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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 8
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.06°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.34°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.44°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.94°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.29°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.52°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
