AAReading
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 Gemini · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.50°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.74°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.51°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 1.62°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.80°
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.
