A
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 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 Virgo · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ 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 restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
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 Cancer · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ 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
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.33°
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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.29°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.38°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.50°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.91°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
