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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ 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 Aquarius · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.65°
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.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.95°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.30°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 1.27°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
