A
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 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 8 ℞
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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.02°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.10°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.61°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.64°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.71°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.26°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
