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 1

    The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

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

  2. Moon in Scorpio · house 7

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

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

  3. Mercury in Gemini · house 2

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

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

  4. Venus in Aries · house 1

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

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

  5. Mars in Gemini · house 2

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.

    In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo · house 6

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

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

  7. Saturn in Virgo · house 6

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.

    In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  8. Uranus in Pisces · house 12

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

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

  9. Neptune in Leo · house 5

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

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

  10. Pluto in Cancer · house 4

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.

  11. True Node in Libra · house 7

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

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

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  12. Chiron in Aries · house 12

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

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

  13. Lilith in Aquarius · house 11

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

The tightest aspects

  1. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 0.03°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

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

  2. Mercury Mars · conjunction, orb 0.08°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Jupiter Uranus · opposition, orb 0.15°

    The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

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

  4. Mars Uranus · square, orb 0.37°

    The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  5. Mercury Uranus · square, orb 0.45°

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.

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

  6. Mars Jupiter · square, orb 0.52°

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

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