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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 2
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.03°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.43°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.59°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.94°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.68°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.98°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
