A
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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 6
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 routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.03°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.24°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.31°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.33°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.55°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
