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 Aries · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
