb 1.10°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  6. Uranus AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.44°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.
