Alain (philosopher)
AAReading
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 Pisces · house 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 8
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 9
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 2
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.63°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.94°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.70°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 2.77°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 3.09°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
