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 Aquarius · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 10
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 12 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.23°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.60°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.81°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.41°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
