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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 0.40°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.51°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.79°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.67°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.72°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
