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 Gemini · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.09°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.22°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.42°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.57°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
