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 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.48°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.46°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.75°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.74°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.36°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
