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 Gemini · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.24°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.42°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.69°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.22°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 2.17°
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.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 2.68°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
