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 Aries · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.56°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.53°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.95°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.95°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.15°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
