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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.16°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.36°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.19°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.10°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.89°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
