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 Capricorn · house 7

    Who you are being when you are most yourself.

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

  2. Moon in Capricorn · house 7

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.

    Across the table, wherever there is another party.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius · house 8

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

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

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 7

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.

    In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

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

  9. Neptune in Gemini · house 12

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

    In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  10. Pluto in Gemini · house 12

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  11. True Node in Sagittarius · house 6

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6

    The sore spot you end up good at.

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.

    In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.

  13. Lilith in Virgo · house 3

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

The tightest aspects

  1. Mercury Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.09°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  2. Mercury MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.22°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  3. Chiron MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.30°

    The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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

  4. Moon AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.61°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

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

  5. Mercury True Node · conjunction, orb 1.29°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  6. True Node MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.07°

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

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