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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.10°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.33°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.42°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.36°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.91°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.12°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
