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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 12 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.10°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.60°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.91°
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.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.06°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.78°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
