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 Gemini · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ 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.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.10°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.79°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.91°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.99°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.61°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
