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 Scorpio · house 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 9 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.03°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.31°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.35°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.57°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.73°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.92°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
