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 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.29°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.54°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.43°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.86°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.04°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
