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 Taurus · house 4

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Gemini · house 6

    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.

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

  3. Mercury in Taurus · house 4

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 4

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the foundations, where the line comes from.

  5. Mars in Aquarius · house 2

    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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 9

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.

  7. Saturn in Aries · house 4

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  8. Uranus in Capricorn · house 2

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  9. Neptune in Cancer · house 7

    Where the edges go soft.

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

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

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 7

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

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

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

  11. True Node in Gemini · house 7

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 2

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 9

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.04°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  2. Moon MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.06°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

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

  3. Moon Mars · trine, orb 0.09°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.07°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  5. Saturn AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.81°

    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.

  6. Saturn Neptune · square, orb 0.96°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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