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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 3 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.00°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.41°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.37°
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.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.78°
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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.51°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.10°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
