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 3

    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.

    In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

  2. Moon in Virgo · house 7

    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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 2

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  4. Venus in Gemini · house 5

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

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  5. Mars in Capricorn · house 12

    How you go after what you want.

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

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

  6. Jupiter in Cancer · house 6

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

  7. Saturn in Leo · house 7

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

  8. Uranus in Gemini · house 4

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 1

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

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

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 2

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  11. True Node in Aquarius · house 12

    The direction you keep getting nudged in.

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aquarius · house 1

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

  13. Lilith in Pisces · house 1

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

The tightest aspects

  1. Uranus True Node · trine, orb 0.11°

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.

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

  2. Moon Venus · square, orb 0.17°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.

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

  3. Mars Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.26°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Venus Chiron · trine, orb 0.24°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.

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

  5. Moon Neptune · opposition, orb 1.28°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.

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

  6. Venus Neptune · square, orb 1.45°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

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