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.
☉ Sun in Aries · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.06°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.83°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.28°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.11°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.79°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
