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 Capricorn · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
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.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.21°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.71°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.01°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
