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 Taurus · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.07°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.29°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.40°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.43°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.60°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.89°
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.
