Eugène-Melchior de Vogüé
AAReading
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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.13°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.54°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.60°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.63°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
