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 Pisces · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.32°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.63°
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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.15°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.07°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.89°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 1.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
