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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
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 Aries · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.46°
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.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.75°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.92°
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 1.04°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.71°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
