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 Pisces · house 4

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  2. Moon in Taurus · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  3. Mercury in Pisces · house 4

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 4

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

  5. Mars in Taurus · house 7

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  7. Saturn in Scorpio · house 1

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 5

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 10

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 9

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Leo · house 10

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 6

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  13. Lilith in Cancer · house 9

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

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

The tightest aspects

  1. Mars Saturn · opposition, orb 0.33°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

    The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

  2. Mercury AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.73°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.

  3. Mars Jupiter · trine, orb 0.79°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.

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

  4. Sun Lilith · trine, orb 0.95°

    The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

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

  5. Saturn True Node · square, orb 0.84°

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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

  6. Moon True Node · square, orb 1.04°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

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