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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
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 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3
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.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☿ Mercury · sextile, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.29°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.39°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.35°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.77°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.92°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
