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 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 8 ℞
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.34°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.64°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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 ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.28°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.22°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.33°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.53°
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.
