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 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.18°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.40°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.90°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
