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 Pisces · house 10
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.70°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.11°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.80°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☽ Moon ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 2.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
