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
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Pisces · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
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.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.14°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.18°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.54°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.72°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.58°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
