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 Aquarius · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.17°
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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.40°
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.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.58°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.52°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.63°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.71°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
