André Pieyre de Mandiargues
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 Sagittarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.41°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.43°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.57°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.15°
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.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.17°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
