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 Aquarius · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
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 Sagittarius · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.01°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.21°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.63°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.86°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.73°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
