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
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 Sagittarius · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
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.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 9
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.48°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.48°
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.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.64°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.80°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.00°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
