A
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 Virgo · house 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 8
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 11
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.46°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.55°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.07°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.71°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.35°
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.
