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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.24°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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 ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.30°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.78°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.79°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.98°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
