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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 3
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 the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the daily traffic of information.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.07°
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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.55°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.62°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.66°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.67°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
