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 4
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 3
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.62°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.50°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.99°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
