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 Scorpio · house 5

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Taurus · house 11

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

   Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

3. ☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4

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

4. ♀ Venus in Libra · house 4

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

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

5. ♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 7

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 4

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.

   In the foundations, where the line comes from.

7. ♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

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

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Libra · house 4

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.

9. ♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

10. ♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

11. ☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 10 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, 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.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 1

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.02°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.

2. ♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.62°

   The appetite for more room than is currently available 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 ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.63°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

4. ☿ Mercury ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.13°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

5. ☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.75°

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

6. ♇ Pluto ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.09°

   What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
