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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.73°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.13°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.98°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☿ Mercury △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.06°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
