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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.11°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.45°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.42°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.47°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.89°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
