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 Leo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.00°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.16°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.60°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.70°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.80°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
