Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice and Piedmont
AAReading
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 Cancer · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 11 ℞
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.30°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.62°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.41°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.37°
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.
☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 2.79°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
