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 Leo · house 4

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

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

2. ☽ Moon in Libra · house 6

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

3. ☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 4

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

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

4. ♀ Venus in Cancer · house 3

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.

5. ♂ Mars in Aries · house 12

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

6. ♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 2

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

7. ♄ Saturn in Libra · house 6

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.

   In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

8. ♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 6

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

9. ♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 1

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

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

10. ♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1

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

    In bearing and first impression.

11. ☊ True Node in Aries · house 12

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

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

12. ⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 5

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

13. ⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 10

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

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

The tightest aspects

1. ⚸ Lilith ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.19°

   What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

2. ♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.48°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

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

3. ☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.36°

   The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

   Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

4. ☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.71°

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.

5. ♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.67°

   The capacity to want something and go at it 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.

6. ☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.73°

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.

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