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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 3 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

☊ True Node in Virgo · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.05°
